Not posting from the app obviously since submissions aren't supported just yet, but the app is otherwise awesome so far!!! Really well done ljdawson, just wanted to make this post to say thank you. I signed up for sync ultra right away.

And this reply as well! Woohoo, we're back, baby!

So happy to have this app back, I'm already subscribed to Ultra!

Here's a test reply from Sync! (โ˜ž๏พŸใƒฎ๏พŸ)โ˜ž

!hello world!<

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same. I'd have preferred a simple ad-free iap, but ultra is fine for now. I was so excited for this app that I want to support it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah Ultra is all good, I love this app so happy to pay

Heyho!

Now that I have Sync again, I feel 0 desire to get ever go back to reddit again

The only thing lemmy was missing was a really solid client

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Only time I Reddit now is when the lemmy.world servers are down ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

For this case I simply made a second account @lemmy.ml

Miles ahead of any Lemmy app so far.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm really liking it but have only tested a short time now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yup... bought the remove ads feature as soon as it showed up to support the dev. I imagine losing the revenue stream from reddit was pretty impactful.

Hello from the Sync for Lemmy app!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

First reply from Sync!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

God I missed Peeking ! No other app was doing it at the moment.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I missed automatic AMP removal from links. Man, Sync is the best

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What is peeking on Sync ?I'm a Boost former user so I haven't used Sync.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pressing and holding on a picture in the feed and it expanding. Very useful if you use compact view or don't have full height cards enabled.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can do that??

This changes everything

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

It really does change everything. Best feature out there.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

It's bloody marvelous

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I have no idea how I survived the last 2 months without this, but my god is it beautiful to have you back, my beloved sync <3

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (4 children)

My Lemmy.world account is crashing it, seems to be working fine with my fresh new FMHY one.

Yes, definitely awesome. I'm getting a lot of Error 403, though. I'm sure it will stabilize. Really missed Sync.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lemmy.world is being DDoSed, for the time being you can try a different instance

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

There seems to be a lot of that. Thanks for the heads-up.

This would be a great time to hop to a new Lemmy instance

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Mine's still stuck on pending

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I cancelled the auto install and just did it manually and worked fine.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Cancel and reinstall

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Weird issue I have is that links in text are like a way bigger size then the rest of the text for some reason.

That is amazing, I never knew that was a feature.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's just one of those tiny quality of life features. I've been using sync for years and I'm constantly discovering new features haha.

Long press any of the settings and it'll put it on your clipboard to paste!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shortcut for anyone who wants to disable it:

[Settings shortcut: Link handling > Show larger links](sync-settings://7-large_link_sources)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Also, you can long press on any of the settings to copy its link!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm actually having an issue where hidden posts keep unhiding themselves, but it isn't obvious what's triggering the bug quite yet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately hide isn't native to Lemmy yet, you need to mark as read first so it doesn't come back. Also might require you to uncheck show read in your Lemmy settings

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I just want to say that I absolutely love being able to see the thumbnail picture enlarged by long clicking it again. I used Jerboa up until now, but it's absolutely great to have all those familiar gestures back.
