Post 1: [Potentially NSFW, image-redacted screenshot below] https://lemmy.world/post/21854714

Post 2: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27879920

I was able to comment in these threads from my PC via the Alexandrite frontend, but attempting to view those comments via Sync displays "Could not load post" with an option to Retry, which does not succeed.

Post 1 appears visible when opening the community, but opening the post displays the same error. Post 2 (the sh.itjust.works link which is posted on a lemmy.world community) the post does not appear in the community at all in Sync.

Confirmed that these communities/users are not blocked on my account, and no filters set within the app should apply to these posts either.

Per this thread, I'm wondering if it might be possible to create feeds of favourited people or communities.

I guess this would be similar to how multireddits worked and since that's not available on Lemmy, this might not be either. But maybe some smart person out there knows of a way.

It's not even me that wants to do it, but I'm invested in an answer now! :-)

Is there any particular reason why pasting an image from clipboard works in some places, but not others? I have not been able to determine what prevents it from working? Is this an issue with Sync? It doesn't seem to depend on the Lemmy instance.

I've been using Sync for at least three years, and I've been a vocal advocate of the app, but I don't feel right paying for ad free anymore.

I am unable to transfer my paid account to my new phone and yet Google continues to take out my $2.13 every month. I understand everyone needs time away sometimes but I don't see how LJD feels right accepting people's money while providing ZERO support for months on end, and never bothering to at least appoint a maintainer in his absence.

I see issues piling up with this app and I'm forced to look at ads while LJD does whatever he wants and takes my money. I feel stupid that I've been paying this man for years to provide a good experience just to be taken for a ride like this.

I had bought the lifetime pro back in the Reddit days, I paid for pro subscription while using Lemmy, and at this point I'm just done. I hate writing this post because I've been a happy, continual premium user of this app for literally years, but there's only so much I can handle.

One thing I really like about Android 15 is the way back navigation is animated. Unfortunately, not a lot of apps support it since this was not available for a while and a lot of apps rolled their custom solutions. Maybe you could change that in Sync?

I think I was able to upload screenshots recently from my phone, but trying to upload photos from my phone's gallery failed to load. I am not the most tech savvy, but I was able to post photos this way in the past.

I have been emailing some photos to myself, and able to post them to lemmy from my desktop after they fail to upload from Sync.

Is there a problem with my method? or Sync? or Lemmy.world?

I have auto update enabled on my phone for Sync.

Does anyone have advice, or thoughts to share?

Thanks

It looks like the cct-incognito flag has been removed from Chrome v130.0.6723.58

I have two accounts in the app. One of them, if I go to Settings > General has "Drawer Navigation" and "Bottom Navigation"

My other account doesn't have these options at all.

This happened before and then got fixed. I'm not sure what's wrong but if I try to update anything in my account settings I get a network error, unable to save message. For anything in account settings I need to go to my instance directly on a browser and then update and it'll be picked up by sync. This hasn't worked for months and I'm hoping someone here has an idea of what might be wrong.

Hi! I would really appreciate a feature allowing Sync to open Lemmy posts from e.g. my browser. I'm not an Android dev so I do not have a clue of how feasible this is, but it'd make me really happy :)

Anyways, appreciate the work you're doing, please don't burn yourself out too much

Given the issue viewing local community comments I'm sadly considering seeing how other apps have matured since I started using Sync. If I stop my sub, but then it gets fixed and I want to come back, will I lose my user tags, etc? Has anyone tried?

(also, Lj, if you see this it's nothing personal, still the best designed app)

Anyone else experiencing this? I can* view the posts fine but any post to a community on my instance will not show comments (despite a comment count).

Heyo!

I’ve been using Sync for Lemmy for a while and noticed that the app hasn’t been updated in about 3/4 months. So I was kind of wondering if the development of sync is still ongoing?

Additionally, there were some premium features that the developer had promised would come pretty soon, but they still haven’t been added to to sync.

Just curious if anyone knew anything! Perhaps he's just busy with life atm.

Ok so... I was thinking about this in the Sync for Reddit app originally... Maybe the "feature" I'm thinking of already exists and you all already know it but...

I've blocked like... A shitload of people (on sync for reddit... Mostly... But here too sort of) ...

Anyways... Occasionally I want to reconsider a blocking and I would appreciate if there an easy way to view, review, and revise that list within Sync for Lemmy...

If it already exists, my apologies to LJ

There's an issue with posts not showing as read on newer instances of Lemmy.

I can block individual communities, but I wanna block everything from hexbear.

As in title - woke up today and sync closes instantly after opening. trying a re-install now.

Edit: thanks all for your feedback.

The culprit was Canary Webview. I uninstalled it and everything's ok again. All apps working fine.

Basically what the title says. I first noticed that maybe 2 weeks ago, instead of showing the vote count of the post, Sync just shows me a blank space between the up- and downvote arrows:

Has this something to do with Lemmy or Sync itself? Has anyone else noticed that?

On my pixel whenever I use the pull to right gesture to go back on a post the background will be black. However, if I use the back button or system back gesture the background shows the previous screen.

On my tab both gestures show the previous screen, so it's not a general thing I guess...
