Sync for Lemmy

Let's face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It's no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there's no indication the dev is still active.

Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn't change as much.

Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They'll possibly buy this app before noticing that it's subtly broken.

Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don't fall into the same trap.

Hey guys, just like the title says, I'm trying to reset my password but I can't find any fucking info on it. I forgot my password. There's no link to reset your password. There's no nothing on it. Sooooooo how do you do it?? I got to do food so I'm trying to log in on my new phone but obviously you don't ever remember your passwords. Every fucking account you make so I need to reset my password so you guys see my dilemma.

It's a shame you gave up on us.

For information for LJ

There was a recent update allowing for more options for viewing votes, which I believe has broken the app in this regard. When logging in from other instances tgat don't have these changes yet, it works as expected.

At first I thought it was a federation issue of some sort but then realized voyager was working fine.

I can't load: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31973594 via Sync. No idea why.

Sync is my favorite Lemmy app, but come on can we at least get some bug fixes once in a while?

Pretty minor, all things considered

Sometimes when I'm replying to a comment, the reply will not get posted to the correct place in the thread... The few times this has happened, the reply ends up getting posted to the root/OP instead.

It will appear as though I'm replying to the correct comment while in the compose screen.

Seriously wtf

I woke up this morning, and I cannot get anything to load in the app. I see the loading icon for a while and eventually get "error loading page."

Edit: I restarted my phone, and everything is working fine now.

When trying to load my subscribed feed, more often than not I get an error. It tries for about 20 seconds but then times out. This happens with infinite scrolls too, it takes a while before I can actually see new posts.

While this is much more common on this Lemmy instance (feddit.nl) than e.g. my alt account on lemmynsfw, the official web-UI doesn't have this issue at all, nor does Photon (at least, the web-app hosted at ph.feddit.nl).

There doesn't seem to be a difference between 4g, 5g and wifi, and turning on/off rethink dns doesn't change anything either. I've also tried toggling the https over dns option, which again does not have any impact.

Reboots, force stopping and clearing cache also do not have an effect.

If anyone else experiences similar problems, or has a potential solution, I'd gladly hear them.

Hey,

Nope just been a little snowed under. Hoping to get an update out over the holidays.

The 0.19.4 release also broke marking posts as read in Sync for Lemmy. Although this isn't really something we consider a blocker, it's still worth mentioning, as there are still a lot of Sync for Lemmy users out there that haven't noticed this issue yet if they're only active on Lemmy.World. Over the last 2 weeks we've had nearly 5k active Sync for Lemmy users . This is unfortunately something that will break during the upgrade, as the API has changed in upstream Lemmy.

Consistently get an error message that I can't dismiss saying "no messages returned"

Did someone else stop seeing votes? I can see them in the browser, not in sync

Whenever I see an article in a post, and try using the sync ultra feature to summarise it, it always just says "No summary found". Does this work for anyone else?

I generally browse "new" a few times to find new and interesting content, but this also means I will encounter a bunch of things I'm not interested in or simply don't understand, i.e. a regional community from another country.

I can use the filter option to filter the instance, community or user, but if you navigate to the community you can also hit "block".

What's the difference between these two, functionally?

Hello there, I suppose this has been asked before, but i would like an up to date information on what the current plan on intergrating mbin compatability is. Also a sub question, is sync becoming FOSS a posibility later down the line?

Thanks, also sync is great

I would love for a convenient way to copy a user's name, like [email protected], from a user's comment or post.

Similarly, I would like to be able to copy the community's name from a post, comment, or the community page itself, like [email protected]

When you receive a notification of a reply to a comment you made, it would be very useful to be able to access the post itself, rather than just the parent comment thread.
