Evening all.

I've created a status page to monitor all services I maintain to run Sync for Lemmy.

There's not too many at the moment but will keep updating as I create new APIs etc.

Cheers, Lj

Upcoming releases (self.syncforlemmy)

Hey everyone.]

So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).

I'm gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you're having that I should know about or any new feature requests.

Sorry for the bad comms but I'm making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.

Cheers, Lj

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.

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! :-)

Paste Image From Clipboard (self.syncforlemmy)
submitted 1 month ago by gofsckyourself to c/syncforlemmy
 
 

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 quit. (sh.itjust.works)

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

Can't find drawer navigation (self.syncforlemmy)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by MeatsOfRage to c/syncforlemmy
 
 

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.

22
 
 

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).
