This is exactly the reason, after using Sync for YEARS on reddit, I paid for Sync on Lemmy the minute it was available.
This is absolutely the best application for browsing this type of forum. I get why some other folks prefer FOSS/Free/Non-ad based apps, but I have no qualms about shelling out the cash for a really well designed app that I use just about daily.

Yeah its not even close. Lj, you are an extremely skilled developer. Thanks for making such a good app
Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek
This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! ๐
Sync apps have been my go-to for 10 years. Here's to 10 more ๐ป

Holy shit. This looks like an epic update!
Sync is actually just the best.
You're the best LD!

Common LJ W. Happy lifetime Ultra supporter.
Excellent work boss, as always ๐๐ป
Edit: Wow the messaging section is looking good, Sync for Reddit never looked that nice!
In the play store description I noticed you refer to "subs" but they're called "communities" here.
Cheers I'll change that.
Great. You've been killing it lately, thank you.
Superb! Thank you for the hard work!
Thank you so much for the continued updates!
Something about the fixes for usernames not showing up appears to have undone the fix for #122. I can see my username in plaintext for the current account even though I have hidden the display names.
This is awesome, nice work!
Hope push notifications are next! (yes, I'm on Ultra)
Notifications! Yes! Thank you.
(Can someone please reply to this, so that I can test if they work for me? Thanks. ๐)
Hello, friend
Thanks. It doesn't seem to work though. I've set it to check for messages every 10 minutes but I get no notification. (The app was closed during that time) ๐ค
Does anyone have the some problem? I'm on Android 14 on a Pixel 7 Pro.
Able to reproduce this. Seems like setting anything under 15 mins causes an issue. Will patch today.
Great work, thank you. I'm wondering if you've put any more thought into displaying downvotes on comments? Now that post editing is fixed that's basically the only thing I keep going back to the PWA for.
Much preferred the old inbox. If I get 5 replies to a comment I dont need to see the post title above all of them (I dont really want to see it above any of them.) I clicked the "show post titles in replies" option in the messaging options section to off but it made no difference.
I'm wondering that also. The extra functionality is nice but it's going to take some getting used to. I'll adjust though
Any plans on emoji pickers for instances with custom emojis?
Custom emojis also currently render much larger than they should.
New messaging looks awesome!
Is there a way I can bind sync to be my default app for links to my instance? Annoying that someone sends me a lemmy.ca link and I have to go find it manually in sync, or just view it in my browser.
Oh true, Fediverse links are still not handled ideally. I know there's technical limitations to fedi app developers keeping an up-to-date list of domains that their app can open links from, but it would definitely be nice if there were some easier way to do things.
One side note, I've noticed that Megalodon (a Mastodon client) has a pretty good workaround for this issue -- if you use the share sheet to share a link with Megalodon, it gives you the option to post the link or to attempt to open the link in the client. That'd be a pretty killer feature to have in Sync, if there isn't some easier/better way to make it easier to choose certain Lemmy domains to open in Sync by default.
Nice one.
Thanks boss! Much appreciated
Excellent!
I cannot open the inbox. I get "Error opening page".

The new default inbox view is pretty unreadable, at least for me. The entire screen is filled by like 1.5 replies, there's tons of dead space. Is there any way to change the view options of the inbox? I can't seem to find any.
Not sure if you know this already, but spoilers made by people using the website version don't load properly.
The markdown for spoilers can be found here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html
test spoiler
TEST
Hmm that's weird, that one worked. But if I try viewing this post https://sopuli.xyz/post/10635149, the spoilers are a mess.
My experience exactly when I tried mentioning the spoiler problem (there's a markdown-specific post here if you wanted to add anything else, btw)
I think there are 3 ways of marking spoilers and Sync only recognizes 1 of them or something. Even on this community's about section there's a spoiler that doesn't work in the app.

the spoilers are a mess.
Yup. They are (for now)!
Love the update! Thank you, Mr. LJ!
Sadly though, I just got my first reply notification (yay!) โฆ and the inbox notification badge that tells me I have 1 new only shows up on the bottom nav bar and not in my left drawer or more actions inboxes..
I can screenshot them if you need me to.
Which action boxes?
Adding it to the drawer is on my todo
Using the "More Actions" menu via the three-dots button at the top of my Subscribed feed, this is my view:
In the lower left of that menu is my Inbox icon, with no "new messages" badge. (I admit I don't know all the right words) In the dimmed bg you can see my Bottom Nav bar, with a badge on it.
(Cropped view of the 2 inbox icons)
Question - I notice that the little nav bar dot with a number to indicate new replies or messages is now showing in dark grey rather than orange. I had a look in settings, but I can't see a way to choose the colour for that. Anyone know of a way?
Normally appears here when there's a new reply:
In case it's useful...
