Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Everything is gorgeous :)

It's like coming home after a long trip.

I have found a bug though. Logging in to sh.itjust.works seems to cause crashes that other instances don't (so far). Lemmy.world, ttrpg.network, and sopuli.xyz haven't crashed at all so far. Haven't tested any others yet since I want to take a bit to just enjoy the app.

Seriously, Dawson, thank you for this :)

Edit: found a very minor thing in the comment markdown menu. The >!spoiler!< markdown on lemmy is different than reddit uses. The >! Doesn't work here.

Spoiler is weird on lemmy. It's

Supposedly. However, it doesn't actually work at all in most apps.

The reddit >! Works in sync, but not elsewhere.

Are we absolutely married to the idea that "upvotes" are orangered and "downvotes" are perrywinkle? I mean it works and we all understand the visual queue but lemmy has a chance to be different. Some people don't even want to call them upvotes and downvotes anymore. Just my thoughts... So far, I like sync a lot! Though I have to agree with a few other users that the font is small but I kinda like it. I didn't realize how much scrolling I did just to read something.

Yessss. Using it to post this, and it just feels like home.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Does anyone know if there's a way to see individual Upvotes and Downvotes? Been looking in the settings and haven't found anything.

I love this app. I'm about to purchase a lifetime subscription. I just have a couple of suggestions:

  1. Make it easier to keep your existing settings when adding an account without having to do a backup and restore.
  2. Allow it to switch from one pane to two when opening a foldable device.

Great job, thanks!!

If anyone is interested is restore customisation, the Sync for Reddit backup works for Sync for Lemmy.

Feels just as good as Reddit Sync did. Amazing job

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Glad to see some more options for everyone to participate. I'm entirely satisfied with Liftoff, personally.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you!! Lemmy feels like home now! BTW if you're using lemmy.world instance, currently there's a server issue that prevents apps from loading comments. It's not a Sync issue.

I'm so happy

[โ€“] BehindTheBarrier 3 points 1 year ago

Love it.

Some replies to a reply are showing up in the wrong place. Might be a bug, might be because I imported settings from old sync to save myself the trouble of configuring the application anew. Worked like a charm though.

I have a question, can I pin a instance in the feeds? Eg I have a lemmy.world account. Right now it shows me Everything, Local, and Subscribed. But I do want to see everything in programming.devs main page. It's like an everything for programming, so I see that as a valid use case.

Thanks for the great work! Just made a Lemmy account earlier today & subscribed to Ultra after seeing how much care & thought have clearly gone into this app. Excited to see what comes next!

[โ€“] lolfaceftw 3 points 1 year ago

i love the UI. It really matches well with Google's. Using it right now!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I feel like a complete moron, but I downloaded Sync for Lemmy and I can't figure out how to login :( I did manage to switch the default instance to my own, but I see nowhere to enter my credentials.

It looks nice though

[โ€“] big_slap 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

click the icon on the top left, then click add account and enter your credentials

This is already the smoothest third party app for lemmy. I've missed this
