Sync for Lemmy

I added a second lemmy account to Sync and on that second account posts aren't marked as read after I opened them. Sometimes they get marked as read after a reload, but only sometimes.

Is that a bug? Is there a solution?

Hey all, just ran into this this morning, I was replying to a comment and it showed up at the same level as the comment I was replying to until a refresh. I'll see if I can reproduce it for screenshots in a bit. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me so far?

I noticed with QPR3, the back gesture in Sync now shows a black screen during the animation.

Could this be fixed? I read it'll become default in Android 15.

On posts that I access through my home instance, i.e. any post present in the "Your local instance" feed, nothing appears in the comments section apart from the message "There are no comments", despite the UI suggesting that there are several.

When accessing the post's permalink in the web UI of the instance, the comments show up without issue, even when logged in.

To reproduce, log in to sync with a lemm.ee account, switch to local feed and click on any post that appears to have comments. For example: https://lemm.ee/post/35476369

For some reason I haven't been able to replicate this on any other instance (tried with .world and .ml, both of which don't seem to have this issue)

What features would you most like to see implemented/updated?

Hi there,

It seems that my midwest.social account has stopped showing the upvote count on posts and comments sometime over the last few days. My Lemmy.world and lemm.ee accounts show them fine still.

Ive tried logging out and back in and still no dice.

Anyone else having this bug?

Samsung Galaxy S24, latest play store build.

Anyone having a new issue where swiping from the left to go back to the thread list from a thread doesn't load properly and instead shows a black screen for a second or so.

All animations in the settings are enabled.

Recently I started noticing that a lot of posts will mark as read for a second then go back to unread when viewing just the image or article. It's not all posts though and I haven't determined a pattern yet, but opening the comments seems to mark as read on refresh even though the post looks unread before refreshing.

I'm on version 122 of Sync on Android.

Starting yesterday, when I click a link to view the image or comments, the link doesn't appear "read" when I go back to the feed.

I know Sync hasn't updated, but yesterday I updated Chrome and rebooted my phone, in case that's relevant.

I keep clicking the same posts over and over and can't use Hide Read option to only see new stuff.

I can't see what I'm typing in landscape orientation. I type in landscape 100% of the time.

It happened recently, the share function doesn't seem to be pulling the URL from the page.

Edit: this is with Firefox mobile beta 127.0b9 as my default browser

This is not happening on every post, but I'm seeing "There are no comments" more and more on posts where there are comments. The comment counter in the example pic shows 8. And I know there is at least one (I made a comment).

Any ideas?

Edit: I did try clearing cache and storage with no effect.

How can I see totals per up and down vote in sync? Right now it combines them.

Not sure if it's just me but I've noticed I've never seen any images in the body of a post on sync, though I have on a browser. I assumed in the past the user just forgot to add images but I now found a button to open them. Are they meant to be embedded in the large empty space?

Just incase this issue is widespread and nobody can see, Il note that I have attached 3 images showing the issue.

Can someone please check this comment I made and let me know if you see the inline image?

I had posted this a few months and it's still the same issue.

If I search for a community using sync it only shows around 6-7. And that is also in the explore bar, it doesn't do the search in the dedicated search page.

Am I doing something wrong or is this still the case?

As the title asks, is it possible to migrate the settings for an account to a new phone? Would hate to have to set it up again..

I think a lot of people forget to check where they are before replying to things (me especially). Serious replies show up in shitposts and are then apologized for, joke comments are made in communities that are more serious, etc.

I was thinking it'd be nice to have the option to make me click through a confirmation of the community I'm in before crafting a data-driven response to something in an askmelolz group.

Bonus points for making it big and colorful :D

Sync grabs images using an option for max length of 1500px, so the super long images are just a smattering of pixels that barely represent the original image.

I can't find a way in the app to get a better quality version. I end up opening a web browser to view.

Edit: I'm pretty sure that I made a mistake here, in that I tried to use my main credentials to sign in and transfer, but I actually bought the lifetime on a different account. The likelihood that I confused myself with my paranoia is likely high.

Hey all. I'm having this issue where a bunch of content replies disappear on me. Or, rather, they are in my inbox, but when I click them to go reply and vote on them in the comments of the post where they are, they are completely missing from the thread/conversation. So to make it clear, they never disappear from my inbox, but they just can't be seen in the comments section itself, under the associated post.

Is this a bug or expected behavior?

Thanks for any help.

Links that open natively in Sync (like news articles) are often riddled with ads. Is there any way for the Sync shell to open through a Firefox based browser, which includes native ad block?

I'm not sure if this is related to what browsers I have on my phone. I do have one chromium based browser (kiwi) installed, and if getting rid of that would fix the problem I could look into deleting it and leaving only FF on my phone. But I'm not sure if it's related.

When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

>!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

I've added some instances to the instance filters, yet I continue seeing those instances. Is there something else that I need to do to block entire instances?

I'm seeing within Sync a number of users have profile pics that show up on their posts. Is there a way in Sync to set that?

I am trying to block all posts that are links to YouTube on my feed. I tried domain filtering for all 4 of the domains that the YouTube app auto opens. But I still see YouTube link posts. I tried logging out and back in, no luck. Anyone know?

I set the polling interval to never but I still get notifications for some reason. I know I can disable the notifications at the system level, but I would rather the app doesn't do the polling at all currently. Android 14, Pixel 7a.

I'm looking to make links stand out by any means. I find myself always opening them and having something like YouTube or other video services open and start playing while in places where that's not ideal.

I've spent quite some time trying to set up the font settings with Sync, and it always seems like the ideal font size would be right between two settings (typically Regular and Medium). I have tried adjusting it in many different ways, also adjusting the base font size, etc but just can't seem to get it dialed in the way I want. Could you maybe add some settings in between the ones that are there now? Or maybe just let us select the size in points directly? Thanks.

I've been using Sync for Lemmy in conjunction with this Lemmy.world account since it first hit the Play store on Android.

For the last month or so, I can no longer successfully upvote or downvote posts or comments within the app. This seems to have been around the time or shortly after the votes changed colors from orange/blue to blue/red for a general time reference; I'm not suggesting that update broke anything, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Anyone else have this problem?

Solution: I had enabled the setting indicating my account as a bot account. I mistakenly thought this meant I wanted to view bot posts, not that I was indicating my account as a bot account.

Thanks all, glad things are working as intended!

I think that's what it says but that's the error I'd say I get about 40% of the time when trying to view image posts. Is this a sync thing or something else?

Question in the title. I don't want to see posts from lemmynsfw, but I don't want to just blanket disable NSFW stuff either since the tag gets used for other things. Is there a way to do this or do I have to individually block each community that shows up in my feed?

I'm unable to visit a community using the sidebar suggested method of searching for "!community@instance" convention.

Is this normal?
