The following two posts fail to open in Sync but open normally when logged in from a browser
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.

Is it possible to group favourited communities or users into a single feed?
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! :-)
Are user tags lost if you let your subscription lapse and later resub?
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)
Cannot view comments on local communities
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).
viewing instance remotely and tapping an unknown community name led to the incorrect community
Scenario (steps to reproduce)**
- View instance list from the main page
- Select a smaller instance with communities that may not be federated
- Look at the list of most recent posts
- Tap the community name of a post from the list (this is only possible if you have this setting enabled: Settings shortcut: Link handling > Tap communities to open
- See if it takes you to correct community
Result(s)
Some results lead to entirely different communities.

Sync doing rather badly on formating check (placed 18 out of 20!)
> Updated! Updates are shown in quote text like this. Some scores are updated following app updates. # An Apps Experiment ## Introduction This is an experiment I performed out of curiosity, and I have a few big disclaimers at the bottom. Basically, I’ve seen a lot of comments recently about one app ...
The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.
In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).
Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
Images not showing in body
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.

cannot view a specific community in app
Can anyone try going to [email protected] and let me know if it works? It won't load for me and I tried on an account on that instance and still nothing.
Edit: maybe it's a fluke, or maybe it's a Samsung thing somehow?

Reset community export directory
Am I just missing where this is? I can't seem to get the export to write to a Nextcloud folder so I was going to change it but can't figure out where to do it.
wrong image loading in comment with multiple embedded images
So I have a bottle similar to this one, and I wish for a small snack container that opens in a similar way. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/566427a2-95b9-4ebc-89d5-d6c3439d30f9.jpeg] I want something that opens with a button push, revealing an opening wide enough to dump loose granola, mixed nuts,...
Sync users, in my comment linked above when you tap the second image does it pull up the right one? For me it's about 50/50 whether it will.
This is a bug I noticed a while ago but didn't have any reference examples until now.

No posts shown bug
I don't see any posts on ! [email protected] when browsing from this account on Sync. But, if I visit it from apps like voyager, boost they load fine.!
Edit: I noticed I cannot find this post via search in this community. It's like this post doesn't exist at all.
Add a "Jump to Comments" Button
If it's at all possible. I just find it kind of annoying to have to scroll through super long posts just to get to the comments. Review threads for newly released games in some of the gaming communities are what prompted this idea lol.
Edit: what the hell is going on with that account that keeps spamming nonsense?

So blue for upvote, red for down and then an updated Sync logo.
Sync Crashing after lemmy.world 0.19 update
On my "subscribed" page, if I scroll down, the app crashes. Not sure of anything more than that. But it's definitely repeatable for me.

It is a couple extra presses, but when I receive an inbox message and press it to view the parent comment thread, there is usually a little toast button on the bottom of the screen to view all comments. Do you see that when you click a reply in your inbox?
More info!
So, I tried to post this image from a copy/paste and it would not work: https://morejpeg.com/Image/View/09984d7c-579e-ef11-8104-ea49aec8cc27
But then I found this image from a twitter post and it worked. It lets me upload it to the same post, either in a new comment or editing the one I posted:
Sounds like an issue with handling Exif orientation tags.
Nope, like it opens to where it should be but the option isn't there
I suspect I enabled something that prevents this option
Does this link work?
@[email protected] May be time to retire the RedGIF API status? I don't think its even accurate.
You need to post your device information. Click on the i in the circle on the far right when your keyboard is open. Works for me.

I'm hoping opening an issue on the tracker will help . Someone already made a similar one but the issue seems to be worse for me.
Maybe someone on the discord can bring it up?
We're you able to resolve this? If not did you check if this is enabled?
Thank you. I think I might have inputted the instances in wrong. 
Doesn't seem to work.
You can also block the instance at the account settings level (Blocks tab). That way you will not see posts from these instances on both the webUI and mobile apps.
Sadly it doesn't have a toggle to block comments and post from users of these instances made on communities outside of these blocked instances
Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters
Is this the one?
I have found the some people are facing redgifs not loading. The best solution is tenor.com
