These threads used to be really useful back on Reddit.

I'm currently finishing off full app translations for the next release along with lots of the usual bug fixes.

What should I prioritise next?

Cheers, Lj

I haven't seen other people report this, but for me if you click on comments then hit back it won't take you to the page you clicked on the comment link from, but rather the previous one. So if I was on page 2, go into comments then click' back' I'd end up on page 1.

Would there be a way to implement a meta reddit style setup?

[โ€“] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I'd love these things:

  1. Be able to mark text and wrap with `...`, back ticks, for code formatting.
  2. Mark comment replies as unread.

In app YouTube player like Reddit Sync had. Drives me nuts when I inadvertently click a YouTube link and it takes me to the YouTube app. It's a pain to get back to Lemmy.

Also, I think I remember a check box on Reddit Sync's in app browser to disable cookies or clear on close or something. That would be nice to have back.

I have an issue and not sure where to send it. I think "some" post makes Sync crash.

I hid about 5 posts and now there are no posts and the app doesn't crash and doesn't load new posts.

Maybe I need to relogin...

It would be super helpful if we can hide entire instances from showing up at an individual level. For e.g. I see a lot of posts from feddit.de - I don't have anything bad against the server or the users, but the posts there add no value to my experience and fill up my feed with content I'll simply not understand. It would be a better UX to be able to hide these without having the home instance and other users on it be affected by your preference.

[โ€“] Lemisset@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you click on the 3 dots to access the post options for a post from that instance, there is an option to filter out just that community or even that whole instance. I've done that with several non-english instances.

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 1 points 1 year ago

Is this what you're talking about?

Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters

(Looked like someone else told you another way to get the same effect, but this way you can input any you know of without having to wait to see the posts. Maybe?)

[โ€“] Tagger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How feasible would it be to create toggle-able filters. e.g. I could toggle a sports team community when I haven't seen the result of a game.

You do great work!! Sync has been my most used app for longer than I remember.

Any chance for some tweaks for tablets and foldables?

โ€ข I think it would be nice to be able to hide the navigation rail. It feels like a lot of wasted space. The FAB can do everything the rail can while being better looking and easier to reach.

โ€ข Maybe more column settings for view types (for folded/unfolded)? I like a single column on the outside screen, 2 columns on the inner screen in portrait, and 3 columns on the inner screen in landscape. This is possible in Infinity for Lemmy. But Infinity, as a whole, is not nearly as polished as your app.

I currently use Infinity on my Fold's outer display for single column viewing and Sync on the inner display with tablet mode disabled to avoid the navigation rail. These tweaks would be awesome for foldable users (all 10 of us) so we could get a better use of space while also enjoying the tablet mode features.

I can only find an option to block the community, not the instance. Blocking|hiding communities individually is tedious when you're trying to personalize your feed

@ljdawson@lemmy.world hi! Late to the party, but could you fix spoilers to align them with Lemmy's format?

I love the post preview feature when sharing posts online or with friends.

I think something that would be beneficial to Lemmy (and hence Sync) would be if the entire community name (such as !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world) be displayed in the preview.

A rough MS Paint example:

I'd like a way to block " X " posts. The filters seem to strip leading and trailing spaces from the keywords.
