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.
Excellent work boss, as always ๐๐ป
Edit: Wow the messaging section is looking good, Sync for Reddit never looked that nice!
Superb! Thank you for the hard work!
You're the best LD!

This is awesome, nice work!
Hope push notifications are next! (yes, I'm on Ultra)
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.
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.
Doesn't work with a setting > 15 minutes for me either. I currently have it set at 30 minutes and didn't receive a notification about your reply.
Thanks for looking into it!
Can you reply to this to test please.
Here's a test reply.
Seems to be working now.
I've pushed the update through. Hopefully should be live in the next hour or two.
Just installed v121 and I got a notification upon starting the app.
Seems to be working. Thank you!
Update is now available
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.
Android Settings -> Apps -> Sync -> Open by default
Ah that makes sense, thanks! I was looking in the sync options.
Edit: odd it doesn't work. I added every domain, then click a lemmy.world link in discord and it still opens chrome
hmmm, not sure if chrome has this, but for Firefox I use the "Open in App" button, since I have "Open links in apps" set to Never.
Though I can replicate your issue, clicking a lemmy link in Discord brings me to Firefox, whereas clicking a YouTube link in Discord takes me directly to the YouTube app (technically the ReX app)
I had the same issue, you could try Lemmy Redirect (the github repo is named after the Mastodon proxy, but the Lemmy one is there as well), works for me.
Thanks boss! Much appreciated
Nice one.
Excellent!
Wow this is awesome! I especially like the new inbox, it looks spectacular.
I do have a feature request, is this the right place to make it? I would like to be able to turn off infinite scroll. When I get to the bottom of a page, I want it to stop loading and require me to hit a button to load more content. There are already the page indicators, so really just need a toggle for infinite scroll.
I cannot open the inbox. I get "Error opening page".

In the play store description I noticed you refer to "subs" but they're called "communities" here.
Cheers I'll change that.
Hey, think you could tinker with the "Glide Failed to Grab This Image" bug? It's happening more and more now, and it even happens to images I post.
Great. You've been killing it lately, thank you.
While you're at it this setting should probably say "Body" or maybe "post body" instead of "selftext".
Settings shortcut: View type > Show selftext previews
Edit: oh, found it in a couple other spots
Settings shortcut: Post options > Long press selftext to select text
It's been "selftext" since day 1 on reddit iirc. This should stay the way it is. It's part of Sync's identity imo.
When i noticed, back then, i found it funny. Idk if it's intentional or a forgotten placeholder that survived.
At a certain point Lemmy and Sync are going to find users that weren't redditors and I could see it causing some confusion. It's minor though. Bothers me less than "subs" for sure.
