New
- Support for Lemmy 0.19
- Lots and lots of refactoring cleaning up technical debt
- Added “Account settings” to replace “Lemmy Settings”
- This new section syncs up with your Lemmy account
- A few things will need updating such as your nsfw setting and sort
Changes
- Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
- Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)
- Sort has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this also now respects your account choice)
- Removed “mark posts as read” and “remember across devices” as Lemmy does this automatically

Holy shit! Welcome back!
Well that came out of left field
I had been expecting this.
Lemmy itself is still a work in progress and the new version apparently makes some major changes from the current version.
Sync is currently in a usable stable state so instead of squashing bugs in the current Sync version it was a better use of their dev time to work on a build for 0.19.
Great! Now we wait for lemmy 0.19 to go stable!
Since the update the app crash at startup. I’ve tried to delete the cache but it still doesn’t start.
try delete the data and start over again. something wrong with the previous config (when restored) that’s not compatible with the updated version.
Worked with deleting data.but I had to relogin/reconfigure my accounts which I was trying to avoid.
it depends on where you store it if you’ve made any backup before. You can check it by try to create a new backup, or a new restore. the app will point to some folder.
Sort is broken now, trying to change it says “network error” and it defaults to “top 6 hours” which for many communities shows no posts.
Can’t revert to previous version of Sync for some reason, it prompts me to update it and refuses to start if I don’t.
The “Communities” button under the three dot menu still doesn’t do anything.
