I don’t use Sync but I’m glad it’s an option.

Fixed “view more” comments hierarchy issues

Huh? I still have this issue with beta 29, top sort comment still fucked because of this, and also when going to inbox messages I need to view parent all the time (although I think this is a Lemmy issue).

Yes it’s a Lemmy issue

Comments are basically broken in many areas (parent children relations, sorting options)

Yeah, I know something odd is going on in the backend, but just to let you know, I have no issues with Voyager app regarding sorting of the comments or checking the inbox, not sure if they are using a workaround for this though.

I wanted to report Sync issue about sorting by old for both posts and comments since nothing is returned, but after checking from browser, turns out it is Lemmy issue. Checked multiple instances, same thing for all of them.

Would it be possible to include the release notes in the play store also? I do like some nice release notes before updating.

I’m here giving it a try since I was using Sync Premium for Reddit for a long time before leaving Reddit. I was initially using the Voyager (WefWef) PWA and liked it a lot but definitely giving this a solid shot since I liked the Reddit one a ton. If I end up sticking around in the Fediverse and in Sync I might drop the $20 USD to remove adds and support the devs.

As a diehard desktop user, I seldom use mobile clients other than for brief looks. However, just got back from a week long holiday where I used Sync exclusively for my morning scroll - and it was was brilliant!

My one remaining quibble is with the way that links in comments are inexplicably a couple of font sizes bigger than surrounding text. Anyone found a setting to change that?
