I wish this Sync had the “sort communities list by times visited” option like Sync for Reddit

Hi, right now ultra users can either add a new user tag or remove it. Can you please make it editable too? @ljdawson@lemmy.world

Not sure if you know this already, but spoilers made by people using the website version don’t load properly.

The markdown for spoilers can be found here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html

Hmm that’s weird, that one worked. But if I try viewing this post https://sopuli.xyz/post/10635149, the spoilers are a mess.

My experience exactly when I tried mentioning the spoiler problem (there’s a markdown-specific post here if you wanted to add anything else, btw)

I think there are 3 ways of marking spoilers and Sync only recognizes 1 of them or something. Even on this community’s about section there’s a spoiler that doesn’t work in the app.

the spoilers are a mess.

Yup. They are (for now)!

Sync actually makes one up based off reddit. Click the markdown button presently and your spoiler won’t work on the website. This is being reworked though.

!see!<

Yes, it does show ads. It does that. (The same way a lot of apps handle free-tier.)

There are other Lemmy apps out there that don’t show ads, but I think Sync is the most polished of the bunch.

In the play store description I noticed you refer to “subs” but they’re called “communities” here.

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.

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

Settings shortcut: Link handling > Expanded selftext links

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.
