Hey everyone.]

So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).

I'm gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you're having that I should know about or any new feature requests.

Sorry for the bad comms but I'm making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.

Cheers, Lj

Any chance of an option to flip the upvote/downvote colors to the Lemmy ordering (blue up/red down)? It's always a little jarring going between the app and website and seeing all my votes are backwards

I'd still like to see OpenBoard keyboard get to auto-complete/correct in the title field (and Swiftkey, I've heard). I don't know what's up with that, but it makes me sad.

The spoiler tags could use an overhaul so they are consistent with the rest of Lemmy. (Obviously handled in the markdown overhaul you mentioned)

Being able to edit image posts, or the titles of posts in the app would be appreciated.

The other thing that's on my list is the inbox thing. There's the discrepancy in badges for unread - bottom nav bar gets the badge, but the other views don't seem to; there's also the crashing when I change to other views in my inbox if I get there from the left drawer or the top "More Actions" area. (Pretty sure I made issue tracker reports on those.)

Welcome back, LJ! Thanks for all the work you put into Sync - it is such a good interface and user experience overall, and I love it.

Glad to see you're back, LJ, hopefully things are going ok in life for ya.

I'd love the ability to block entire instances from within the app, or hide if that API isn't available.

Is it different from the instance filter here: Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters ? (I see that I have accounts blocked and communities blocked, but I haven't tried blocking or filtering any instances)

[โ€“] baelem@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Ah! I spent ages looking from the Instance page but didn't think to look in there. That'll do!

Is it possible to get ads blocked in the articles that open through sync? I'm not talking about the ones that show up in the unpaid version in the comment section, but rather when you click through to an article, sometimes the sites are so ad-riddled it becomes difficult to read.

The 2 screenshots here are the same link opened through sync vs through firefox

This is the link

I don't have this issue... Using Mull as my default browser with uBlock Origin. The webview that opens up is handled by Mull and applies ad blocking.

The only problem as an overall happy Ultra user is when I try to go back from any other sub-page, the previous page sometimes starts from the very beginning as if it refreshed.

For example, when I just browse the feed, then find an interesting community, visit it, come back and I have to scroll the feed all over again. This doesn't happen every time but only sometimes. Doesn't feel like ram issue as I'm running S24U, should be capable for that.

Also, automatic skip of "Load next page" would be awesome as I've filtered quite a lot of stuff.

Otherwise Sync is amazing, keep it up!

I'd like an option to use the red nsfw previews instead of the blur.

[โ€“] Bingo@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago

Pretty much the only thing that's missing for me is a way to customize card and background colors - dark mode gray's too light, AMOLED is too dark for me ^^

[โ€“] nutsack@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I want to filter out image posts. Lots of communities have good content but are plagued with useless unfunny reddit-tier memes.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 8 months ago

A new spammer today made me think of another feature request: automatically refresh the currently viewed comment section after blocking a user to instantly remove the blocked comments.

[โ€“] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 4 points 8 months ago

There is also the problem that I can't upload any photos which I took with my phone to lemmy because they're just too big. It would be nice if it would offer to resize it to smaller to be able to upload it, otherwise I have to somehow do that manually on the phone which is not very stright forward.

[โ€“] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 4 points 8 months ago

I'd like to be able to cross post like I can in the web frontend.

Multiple images in comments have been pretty buggy, I'll tap one and it goes to the other image

Full immersive mode, or transparent navigation bar. Gesture navigation is horrible.
