Sync for Lemmy

Client-site "multicommunities" would be nice. A way for me to group multiple communities into a single feed like multireddits.

fairly minor thing, but can you detect from sync whether a home instance allows downvotes? mine does not, but sync still displays the unusable downvote button on everything

Block users by instance:

A few features I would love to see:

1. A way to view groups of multiple communities in a single feed. Like a multicommunity. A workaround right now is to have multiple accounts, which is less than ideal.

2. A way to view content from multiple accounts in a single feed. Like a universal feed.

3. An easier way to have the same settings apply to multiple accounts.

4. A way to block instances or communities.

When browsing "local" or "all", it would be nice to have some kind of indicator next to the community name to let you know if you've already subscribed or not. I browse "all" sometimes looking for new communities to sub to and I click through to find out I'm already subbed often.

I think something as simple as being able to set a different color for subbed communities would work well and be enough to stand out at a glance.

My biggest feature request is an option to view upvotes and downvotes separately rather than as one combined number. Ideally the current combined method would remain an option as well.

Is it not possible to add upvotes history?

Comments collapsing down not up.

I.e. I read a long comment, collapse it and then don't have to scroll up to read the next one.

Last time I tried using the spoiler tag, I got multiple people responding telling me sync used syntax different from what Lemmy standard is. Not sure if that's been fixed yet, but sounds like an easy one.

To see a list of all communities on an instance. Unless I'm being dumb, I don't see this feature yet. And a subscribe button next to each community in the list

Something that only makes sense on lemmy and not Reddit, but I think it would be cool to explore a combined account view. With defederation I've now ended up with multiple accounts that can all see different things. Could be nice to combine my beehaw and lemmy.world subscriptions view together.

Combining multiple posts on all / local feeds:

Have a global setting for not sharing the post title by default when I want to directly share an image from the app. It's come unstuck and turned back on for me a couple times.

I also wanted to say the only reason I'm using lemmy at all is because of your app; I'm a big fan. As soon as your app turned off for Reddit, I quit using Reddit. I'm glad that you turned to this community, and I'll support you here too :)

Side note: I'm a software developer, so if you ever want an enhancement in an open-source library, maybe reach out and I can take a crack at it. I'm mostly familiar with Python and C# but I'm always willing to learn new things!

A way to group subscribed communities into a single 'subscription'. I can then associate all the tech related stuff into one clickable item, and all my sports related stuff etc.

Idea is to let me view subscriptions by 'topic'

Allow users to switch accounts when making posts or comments instead of having to go back to the home screen

Rename other users or hide certain characters. Im sick of people using emojis in their names but I don't necessarily want to block them.

Notifications. Doesn't have to be push notifications - polled notifications is fine as well until push is implemented.

After that, cross-posting support.

When people post images, they often use markdown in the text field. Sync doesn't display this properly in the posts feed.

Blocked instances appear in comments.

A cross post button or option of some kind.

Hiding blocked communities from the 'Everything' feed please

Search function. I get this. I cannot search remote instance toast whenever I try to search

Offline sync would be fantastic.

Blocking an instance.

Having webp images/animated images show up in the post feed without having to click on the image

I'd like to get a quick option to block a community right alongside the filter options (filter user, filter site, filter community).

Eternity for Lemmy implemented this and it's been really handy for small instance users to funnel traffic through our instances.

Is there a way to see what I've upvoted? I've basically been both upvoting and saving everything. Thank you for all the work either way!

Would like an "overview" when going on mine or someone else's profile so posts and comments are mixed. Saves me clicking through each and giving better context.

An option to disable the toast 'you are hiding everything on page 6' and just continue on anyway, without needing to press retry.

Block Bots

Please

Emoji support would be :chefs-kiss:

posted before maybe:

• filters with a timeout (filters that disappear after a while). The filter might remain in a list of filters and can be reset again (or gets deleted after timeout). This would be a middle ground between blocking certain things completely and not at all.

• weighing of certain communities. A weight of 0 would be the same as blocking. A weight of 1 doesn't change anything. A Weight of 0.5 would multiply the upvotes of posts by 0.5 in order to change its position on the frontpage. ( I am not sure how exactly the rank is determined, but weighing certain meme-communities lower would be nicer than completely blocking them - i like a nice stupid meme from time to time. am not sure how this could work on reality, son this might not have a perfect solution though.

I have four suggestions that I didn't mention in our previous talk:

1._ Swipe to upvote/downvote the main post in the comment section.

2._ Subscribed mark/icon for communities in the feeds or the new instances view to quickly know if we are already subscribed to such communities.

3._ In the Explore section the subbed users count only show up in unsubscribed communities, it would be nice if it shows In your subscribed communities as well.

4._ Ability to browse per instances in other sections (like when we are inside a community)

• I would like to be able to have the auto-complete/predict/correct available in the title field with the OpenBoard keyboard app, please.

• And editing the title? (I learned I can do it from the website, but would like to be able to do it in Sync, if possible.)

As far as issues, I experience occasional crashes (once or twice per day, maybe) when opening images. I haven't found a pattern as-yet but I will try to take note of an example next time it happens.

For new features, maybe push notifications of new messages?

Still loving the app, thanks for all you do!
