These threads used to be really useful back on Reddit.

I'm currently finishing off full app translations for the next release along with lots of the usual bug fixes.

What should I prioritise next?

Cheers, Lj

Is it possible to add an option to remove the notification bar at the top of the screen when scrolling? Basically full screen when scrolling.

There used to be a Reddit app that supported this but I forget which.

I'd love to be able to adjust line spacing in the body text of posts, like I'm able to do for the comments. Also, now that I'm writing this, I'm noticing that it would be nice to have that in this reply composition screen too. But maybe I just haven't found that one?

Sync doesn't seem to format post titles which have links, which breaks the titles of posts made from mastodon ( since the hashtags are in the title).

Lemmy post

Just added support for this ^

@ljdawson@lemmy.world hi! Late to the party, but could you fix spoilers to align them with Lemmy's format?

2 old features I liked from the reddit version. Probably going to be quite low priority versus some other things, but they're the missing things I'm noticing most.

  1. The little "next / previous comment" arrows. Worked very well for skipping comment chains when you're already a bit into them.

  2. The little "+#" count next to the total comments to show how many new comments have popped up in a post. Combined with the unread comment dot it made keeping track of new comments on a thread I liked nice.

A setting to hide posts that I have voted on. I miss this from Reddit.

It seems like a lot of images and gifs on Lemmy are hosted on catbox.moe and exactly zero of them ever load. Any chance of adding support?

I think that getting support for 0.19 working is a bit important now, since many smaller instances seem to be taking the plunge and upgrading to the beta, so being able to login and support lemmy instances with the new auth protocols is very important.

Being able to rotate or mirror an image.

[โ€“] pbsds@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I miss the navigation buttons I had on RIF. Each comment had a next and previous button which would jump the focus to the next or previous comment. Replies had a go-to-parent button

[โ€“] pbsds@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also, posts like this look kinda silly

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 2 points 2 years ago

Do you mean the 2-column look? Mine doesn't look the same, so I'm sure there's a setting for that - I'm just not sure where it is atm...

How feasible would it be to create toggle-able filters. e.g. I could toggle a sports team community when I haven't seen the result of a game.

[โ€“] sfgifz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It would be super helpful if we can hide entire instances from showing up at an individual level. For e.g. I see a lot of posts from feddit.de - I don't have anything bad against the server or the users, but the posts there add no value to my experience and fill up my feed with content I'll simply not understand. It would be a better UX to be able to hide these without having the home instance and other users on it be affected by your preference.

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 2 points 2 years ago

Is this what you're talking about?

Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters

(Looked like someone else told you another way to get the same effect, but this way you can input any you know of without having to wait to see the posts. Maybe?)

Thank you for this amazing app! I'd like to be able to download images to my Downloads folder. I'm on Android 12 and currently I cannot select it. It shouldn't be an issue since newer Android versions don't even require write permissions for that.

[โ€“] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Any progress on WebM support? Not sure about other instances, but mine converts GIFs to WebM by default when I upload from Sync. But posts with WebM just act like still images in Sync, and tapping on them just leads to a button to open the WebM in a browser.

[โ€“] Moreless@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A little icon on top of thumbnails to show the image:

  1. Is a pic

  2. Is a gif

  3. Is video

  4. Redirects to a website

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, have an incorrect setting, or if this is expected behavior, but the thing that's been driving me nuts is when I go to share a link it always copies the source of the post for the lemmy link.

If, for example, I'm browsing on lemmy.ml and I want to share a post from lemmy.world, I'd like to be able to copy the lemmy.ml version of the lemmy.world post.

It doesn't make as much sense with public instances, but when you're using a private instance and you want to share with friends and family it can be kind of a hassle to retrieve the URL for said private instance.

User mentions doesn't appear to be working for me.

Someone mentioned me a couple of days ago and it never came through. Could it be an instance thing?

I am still not able to see media from "files.catbox.moe"
