Posting is finally here!

I’ll be continuing to work on all open issues over the next few weeks:

github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues

And I’ll be applying regional pricing to ultra soon.

Cheers!

amazing! Thank you very much for your work :)

How do I get access to the beta? I feel like I should know but I don’t and can’t figure it out.
Show threadLjdawson (Sync dev)Aug 12, 2023
The main version on the app store is the beta right now but with submitting finally in I guess it might be time to graduate out of beta.

Thank you!

Hi ljdawson, the play store app seems to be in beta 27 still for me, is that because of my region?
Show threadLjdawson (Sync dev)Aug 13, 2023
Still pending approval
Show threadMakeItCountAug 13, 2023
At that point we would be able to hop in the beta on the play store right ?
Show threadLjdawson (Sync dev)Aug 13, 2023
Yup
Show threadtrixter313Aug 13, 2023
I’m also confused; my version from the Play Store is v23.

You shouldn’t have post this, all the FOSS folks are gonna be mad.
Show threadMcNastyAug 13, 2023
No. They’ll be righteously smug.
Show threadPrethoryn OvermindAug 13, 2023
Didn’t you know, LJ shouldn’t get paid for his work. FOSS is better in every way./s
Show threadTwoAug 13, 2023
Foss advocates aren’t saying he shouldn’t be paid, just that they would like the app to be open source.
Show threadPrethoryn OvermindAug 13, 2023
Yeah, you haven’t been reading all the comments talking about how it’s a problem that it requires people to pay for the app then.
Show threadAPassengerAug 13, 2023

The F in FOSS is free, and many are very sure Sync shouldn’t cost, shouldn’t have ads, and any money going to Sync is stolen from Lemmy and its instances.

It’s not the majority. But it’s a very vocal subset (who gathered enough upvotes it looked… like consensus.)

Show threadAzgrelAug 13, 2023
It’s supposed to be free as in freedom, not free beer. I guess some people forgot about that.

Broken comment hierarchy in comments under View more #93

Yesssss! I didn’t find this one the first time I read about the update and was kinda worried it was something wrong on my end.

Show threadwasonAug 13, 2023
I’m still having this issue when sorting comments by Top :(
Show threadGiddyGapAug 13, 2023

Awesome. Love your app, LJ. Use it every day. And great to have posting back.

I’d love to see an option to exclude responses to a post from going to the inbox like in the reddit app. If a post gets popular, the inbox fills up real quick.

Thanks again.

Show threadLjdawson (Sync dev)Aug 13, 2023
I can’t seem to find a way to even do that on the desktop site
Show threadlolreconlolAug 13, 2023
Love it! If only there was enough lemmy content so I could leave Reddit.
Show threadConditionOverloadAug 13, 2023
That’ll only get better with time, unfortunately.
Show threadProvableGeckoAug 13, 2023
Eh, there’s more than enough content for mindless scrolling. Good enough for me

Now that Sync users can post we will get more content.

Fixed for the next beta
Show threadUESPA_SputnikAug 13, 2023

Sweet. Thank you!.

Are there plans to give the “comment reply” window a similar visual overhaul to the “create post” window?

Show threadLjdawson (Sync dev)Aug 13, 2023
I was thinking about that. Do you prefer the new one?
Show threadUESPA_SputnikAug 13, 2023

Yes, it looks nice.

One thing that always irked me a bit about the old “comment reply” window is that it has a fixed division of the comment you’re replying to, and your own reply. Maybe a toggle would be nice? (and it would also be nice if that top window would also show the text from self-posts when I’m writing a top-level comment; that way we would be able to copy/quote from the selftext. IIRC on reddit it only worked when I was replying to a comment)

Thanks for your work! Using Sync here feels like coming home.

Show threadWigglingWalrusAug 13, 2023
Is there a post right handed mode for upvote/downvote?
Show threadMrGerritAug 14, 2023

Do you mean this?:

Settings shortcut: View type > Right aligned voting

Show threadWigglingWalrusAug 14, 2023
That’s just on comments I think as I’ve got that enabled. I’m more looking for posts
Show threadMrGerritAug 14, 2023
Weird because when I enable it, I get it on the right for posts and comments
Show threadWigglingWalrusAug 14, 2023
You’re right, I’m half asleep. Thanks!

No problem mate, we’re here to help each other.
Show threadSnoopyGirl09Aug 13, 2023

First, thank you so much for this app. I’ve tried so many and this one was a no brainier, especially since it is so incredibly customizable. The major feature I’ve been waiting for is multi column views (I can never go back lol)

I have a couple requests: Is it possible to add voting without opening the post?

This is the only RIF screenshot I have lol but you can see what I mean in the bottom right.

Second, some posts get kind of wonky when there’s a title and image so it gets very long:

Any way to make the post on the right look like the one on the left?

Again thank you so much and either way this app is amazing. I so appreciate the work you’ve done to make this happen ❤️

Show threadisdfoaAug 13, 2023
Not sure about the layout you’re using, but with cards layout there are swipe gestures to up vote/down vote without opening the posts.
Show threadSnoopyGirl09Aug 13, 2023
I’m using a 2 column layout and swiping hides the post. I don’t see a setting to customize gestures but I’ll look again, I didn’t even think of that
Show threadisdfoaAug 14, 2023
On cards view, there is settings for “partial slide” where it goes from up vote, then down vote, and then hide post with full slide if that makes sense depending on how far I swipe.
Show threadSnoopyGirl09Aug 14, 2023
omg!!! Thank you! I didn’t realize a swipe was multiple things. I just have to finesse lmao. I am so perfectly happy rn
Show threadisdfoaAug 15, 2023
Nice!! Ive been using Sync for 10+ years and realized almost always whatever feature I wish was there had an existing setting already 😁
