Current priority #1 is to fix the remaining comment display issues.
Edit: all fixed, will be pushing live tomorrow.
Speaking of, I’m sorry to say I think this update broke opening comments on my device.
Device information
Sync version: v23.08.23-18:29 Sync flavor: googlePlay Ultra user: true View type: Compact Push enabled: false Device: heroltebmc Model: samsung SM-G930W8 Android: 8.0.0Will get that patched asap. Funnily enough that crash helped me work out why images aren’t showing in comments too on android 8.
That’s awesome. A nice two for one. Thank you.
I had to revert to the previous version to send this comment because even opening the comments section on my new version makes my app crash entirely. I sent a crash report too
What android version are you using? I’m on 8 and have the same problem. A fix is on the way. How did you revert in the meantime? I’m using summit atm
Can confirm
First round of modtools added
THANK YOU!
I’ve been wanting mod tools since I started using Lemmy a few months ago. Even this little bit is super helpful.
Nice, I hope the app is making enough to keep the updates coming.

Sync can now open lemmy links from the top 50 instances
This is appreciated.
I wish there were a way to add to the list of supported URLs as a user. Looks like that would be an Android enhancement.
Is there any mechanism in Android’s intent-handling to make this more flexible today or are we stuck for now?
Sadly they have to be hard coded in
Would there be a form or a submission process to getting certain domains included? I guess opening a GitHub issue for each one?
Trying to get
To work
That instance has 1 user per month. Going to guess that’s you?
No it’s not me. That user I believe is the admin for it. I discovered that it’s a instance for hosting 4wd communities but no user registration. So would like to use it for it’s purpose but navigating links is hard. Going to try and help build but I only use sync to access lemmy.
Thanks for the update.
Is there an option to show hidden posts on refresh?
Yeah I’d love this to be an option. I like temporarily hiding read posts to find unread content more quickly, but being able to refresh and see them again.
Tap on your in-use account where you go to add another account or switch between accounts. That refreshed and showed all the read/hidden posts for me.
Nice, thanks. That worked.
That feels like a bug. Maybe there should be a setting to chose between permanently hiding (including beyond switching accounts) and hiding until refresh. I would prefer the former and that’s how it was on Sync for Reddit, but it seems there’s an audience for the latter option
This is what I wish WOULDN’T happen. I switch instances all the time, I hate having to re-hide posts over and over. If I hide a post, please keep it hidden!
Yeahhhh. The current behavior is not how I use the hidden posts feature. It was perfect before and now it’s ruined how I use the feature.
Added an option for the next release.
Disappointed that importing and exporting subscribed lists is an Ultra feature :( I can’t afford ultra.
There has to be some kind of good feature locked behind to make money, you can use a different program to do this anyways.
I do understand - it’s just a shame.
I made a script to transfer subscribed subreddits to lemmy: https://github.com/induna-crewneck/Reddit-Lemmy-Migrator
Kind sir, I now give upon you my money.
Just paid for ad-free baby! Let’s go.
Good god you work fast. Great stuff, thanks so much for adding the mod tools 🥰
Woo, so many changes and fixes. Thanks for the image picker one!
Thanks for the hard work LJ!
A lot of great changes, this is awesome!
Awesome! Is beta 34 going to be available to everyone, or only the Play beta users group?
This is a full rollout
Hell yeah these are awesome updates, THANK YOU for app mod tools, I have been waiting for somebody to do it lol. Great work man.
That being said, could you bring native playback for catbox.moe videos? It’s essentially lemmy’s imgur
Also redgifs opens the API link and fails downloads instead of opening the actual video
These are def nitpicks as I know the app is still in beta, thank you for all you’re doing!
Awe yiss! Amazing velocity of updates, thank you!
Great Update. The improved hidden post behavior is a good step in the right direction. Another feature from Reddit Sync I’m missing is the account selector while commenting.
