v122 adds support for a super secret upcoming new feature…
This is exactly the reason, after using Sync for YEARS on reddit, I paid for Sync on Lemmy the minute it was available.
This is absolutely the best application for browsing this type of forum. I get why some other folks prefer FOSS/Free/Non-ad based apps, but I have no qualms about shelling out the cash for a really well designed app that I use just about daily.

Yeah its not even close. Lj, you are an extremely skilled developer. Thanks for making such a good app
Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek
This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌
Sync apps have been my go-to for 10 years. Here’s to 10 more 🍻
🍻
Holy shit. This looks like an epic update!
Sync is actually just the best.
In the play store description I noticed you refer to “subs” but they’re called “communities” here.
Cheers I’ll change that.
Great. You’ve been killing it lately, thank you.
While you’re at it this setting should probably say “Body” or maybe “post body” instead of “selftext”.
Settings shortcut: View type > Show selftext previews
Edit: oh, found it in a couple other spots
Settings shortcut: Post options > Long press selftext to select text
It’s been “selftext” since day 1 on reddit iirc. This should stay the way it is. It’s part of Sync’s identity imo.
When i noticed, back then, i found it funny. Idk if it’s intentional or a forgotten placeholder that survived.
At a certain point Lemmy and Sync are going to find users that weren’t redditors and I could see it causing some confusion. It’s minor though. Bothers me less than “subs” for sure.
You’re the best LD!
♥️
Excellent work boss, as always 👍🏻
Edit: Wow the messaging section is looking good, Sync for Reddit never looked that nice!
Common LJ W. Happy lifetime Ultra supporter.
Superb! Thank you for the hard work!
Thank you so much for the continued updates!
Something about the fixes for usernames not showing up appears to have undone the fix for #122. I can see my username in plaintext for the current account even though I have hidden the display names.
This is awesome, nice work!
Hope push notifications are next! (yes, I’m on Ultra)
Notifications! Yes! Thank you.
(Can someone please reply to this, so that I can test if they work for me? Thanks. 🙂)
Hello, friend
Thanks. It doesn’t seem to work though. I’ve set it to check for messages every 10 minutes but I get no notification. (The app was closed during that time) 🤔
Does anyone have the some problem? I’m on Android 14 on a Pixel 7 Pro.
Able to reproduce this. Seems like setting anything under 15 mins causes an issue. Will patch today.
Doesn’t work with a setting > 15 minutes for me either. I currently have it set at 30 minutes and didn’t receive a notification about your reply.
Thanks for looking into it!
Can you reply to this to test please.
Here’s a test reply.
Seems to be working now.
I’ve pushed the update through. Hopefully should be live in the next hour or two.
Update is now available
Much preferred the old inbox. If I get 5 replies to a comment I dont need to see the post title above all of them (I dont really want to see it above any of them.) I clicked the “show post titles in replies” option in the messaging options section to off but it made no difference.
I’m wondering that also. The extra functionality is nice but it’s going to take some getting used to. I’ll adjust though
Great work, thank you. I’m wondering if you’ve put any more thought into displaying downvotes on comments? Now that post editing is fixed that’s basically the only thing I keep going back to the PWA for.
