Sync for Lemmy Beta 29 release notes

AlexanderTheGreat, 9 months ago

I keep getting Error Loading Page 400 over and over

SnipingNinja, 9 months ago

Bug report: Sharing comments creates reddit links for some reason (couldn’t find a way to report it in app)

ljdawson, 9 months ago

Fixed

Aldileon, 9 months ago

Thank you!

I am not getting notifications for messages and replies. Is there a setting, that I am missing or is this not yet implemented?

ljdawson, 9 months ago

The messaging background job isn’t hooked up yet, I was holding off as to not spam the lemmy servers at launch day with Syncs release. Will be adding push notifications hopefully soon.

Is it possible to have seperate counts for upvotes and downvotes?

ljdawson, 9 months ago

I’ve added the percentage of upvotes to downvotes for the next release.

SchizoDenji, 9 months ago

That’s a bit too complicated, no? I mean is there a reason for going with that instead of two counts?

ljdawson, 9 months ago

After it releases let me know what you think. This is a little cleaner

SchizoDenji, 9 months ago

Sure, I’ll reply to this comment

hardly_alex, 9 months ago

Can we have the vote breakdown when long pressing the vote buttons?

UsernameLost, 9 months ago

Is it possible to upload multiple images? I can upload one image in a post, but can’t embed images in the body or a comment without receiving an error (“Could not upload image.”)

ljdawson, 9 months ago

These errors come from your instance I’m afraid. Uploading too many images (even just more than 1…) can cause this.

UsernameLost, 9 months ago

Ok, thanks for the reply! I’ve been using Sync for a decade, and it is by far the best app I’ve used. Thanks for all your work porting it over to Lemmy!

GTian, 9 months ago

Is it possible to change the default feed settings from active? I want to change it to hot or new.

Loewi_CW, 9 months ago

Yep you can do that here: Settings shortcut: Post options > Default post sort

sanguinepar, 9 months ago

Is there a way to give the new photopicker access to more folders? I can only see three (Camera, Screenshots and Downloads) but I have multiple other folders (from editing apps, screenshots, downloads from Twitter etc), that I now can’t access from Sync.

ljdawson, 9 months ago

Added an alternative source for selecting images for the next beta.

sanguinepar, 9 months ago

Legend, thank you :-)

cephus, 9 months ago

Probably wrong place to request or mention this but special character like + should be allowed in username field, as it’s valid for emails.

ljdawson, 9 months ago

Fixed for the next release

cephus, 9 months ago

Awesome, thanks!

ouzkse, 9 months ago

Sounds great, sync is really boosted my overall experience in Lemmy, it’s really fun to use. Great work.

biscuit, 9 months ago

Viewed posts still don’t hide when you refresh :(

ljdawson, 9 months ago

Fixed for the next beta

mrjfilippo, 9 months ago

Awesome work! Anyway to include release notes with the update on the play store? I’m a sucker for those!

ljdawson, 9 months ago

I should add that back actually

Ejh3k, 9 months ago

Weird thing that I noticed making my first post, keyboard was keyboard only. Didn’t have an option suggestions and didn’t have any autocorrect. Only time I’ve encountered that issue with this keyboard that I’ve been using probably as long as sync for reddit. Which was a while.

NickCudawn, 9 months ago

Same, but only in the Title field. For the rest I’m getting full keyboard functionality.

Fixed for the next release.

Ejh3k, 9 months ago

Dope! Thanks!

xxy, 9 months ago

Testing something, brb!

Zeroxxx, 9 months ago

Can you make default view to be comments+posts instead post-only in the profile page please?

MrGerrit, 9 months ago

Make it a option to choose, I want comments-only to be my default view.

NickCudawn, 9 months ago

Yes, same as setting the default for your main feed.

sarsaparilyptus, 9 months ago

The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker

The fancy new photo picker is a significant downgrade. It can’t search file names, it doesn’t work with microSD cards, and it’s painfully slow. Can we get an option to select images with an external gallery app?

skeh, 9 months ago

You also lose the ability to use apps like scrambled exif 😢

viking, 9 months ago

Lemmy strips all exif information by default when posting, so there’s no need for a scrambler to begin with.

NickCudawn, 9 months ago

Good to know. But still it’s cumbersome not being able to chose from specific folders/apps

sanguinepar, 9 months ago

Yeah, plus one for this, the new picker is so limited compared to how it was before. Would 100% vote for a reversion.

CharAhNalaar, 9 months ago

I completely disagree with this, but that’s probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.

yumpoopsoup, 9 months ago

Wait till this man finds out what digital photos are stored as

sarsaparilyptus, 9 months ago

I do too. Are you sure you’re responding to the right person? Because you’re not making a lick of sense.

NickCudawn, 9 months ago

I don’t know how it looked pre-update but the image picker from Sync for Reddit was absolutely more functional and still not ugly

ljdawson, 9 months ago

Added for the next release.

sarsaparilyptus, 9 months ago

Nice, thanks!
