ljdawson, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

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!

How do I get access to the beta? I feel like I should know but I don’t and can’t figure it out.

ljdawson, 10 months ago

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.

BallShapedMan, 10 months ago

Thank you!

Philo, 10 months ago

The version on the play store is from 8-3. 😪

ljdawson, 10 months ago

Give it a few hours to clear review

richteratmosphere, 10 months ago

Thank you so much! Will be eagerly checking the Play store for the update.

Philo, 10 months ago

Will do. Excited to give it a test drive.

Hi ljdawson, the play store app seems to be in beta 27 still for me, is that because of my region?

ljdawson, 10 months ago

Still pending approval

MakeItCount, 10 months ago

At that point we would be able to hop in the beta on the play store right ?

ljdawson, 10 months ago

Yup

I’m also confused; my version from the Play Store is v23. Edit: Oops I guess some broken comment hierarchy is still present in my build cause I couldn’t see all the replies from Sync. Edit 2: Ok so the beta version isn’t the same as app version, you can see beta version in parentheses here Settings shortcut: Everything else > Sync for LemmySo I guess there are still some of these issues in the latest beta because I have beta v29.

New

• You can now post!
• The upload image dialog has been replaced with a bottom sheet
• The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker

Too much amazing!

Awesome work as always!

Polar, 10 months ago

Aaaaand now I can delete all of the other Lemmy apps. Thanks!

kratoz29, 10 months ago

You shouldn’t have post this, all the FOSS folks are gonna be mad.

McNasty, 10 months ago

No. They’ll be righteously smug as they try to keep up.

Prethoryn, 10 months ago

Didn’t you know, LJ shouldn’t get paid for his work. FOSS is better in every way./s

twotone, 10 months ago

Foss advocates aren’t saying he shouldn’t be paid, just that they would like the app to be open source.

Prethoryn, 10 months ago

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.

APassenger, 10 months ago

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.)

Azgrel, 10 months ago

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

Drinvictus, 10 months ago

✨✨new photo picker✨✨

kratoz29, 10 months ago

Sync for Lemmy and Voyager are my main Lemmy clients now, I’m glad Sync is getting better.

“ You can now post! “

The day when Lemmy Exploded !!!

Madbrad200, 10 months ago

Very good! Nice to see the /c/ link issue fixed too.

mindlight, 10 months ago

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.

wason, 10 months ago

I’m still having this issue when sorting comments by Top :(

GiddyGap, 10 months ago

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.

ljdawson, 10 months ago

I can’t seem to find a way to even do that on the desktop site

lolreconlol, 10 months ago

Love it! If only there was enough lemmy content so I could leave Reddit.

ConditionOverload, 10 months ago

That’ll only get better with time, unfortunately.

ProvableGecko, 10 months ago

Eh, there’s more than enough content for mindless scrolling. Good enough for me

Cabeza2000, 10 months ago

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

scottywh, 10 months ago

It was kind of a pain having to switch out to post so it’s definitely nice to see this coming along.

The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker

Oh this is very nice. Thank you for your continued hard work!

Very nice!

NickCudawn, 10 months ago

Very nice update. Now if hidden posts would stay hidden I could actually use it as my main app!

ljdawson, 10 months ago

Fixed for the next beta
