Posting is finally here!
I’ll be continuing to work on all open issues over the next few weeks:

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

Love it! If only there was enough lemmy content so I could leave Reddit.
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.
It was kind of a pain having to switch out to post so it’s definitely nice to see this coming along.
That’ll only get better with time, unfortunately.
Aaaaand now I can delete all of the other Lemmy apps. Thanks!
You shouldn’t have post this, all the FOSS folks are gonna be mad.
No. They’ll be righteously smug as they try to keep up.
Didn’t you know, LJ shouldn’t get paid for his work. FOSS is better in every way./s
Foss advocates aren’t saying he shouldn’t be paid, just that they would like the app to be open source.
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.
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.)
It’s supposed to be free as in freedom, not free beer. I guess some people forgot about that.
“ You can now post! “
The day when Lemmy Exploded !!!
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.
I’m still having this issue when sorting comments by Top :(
✨✨new photo picker✨✨
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?
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
You also lose the ability to use apps like scrambled exif 😢
Lemmy strips all exif information by default when posting, so there’s no need for a scrambler to begin with.
Good to know. But still it’s cumbersome not being able to chose from specific folders/apps
Yeah, plus one for this, the new picker is so limited compared to how it was before. Would 100% vote for a reversion.
Added for the next release.
Nice, thanks!
I completely disagree with this, but that’s probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.
Wait till this man finds out what digital photos are stored as
I do too. Are you sure you’re responding to the right person? Because you’re not making a lick of sense.

Oh this is very nice. Thank you for your continued hard 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.
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.
The version on the play store is from 8-3. 😪
Give it a few hours to clear review
Thank you so much! Will be eagerly checking the Play store for the update.
Live now
Will do. Excited to give it a test drive.
Live now
Yup
Thank you!
At that point we would be able to hop in the beta on the play store right ?
Yup
Hi ljdawson, the play store app seems to be in beta 27 still for me, is that because of my region?
Still pending approval
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 Lemmy So I guess there are still some of these issues in the latest beta because I have beta v29.
Very nice update. Now if hidden posts would stay hidden I could actually use it as my main app!
Fixed for the next beta
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.
I can’t seem to find a way to even do that on the desktop site
Very good! Nice to see the /c/ link issue fixed too.
Can you make default view to be comments+posts instead post-only in the profile page please?
Make it a option to choose, I want comments-only to be my default view.
Yes, same as setting the default for your main feed.
Sounds great, sync is really boosted my overall experience in Lemmy, it’s really fun to use. Great work.
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? I think it’s specifically when the image is a link preview.
Again thank you so much and either way this app is amazing. I so appreciate the work you’ve done to make this happen ❤️
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.
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
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.
omg!!! Thank you! I didn’t realize a swipe was multiple things. I just have to finesse lmao. I am so perfectly happy rn
Nice!! Ive been using Sync for 10+ years and realized almost always whatever feature I wish was there had an existing setting already 😁
