These threads used to be really useful back on Reddit.

I'm currently finishing off full app translations for the next release along with lots of the usual bug fixes.

What should I prioritise next?

Cheers, Lj

A little icon on top of thumbnails to show the image:

  1. Is a pic

  2. Is a gif

  3. Is video

  4. Redirects to a website

If no content found on default sort, automatically fail over to a second sort selected by the user.

I.e add a toggle that allows "if default is top 12hrs but no content found, load content from new."

**Feature request: **

View upvote and downvote count in addition to or instead of score

I love the post preview feature when sharing posts online or with friends.

I think something that would be beneficial to Lemmy (and hence Sync) would be if the entire community name (such as !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world) be displayed in the preview.

A rough MS Paint example:

I'd love these things:

  1. Be able to mark text and wrap with `...`, back ticks, for code formatting.
  2. Mark comment replies as unread.

I love long pressing an image to view and sliding my finger down to the options at the bottom to copy, view in browser, etc. Would be nice if download was one of those quick actions.

[โ€“] opponent019@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I have no idea how this works so hopefully this isn't too wild but it would be neat to be able to use the app with kbin (a kbin account from a kbin instance, not just look at kbin content is what I mean)

Edit: nvm i see someone else already suggested it and you responded, should've checked first

[โ€“] Chozo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Do you plan on supporting logging in from Kbin instances once the API is live?

[โ€“] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd like to not have the title of an image post not be carried over when trying to share externally.

[โ€“] gabriele97@lemmy.g97.top 1 points 2 years ago

An option to have separate up/down vote buttons

[โ€“] wido@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago

I would like it if a community would remember the sorting I selected. Some communities I prefer to read sorted by newest. Others I like to read top last 12 hours.

Not sure where to submit bug reports:

This comment contaisn a link that contains two @ symbols. Sync inserts a link with the assumption that the two @ signify a Lemmy username.

Small thing but I'd love some metadata about the comment or post when I'm replying. Things like the time it was posted, username and maybe even subreddit with the instance. The full thread for nested comments would maybe be nice but maybe the ui for scrolling through that would be messy.

[โ€“] Spacebar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd like a way to block " X " posts. The filters seem to strip leading and trailing spaces from the keywords.

Some pages don't have overscroll rubberbanding.

[โ€“] dirtbiker509@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

My lemmy instance doesn't allow uploading of images at all. It would be awesome to have a setting that would change the add image function from uploading and image, to providing text boxes for alt text and link instead and have it automatically add the syntax to embed the image in the comment:

![alt text](image url)

Option to disable long-press to hide comment.

I have never had a desire to hide a comment and I do it constantly unintentionally.

[โ€“] cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

I know it's a little one but please fix the spacing of the notification when hiding posts:

I have four suggestions that I didn't mention in our previous talk:

1._ Swipe to upvote/downvote the main post in the comment section.

2._ Subscribed mark/icon for communities in the feeds or the new instances view to quickly know if we are already subscribed to such communities.

3._ In the Explore section the subbed users count only show up in unsubscribed communities, it would be nice if it shows In your subscribed communities as well.

4._ Ability to browse per instances in other sections (like when we are inside a community)

[โ€“] PrimordialTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

A feature I would love to have is Auto load next page if a full page of results is filtered. With some communities getting fed content by posting bots that load a chunk of posts all at once, I often hit instances while browsing /all where multiple pages will be empty due to filters. It would be great if the app just loaded the next page automatically in these instances instead of having to manually load the next page.

[โ€“] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

This isn't really a feature suggestion, but rather a quality of life improvement.

Lately I've been getting a lot of messages saying "All posts hidden on page ### - RETRY" due to having to have so many filters on Lemmy to hide whole communities.

Just this morning I had to hit retry about 6-7 times in a row because there were 6-7 pages on posts completely filtered out..

Had the same issue on sync for reddit but it wasn't as noticeable since filters weren't required as much. On Lemmy it's a staple and kind of annoying once you have a fair bit of communities filtered out.

[โ€“] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have an issue and not sure where to send it. I think "some" post makes Sync crash.

https://mega.nz/file/eBwmCS7L#SR7JURqVQVkgim4QhtqkFcPlKpvJYN8mh9J5K5p87eM

I hid about 5 posts and now there are no posts and the app doesn't crash and doesn't load new posts.

Maybe I need to relogin...

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've submitted a fix to Google for this.

[โ€“] drislands@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd like to see the "read text aloud" feature extended to the body of posts.

[โ€“] sfgifz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I can only find an option to block the community, not the instance. Blocking|hiding communities individually is tedious when you're trying to personalize your feed

Sometimes images don't allow me to resize them. Closing and reopening the image fixes it, but I don't know what causes it initially. More a minor annoyance than anything, but I still wanted to bring attention to it since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

[โ€“] punseye@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

comment custom indentation and padding

Eternity for Lemmy implemented this and it's been really handy for small instance users to funnel traffic through our instances.
