    First round of modtools added

    THANK YOU!

    I’ve been wanting mod tools since I started using Lemmy a few months ago. Even this little bit is super helpful.

      It’s a chicken and egg thing I think, app makes enough to be sustainable for work to be done on updates… And work done on great updates makes more people get it so it stays sustainable…

    Sync can now open lemmy links from the top 50 instances

    This is appreciated.

    I wish there were a way to add to the list of supported URLs as a user. Looks like that would be an Android enhancement.

    Is there any mechanism in Android’s intent-handling to make this more flexible today or are we stuck for now?

            No it’s not me. That user I believe is the admin for it. I discovered that it’s a instance for hosting 4wd communities but no user registration. So would like to use it for it’s purpose but navigating links is hard. Going to try and help build but I only use sync to access lemmy.

    Disappointed that importing and exporting subscribed lists is an Ultra feature :( I can’t afford ultra.

    Thanks for the update.

    Is there an option to show hidden posts on refresh?

      Tap on your in-use account where you go to add another account or switch between accounts. That showed all the hidden posts for me

        That feels like a bug. Maybe there should be a setting to chose between permanently hiding (including beyond switching accounts) and hiding until refresh. I would prefer the former and that’s how it was on Sync for Reddit, but it seems there’s an audience for the latter option

        This is what I wish WOULDN’T happen. I switch instances all the time, I hate having to re-hide posts over and over. If I hide a post, please keep it hidden!

      Yeah I’d love this to be an option. I like temporarily hiding read posts to find unread content more quickly, but being able to refresh and see them again.

      Yeahhhh. The current behavior is not how I use the hidden posts feature. It was perfect before and now it’s ruined how I use the feature.

    Great Update. The improved hidden post behavior is a good step in the right direction. Another feature from Reddit Sync I’m missing is the account selector while commenting.

    Did the Lemmy hype die down? It sure feels like it. Still missing content… can’t leave Reddit yet.

        Same, but I’d lie if I said I’m not missing it. It’s mainly that there is almost no community even remotely as active as some of the same ones I was posting on Reddit.

      Well, when contents don’t follow people will return to the old place.
      Like Lemmy lacks sports contents, so I keep returning to Reddit for dose of sports contents.

      Last I read we lost about 10k users from the high point. But who knows how many if them were posting and commenting?

        A lot of them were probably also duplicate accounts as people found an instance that fit them

          I think it’s this. I was posting on 3 different accounts until I found one to settle in.

      A problem is also that we don’t know about some instances, lemmit.online has the content you seek. And check c/Fediverse@lemmy.world if you’d like to discover more new stuff.
