I don't mean to sound like entitled or anything but I happily and immediately paid $20 for this app when it came out. And there were a ton of updates and now it has completely stopped. And while that worked for sybc before with Reddit. It's not acceptable here with how often Lemmy is upgrading and changing. This app is almost unusable with how many small things are beginning to get broken. Just look through this community to see everyone complaining about the various bugs and issues that are now cropping up with. Lemmy me upgrades. A month ago the developer posted about a beta that almost no one has access to and we have heard nothing since. Really don't appreciate this tbh. And I'm considering cutting my losses all together here as there are other apps that are developing way more and that i would rather support

It's also relatively tiny so a bit unreasonable to expect things to be updated daily.

I'm not really seeing any major issues anyway - what is so broken that OP is so annoyed about? Only thing im aware of is the Instances button not working, which yeah that's true. Not really a major issue though?

This was the impression I had too and I managed to fix the instance issue remotely after reports came in.

Go ahead and look at this community and all the other posts about broken issues. And look at how much more have been cropping up as lemmy gets further and farther along with being updated but sync does not

Just repeating my previous comment. Was there something in particular you were waiting for?

cheers

Another small issue is that search for communities doesnt work unless the community you search for is already loaded in the list.

Logged, will aim to fix for the next release.

While we're on the subject. When I'm submitting a post and choosing the community I almost always want to be searching instead of scrolling my list. Could it ever be an optional feature that tapping the community field automatically pulls up the search and my keyboard? Minor in the grand scheme of things of course.

Also, I'm sure you've seen but Scaled and Controversial aren't selectable sorting algorithms in the list.

Instead of tapping the search at the top?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I have a very large phone and small hands, like I said, very minor, low priority thing. Please fix up the markup first such as the superscript and adding subscript first.

Yeah the app is not broken whatsoever... It is very steady if you ask me, I'm only missing the newest sort types, for that we can use another app in the meanwhile... We have plenty and we should be glad that we have a lot of alternatives and that we don't have Spez here.

You can actually use Scaled sort on your frontpage in Sync, though it is a little finicky. If you select Scaled as your default sorting method on the webUI in a browser it will work properly when you open Sync. If you switch to another sort while using Sync you have to restart the app to get back to Scaled, though, since it doesn't appear in the list.
