Hi, right now ultra users can either add a new user tag or remove it. Can you please make it editable too? @[email protected]
Not sure if you know this already, but spoilers made by people using the website version don't load properly.
The markdown for spoilers can be found here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html

Hmm that's weird, that one worked. But if I try viewing this post https://sopuli.xyz/post/10635149, the spoilers are a mess.
My experience exactly when I tried mentioning the spoiler problem (there's a markdown-specific post here if you wanted to add anything else, btw)
I think there are 3 ways of marking spoilers and Sync only recognizes 1 of them or something. Even on this community's about section there's a spoiler that doesn't work in the app.

the spoilers are a mess.
Yup. They are (for now)!
Sync actually makes one up based off reddit. Click the markdown button presently and your spoiler won't work on the website. This is being reworked though.
!see!<
Is the free version showing ads ??
Yes, it does show ads. It does that. (The same way a lot of apps handle free-tier.)
There are other Lemmy apps out there that don't show ads, but I think Sync is the most polished of the bunch.
In the play store description I noticed you refer to "subs" but they're called "communities" here.
Cheers I'll change that.
Hey, think you could tinker with the "Glide Failed to Grab This Image" bug? It's happening more and more now, and it even happens to images I post.
While you're at it this setting should probably say "Body" or maybe "post body" instead of "selftext".
Settings shortcut: View type > Show selftext previews
Edit: oh, found it in a couple other spots
Settings shortcut: Post options > Long press selftext to select text
It's been "selftext" since day 1 on reddit iirc. This should stay the way it is. It's part of Sync's identity imo.
When i noticed, back then, i found it funny. Idk if it's intentional or a forgotten placeholder that survived.
At a certain point Lemmy and Sync are going to find users that weren't redditors and I could see it causing some confusion. It's minor though. Bothers me less than "subs" for sure.
Great. You've been killing it lately, thank you.
Much preferred the old inbox. If I get 5 replies to a comment I dont need to see the post title above all of them (I dont really want to see it above any of them.) I clicked the "show post titles in replies" option in the messaging options section to off but it made no difference.
I'm wondering that also. The extra functionality is nice but it's going to take some getting used to. I'll adjust though
Any plans on emoji pickers for instances with custom emojis?
Custom emojis also currently render much larger than they should.
Question - I notice that the little nav bar dot with a number to indicate new replies or messages is now showing in dark grey rather than orange. I had a look in settings, but I can't see a way to choose the colour for that. Anyone know of a way?
Normally appears here when there's a new reply:
In case it's useful...

Is your theme base colour grey?
It is, yeah - I guess that's the setting for the notification. Thanks very much :-)
The new default inbox view is pretty unreadable, at least for me. The entire screen is filled by like 1.5 replies, there's tons of dead space. Is there any way to change the view options of the inbox? I can't seem to find any.
Not currently. What would you like?
Overall, I prefer the old version. Sometimes I need to be reminded of the context of a reply, I can just tap the reply. Other times it's obvious from the message itself.
Right now the post title font is larger then the reply font. It should be the other way around. The reply should be the most obvious thing, and the ancillary stuff should be small and compact. But including the title at all should be optional, as well as the icons.
I personally don't want to see user avatars or community icons or even the post title, really. I also don't need it to have a cute speech bubble. The reply should use the full width to save vertical space.
There's a lot of wasted space for one line replies. And longer replies end up being taller than need be because of the indent. And seeing the same post title over and over is oddly bothersome.
Currently, whenever there has been a new reply, the inbox defaults to (and then remains at) "all unread".
I like having it on "all" and would like for it to remain there.
Could this be an option? For messages to remain at whatever tab they were last set to and stay there when there are new messages.
- An option to hide the buttons below each reply unless you short / long press the comment, similar to how the normal comment section currently works. That would compress the space each reply takes by quite a bit.
- An option to replace the post title with the context of the reply, what comment was the reply posted to? The post title is very frequently irrelevant to the actual discussion taking place.
- Have the same swipe options apply to replies as to comments. E.g. upvotes, downvotes, etc.
Granted, I'm not a UI expert, so this is my personal feedback.
Edit to add: This is not to say I hate the changes, love the recent progress on the app :)
Great work, thank you. I'm wondering if you've put any more thought into displaying downvotes on comments? Now that post editing is fixed that's basically the only thing I keep going back to the PWA for.
Love the update! Thank you, Mr. LJ!
Sadly though, I just got my first reply notification (yay!) โฆ and the inbox notification badge that tells me I have 1 new only shows up on the bottom nav bar and not in my left drawer or more actions inboxes..
I can screenshot them if you need me to.
Which action boxes?
Adding it to the drawer is on my todo
Using the "More Actions" menu via the three-dots button at the top of my Subscribed feed, this is my view:
In the lower left of that menu is my Inbox icon, with no "new messages" badge. (I admit I don't know all the right words) In the dimmed bg you can see my Bottom Nav bar, with a badge on it.
(Cropped view of the 2 inbox icons)
You're the best LD!

I cannot open the inbox. I get "Error opening page".

For all sections?
Yes.
Any chance you could try a different account?
I tried. My main one cannot access the inbox, others can. Any ideas?
So just to check if you open say username mentions or direct messages that doesn't work either?
Those work. I only get an error for All and All unread. The others, when empty, respond properly with "No messages returned".
Ok well that's something lol.
Am I able to register an account on that instance? It wasn't lowering for me.
I think so, it should be open for everyone.
Weird, it works in another account ๐
