Speaking of, I'm sorry to say I think this update broke opening comments on my device.
Device information
Sync version: v23.08.23-18:29 Sync flavor: googlePlay Ultra user: true View type: Compact Push enabled: false Device: heroltebmc Model: samsung SM-G930W8 Android: 8.0.0I had to revert to the previous version to send this comment because even opening the comments section on my new version makes my app crash entirely. I sent a crash report too
What android version are you using? I'm on 8 and have the same problem. A fix is on the way. How did you revert in the meantime? I'm using summit atm
Can confirm
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.
Nice, I hope the app is making enough to keep the updates coming.

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?
Sadly they have to be hard coded in
Would there be a form or a submission process to getting certain domains included? I guess opening a GitHub issue for each one?
Trying to get
To work
Disappointed that importing and exporting subscribed lists is an Ultra feature :( I can't afford ultra.
There has to be some kind of good feature locked behind to make money, you can use a different program to do this anyways.
I do understand - it's just a shame.
I made a script to transfer subscribed subreddits to lemmy: https://github.com/induna-crewneck/Reddit-Lemmy-Migrator
Thanks for the update.
Is there an option to show hidden posts on refresh?
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.
Tap on your in-use account where you go to add another account or switch between accounts. That refreshed and showed all the read/hidden posts for me.
Nice, thanks. That worked.
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!
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.
Added an option for the next release.
Kind sir, I now give upon you my money.
Woo, so many changes and fixes. Thanks for the image picker one!
Just paid for ad-free baby! Let's go.
Good god you work fast. Great stuff, thanks so much for adding the mod tools 🥰
A lot of great changes, this is awesome!
Thanks for the hard work LJ!
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.
Awesome! Is beta 34 going to be available to everyone, or only the Play beta users group?
This is a full rollout
Hell yeah these are awesome updates, THANK YOU for app mod tools, I have been waiting for somebody to do it lol. Great work man.
That being said, could you bring native playback for catbox.moe videos? It's essentially lemmy's imgur
Also redgifs opens the API link and fails downloads instead of opening the actual video
These are def nitpicks as I know the app is still in beta, thank you for all you're doing!
Awe yiss! Amazing velocity of updates, thank you!
Did the Lemmy hype die down? It sure feels like it. Still missing content.. can't leave Reddit yet.
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.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.
Yeah it's again calming down but that's OK. :)
It's definitely.... not OK tbh...

https://lemmy.world/post/3769853 Doesn't seem to work. The post linked there opens up in an internal browser

Works for me. You need to go into app settings and check the domains which you want Sync to allow to handle.
As in, you clicked the link I provided, and the link inside that link?
Thanks! Is there a way to return the solid red NSFW previews? I tried unchecking the blur setting, but everything is still blurred.
I'd like this to be returned also. What's the reason for the change? There was and still is a setting to blur previews. This just takes away a feature.
Posting on 34!
Thanks for fixing the image picker issue, very much appreciated
I feel like this version is slower to read comments since it seems to load all of them and then scrolls to the right comment.
I think before it was showing the comments right away but there was a button to load the parent comment.
I went from beta 29 to this one though.
Changed the behaviour for the next release.
Do spoiler tags only work if they're using >! and !<
!Because the ones I've seen that use the other method haven't been covered like spoilers!<
(Wasn't quite ready to post)

spoiler body
Can we have an option on NSFW blur vs fully red?
