Anyone else gotten the below error or have any ideas?

Error saving media Unknown error when copying file

Jusy switched over from sync and its a remarkablelg better experience. Highly recommend

A while ago, Sync contained a bug wherein swiping a post closed would display only a black background until the post closed fully, after which the feed would display as normal.

The behavior stopped for me when upgrading to Android 14/One UI 6.1, but is now recurring for me again on Android 15/One UI 7.0.

View type: List    

Device: p3q    
Model: samsung SM-G998U

it says on the bottom "X posts hidden" but they are still in my feed

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it didn't fix it I don't even know what to start with to troubleshoot the problem... help appreciated

I'm reading many people complaining about the app being abandoned, not being updated for a long time.

Have you tried contacting the developer with your issues?

They last replied to a review on Google Play on 13th Jan 2025. Someone else also mentioned that they received a response via DM. So the developer is definitely still alive.

The app is free to use. It's great if you chose to support the developer by paying for the ad-removal or subscription. Unfortunately, I don't believe the user base is large enough to allow the developer to work on it full-time, or even part time.

Personally, I think Sync is a passion project, hence the original Reddit version was so good. The downside with passion projects is that you work on them when you have time and inspiration to work on them.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that all the negativity won't help inspire the developer to dedicate more time to the project.

It would be more helpful to compile a list of bugs and issues, and forward them to the developer.

Is there a way to set a default view everytime you switch back ti the app?

Let's say I was looking at porn and I forget to click away from it. The next time I open the app, it's front and Centre. I wouldn't mind having a setting where I could be okay with every time I switch back to the app, it reloads the home page.

Maybe it only comes on after a period of inactivity?

Sync for Lemmy could be one of the apps that's left behind once Lemmy reaches 1.0.0 🥺

The app doesn't recognize if i opened a post anymore or mark it as read. I can't filter out read posts.

The rebellion, Sync, is dying.

Maybe it didn't sell enough. And maybe you're making more money elsewhere.

That's cool. We, well, I understand. you're not in this because you hate free time, you're in this to make money. I get it.

But if that's the case, let us know, so we can mourn the death of sync and select another client.

Why am I paying for a subscription for an app that hasn't been updated in a year? When are we going to get an update?

I would love the ability to swipe left to downvote. Right to upvote or vice versa. Long swipes on each side would be a major bonus as well.

I haven't been able to see upvote counts since the latest update, and I saw a few other people mention the same issue. Is this on the radar to be fixed?

The latest version of Sync for Lemmy (released March 2024) has a bug where attempts to report Private Messages create reports for random comments instead - it creates a report for whatever comment has the same database ID as the private message you're trying to report (which on most instances will be a very old comment, since there are many more comments than private messages).

So: if you're using Sync for Lemmy, unless/until there is a new release of it, please refrain from reporting PMs while using it, to avoid filling instance admins' report queues with spurious reports.

There has been a bit of PM spam lately; please do report PM spam using other clients, so that admins can ban those accounts asap.

If you're interested in trying other Lemmy apps which hopefully get updates more frequently, there is a list of them here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/

I just looked at my recently updated apps in the Play Store and Sync for Lemmy is showing as having been updated 5 days ago. There's nothing listed under What's New, though. Is anyone else seeing this?

I was forced to get a new phone when my last one recently died, and I'm unable to restore my Sync Ultra subscription. I checked the Google play store and it's active until August, but when I try to restore purchases on both of the accounts I use, Sync tells me that it can't find the purchase. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried reaching out to the dev.

Let's face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It's no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there's no indication the dev is still active.

Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn't change as much.

Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They'll possibly buy this app before noticing that it's subtly broken.

Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don't fall into the same trap.

Hey guys, just like the title says, I'm trying to reset my password but I can't find any fucking info on it. I forgot my password. There's no link to reset your password. There's no nothing on it. Sooooooo how do you do it?? I got to do food so I'm trying to log in on my new phone but obviously you don't ever remember your passwords. Every fucking account you make so I need to reset my password so you guys see my dilemma.

It's a shame you gave up on us.
