Sync for Lemmy

Would like an "overview" when going on mine or someone else's profile so posts and comments are mixed. Saves me clicking through each and giving better context.

A rework of font sizing is something I really want to add too.

Maybe a little slider under general.

I have four suggestions that I didn't mention in our previous talk:

1._ Swipe to upvote/downvote the main post in the comment section.

2._ Subscribed mark/icon for communities in the feeds or the new instances view to quickly know if we are already subscribed to such communities.

3._ In the Explore section the subbed users count only show up in unsubscribed communities, it would be nice if it shows In your subscribed communities as well.

4._ Ability to browse per instances in other sections (like when we are inside a community)

I would love a Scroll to top button when browsing an instance, or to have an option to Subscribe without scrolling all the way to the top. I tend to visit a new instance, check out a couple pages, and then subscribe. But by then the Subscribe button is really far away.

I don't get notifications when a message is in my inbox, but I have notifications enabled.

Can we have notifications about replies/messages at least when opening the app up? (It doesn't have to poll all the time for them, but hourly polling or something can be an option).

Filtering "All" by language. I know it's a GIGO situation, but I think I'd take the win.

Unless I'm missing something, the scrub bar and other information never go away while watching a video?

Does the API let you explore an instance?

It's a small QOL suggestion, a "Previous" and "Next" comment button when traversing through comments. I used to use RIF prior to coming to Lemmy Sync and always liked being able to jump from comment to comment.

Sometimes images don't allow me to resize them. Closing and reopening the image fixes it, but I don't know what causes it initially. More a minor annoyance than anything, but I still wanted to bring attention to it since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Double dipping with the answers, but it would be awesome if we could toggle filters on and off. My list of filtered communities is enormous (40+ just for various sports teams I don't care to see on the everything feed), but if like to sometimes disable all filters just to see how the standard experience looks.

I imagine a toggle for each filter category (instance, community, users...)

I would like to be able to hide top level comments down to their username line only so that i don't see the comment but can unhide it if i want.

Just want to make sure you're aware of this: https://discuss.online/post/1294119

I cannot connect to discuss.online as a home site from Sync at the moment, though I can browse it from other home sites. It is not an issue unique to me. The admins of the instance have come to the conclusion it is a lemmy/3p client issue rather than an instance issue, and that clients it breaks now will break more completely with future lemmy rollouts.

Sometimes, when scrolling, I get "Your filters have blocked all the posts on this page" or "You have read all the posts on page 17" or whatever.

The pop-up gives either a "Next page" or a "Retry" button (IIRC). When I press it, I'm able to continue just fine.

Can there be a setting added (or something) that just auto-presses that button for me? I'm cool with just scrolling forever, and it seems a little silly that I get stopped by that prompt but pressing 1 little button fixes it.

Does the floating navigation bar exist on the Lemmy app? I feel like I had it at one point but I could be mistaken. I love being able to just from parent to parent comment on some threads.

There are two horribly synergistic bugs on my favorite NSFW instance, lemmynsfw(dot)com:

Sync's community filters don't work on that instance, and that instance's community blocks don't work either! They're not related, I'm sure, but when both are broken I see things I can't unsee.

I built up a huge list of community filters in the app, and then one day realized not a single one was working. Not even if I cleared the whole list and added just one filter. Refreshing didn't help. Nor did clearing the cache. At least, I think I tried that.

And, for some reason, Blocks don't work on that instance either, but only when requesting my feed through the API. Blocks do work on the website itself. But that's not your issue. That's theirs.
