Only time I Reddit now is when the lemmy.world servers are down ๐
For this case I simply made a second account @lemmy.ml
Same, and with patched Sync for Reddit LMAO.

So happy to have this app back, I'm already subscribed to Ultra!
Here's a test reply from Sync! (โ๏พใฎ๏พ)โ

Miles ahead of any Lemmy app so far.
Yup... bought the remove ads feature as soon as it showed up to support the dev. I imagine losing the revenue stream from reddit was pretty impactful.
Yeah I'm really liking it but have only tested a short time now.

God I missed Peeking ! No other app was doing it at the moment.
I missed automatic AMP removal from links. Man, Sync is the best
What is peeking on Sync ?I'm a Boost former user so I haven't used Sync.
Pressing and holding on a picture in the feed and it expanding. Very useful if you use compact view or don't have full height cards enabled.
You can do that??
This changes everything
It really does change everything. Best feature out there.
Hello from the Sync for Lemmy app!
First reply from Sync!!
My Lemmy.world account is crashing it, seems to be working fine with my fresh new FMHY one.
All my accounts crash the second I try to change something in options after the account is setup.

My lemm.ee account crashes it too with a LOT of subscriptions. My other account with zero subscriptions doesn't. I think if you have too many subscriptions it's a problem.
Yes I think that is, I just migrated my communities from lemmy.world to lemm.ee and it crashes right away.
You just proved my suspicion!
I made the compromise to use Sync with an "empty" account for now and I'm sure these kind of things will be ironed out in a couple of days/weeks. It's a very complicated piece of software, so sometimes things do be like that.
Cheers, my friend!
Interesting... I have zero subs on my lemm.ee account and haven't seen any problems with it yet... Quite a few on my lemmy.world account but I think most of the problems I've seen there have nothing to do with subs.
It's bloody marvelous
I'm actually having an issue where hidden posts keep unhiding themselves, but it isn't obvious what's triggering the bug quite yet.
Unfortunately hide isn't native to Lemmy yet, you need to mark as read first so it doesn't come back. Also might require you to uncheck show read in your Lemmy settings

I have no idea how I survived the last 2 months without this, but my god is it beautiful to have you back, my beloved sync <3
Mine's still stuck on pending
I cancelled the auto install and just did it manually and worked fine.

Yes, definitely awesome. I'm getting a lot of Error 403, though. I'm sure it will stabilize. Really missed Sync.
Lemmy.world is being DDoSed, for the time being you can try a different instance
There seems to be a lot of that. Thanks for the heads-up.

This would be a great time to hop to a new Lemmy instance
Weird issue I have is that links in text are like a way bigger size then the rest of the text for some reason.
Maybe this?
Shortcut for anyone who wants to disable it:
That is amazing, I never knew that was a feature.
It's just one of those tiny quality of life features. I've been using sync for years and I'm constantly discovering new features haha.

I just want to say that I absolutely love being able to see the thumbnail picture enlarged by long clicking it again. I used Jerboa up until now, but it's absolutely great to have all those familiar gestures back.
Mebbe I'm just an idiot, but can't log in for my kbin.social account? Not in Thunder either.
/KBin isn't Lemmy and doesn't have a completed API yet (currently pending review), so apps are basically non existent for it.
Artemis is in the works using the in development API on their own instance and I think the scraping is still there as a fallback from what I've been reading, but that app is still in private beta while it's being worked on.
Even once the API is complete, there's no guarantee that Lemmy apps will support /KBin since presumably they're Lemmy users not /KBin ones. I believe the dev of Artemis, is planning to open source a translation layer though to make things easier for everyone so they don't have to re-do all the work she did.
