      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.

    Not sure if this is the right place to comment, but I love the recent reordering of comment buttons so Save or Post is the first button. This addresses one of my very few negative thoughts about the UI. Tabbing multiple times to get out of the editor and then hit Enter just became tabbing once. Thank you to the Lemmy team!

        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!<

    Thank you so much for the continued updates!

    Something about the fixes for usernames not showing up appears to have undone the fix for #122. I can see my username in plaintext for the current account even though I have hidden the display names.

    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

    Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek

    This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌

    I cannot open the inbox. I get “Error opening page”.
