These threads used to be really useful back on Reddit.
I’m currently finishing off full app translations for the next release along with lots of the usual bug fixes.
What should I prioritise next?
Cheers, Lj
A few features I would love to see:
-
A way to view groups of multiple communities in a single feed. Like a multicommunity. A workaround right now is to have multiple accounts, which is less than ideal.
-
A way to view content from multiple accounts in a single feed. Like a universal feed.
-
An easier way to have the same settings apply to multiple accounts.
-
A way to block instances or communities.
Regarding #3: a way to copy/synchronize subscriptions between accounts.
I use a main account and a backup account on another instance in case the main instance is down, so I want those to have the same subscriptions. Manually synching them would be fine (maybe with options like copy everything, mirror the subscriptions, make sure B does not contain the same as A, etc.).
You can filter instances and communities. For clarity, you mean blocking all users from those instances from your feed/comments? Do you also mean blocking all users from a community from showing up? If so that seems harder.
-
fairly minor thing, but can you detect from sync whether a home instance allows downvotes? mine does not, but sync still displays the unusable downvote button on everything
Search function. I get this. I cannot search remote instance toast whenever I try to search
Good spot. Fixed for the next release.
Hiding blocked communities from the ‘Everything’ feed please
Blocked or filtered?
I’ve been ‘blocking’ irrelevant communities in the Everything feed hoping it would do something. Was not aware that there was ‘filtering’ which may actually do what I want. Seems to me that any blocked communities should still never be visible anywhere though?
Adding to blocked will hide them from the everything feed.
Can you confirm they’re blocked here:
Is it not possible to add upvotes history?
I am considering creating multiple accounts to upvote this even more. Ok just kidding, but seriously if this is at all technically feasible it is by far my most missed feature. I often used my upvote history as a sort of very loose bookmarking system. I realize I can save posts, but I usually reserved that for extra special posts that I really needed to save.
The way Lemmy is set up I’ve actually struggled to find a post I upvoted just a couple hours prior. It can be very frustrating.
Yea I would always go check upvotes to find a post from recent, miss that feature
Block Bots
Please
You can turn off the “show bots” option in Lemmy. I suppose you might have to go to the webpage instead of using Sync, but it’s definitely an option.
Or you can block them like any user you find annoying.
I don’t recall what app I was using before Sync was ready, but it had the option built in. Sync was my favorite Reddit app, and I am so glad it’s available for Lemmy. I’ll check out blocking through the website. Thanks for the heads up!
There’s filtering in app, too, which can help, but if you don’t want to see any bots, I feel like that’s your best bet. (If it’s just one or 2, you can block them from any post without too much hassle either.)
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.
If when we go to Local communities and All communities list there could be an indication of the ones we’ve already subscribed to?
Nice idea
Allow users to switch accounts when making posts or comments instead of having to go back to the home screen
+1! Easy account/instance switcher from anywhere would be so helpful.
Blocking an instance.
Until the Lemmy devs add this you can filter locally
+1 to instance wide blocking, it’s a feature that is sorely needed.
That said, it’s on the lemmy devs’ road map so idk if you’ll want to wait for that… But I’m not sure when they’ll get round to building that feature.
Is there a link to the road map?
It’s that different to filtering an instance?
Filtering occurs on your device.
Blocking occurs before it gets to you.
Does the API let you explore an instance?
You can already do this on the live version.
Found it! Thank you.
I don’t get notifications when a message is in my inbox, but I have notifications enabled.
Ditto. This is probably my only Sync for Lemmy complaint right now.
Same.
Having webp images/animated images show up in the post feed without having to click on the image
On behalf of all the perverts out there, how about a toggle filter for only showing NSFW posts. Would be nice for…ahem… “discovery” on the everything feed.
Assuming it’s not already possible that is.
I think that’s called making an account on pornlemmy lol.
Fair point, not a lot of NSFW on other instances. But there might be and I’ll never know! 🥺
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.
It looks to be an issue with using the backend 0.18.4-beta.8, ever since my instance updated to it I haven’t been able to use Sync either
Got it thanks
Seconding this. I switched over to discuss.online recently and was surprised when I suddenly couldn’t use Sync. Took a good while before I happened upon the admin post about the issue so now I’m back to Lemmy.world on Sync
