Well, the latest version fixed the crash that I was having (pressing the three dots upper right when I was inside a post) so that’s good!

I have some ideas in mind that Sync could do better, some of these are compared with Summit or other clients, or even Lemmy backend lol (be aware that probably some of these ideas are fixable for example using another view type, I couldn’t tell because I always use “slides views” or it could be that I’m missing it because Sync already has tons of features lol):

• The instance name doesn’t appear next to the community name when you are inside a post (it is only visible on the feed), I think the same behavior occurs with the instance name for the username’s poster, I think it is important to distinguish all the time who we are referring to.

• Summit supports a limited version of “multisubreddits” even when I find it awesome that Summit’s dev added this, I feel the better way would be to wait and implement it when Lemmy has this built inside its backend… Although I’m pretty sure Lemmy has a lot of more stuff to worry about currently lol.

• I don’t know if it is only me and I consume a whole lot more of content with Lemmy than Reddit, but with Sync for Reddit whenever I wiped read posts I didn’t need to care about this again, at least in the current session, with Sync for Lemmy I am constantly hiding read posts and I even get a prompt saying all posts cleared from 1st, 2nds, 3rds pages etc. I think it would be nice if we could increase the fetching of new posts, so the hiding feature works better, we already see duplicated content here because of the way Lemmy works compared to Reddit, so that’s maybe why I end up cleaning more posts than in the other site.

Indeed the only way I can use Lemmy is having the show read posts option disabled within the Lemmy web settings, note, all the other Lemmy clients I have tried suffer from a similar issue like this… Maybe except Connect for Lemmy, which has a similar approach to the Lemmy way of hiding such read posts, but client side like all the others (no hide read posts option/button, they hide automatically, so I kinda never compare it with others).

• Which leads me to the next point, it would be nice to have a way to manage your Lemmy web’s settings within Sync for a Lemmy, this is possible from some clients like Summit and Jerboa.

• I think all clients suffer from this because Lemmy works this way, but IMO if you are using the Lemmy option to hide read posts, it shouldn’t hide your own posts, they should be accessible all the time when you navigate to your profile so if Sync could have a way to whitelist this it would be awesome.

• The new way to surf through instances is awesome, and I don’t recall other clients to have it, I could be wrong, but I think it would be better if it did fetch locally the instances that are cached within your instance, or the ones you are subscribed to, instead of getting the banner to load locally, I suppose there is a reason why you implemented it that way though.

• I’d like the legacy option to open in another window stuff to be more supported Settings shortcut: Post options > Long press cards to open comments in the background

Now that we can browse instances (which doesn’t work with) this would be great and well this feature is very limited because it only works with two kinds of views types, I don’t know why this is legacy, but I am using this very often.

• This occurred to me with Sync for Reddit too, when writing a post, or a comment or anything that involves the keyboard and changing to another app or minimizing Sync when re opening it it would always dismiss the keyboard, I find this behavior not be the same with other clients, it is only a tiny annoyance to me 😅

Those are my ideas, I think I’m not missing anything else, but as you can see not all these problems are Sync for Lemmy only, but it for sure would be awesome to have this working with this client.

Oh, and finally I gotta ask, how the heck did you manage to make Sync for Lemmy and Reddit to stick for so long in the RAM? I was using a custom ROM that handled my 6 GBs of RAM like if it was only 1 GB lol, and Sync would stay in the background like a champ, when all the others apps would refresh a lot, it was a true nightmare to browse Lemmy without Sync because of this feature that I never see mentioned, currently I ditched such a custom ROM and the new one handles this better, Sync still working superbly ofc, indeed when I used Boost for Reddit in MIUI I needed to pin the app so MIUI would never kill it (which is a neat feature if you ask me), this wasn’t even necessary with Sync for Reddit even when MIUI is known to have a deficient RAM management.

Greetings mate!
