A beautiful Lemmy app for browsing Lemmy on the go!

Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

    It’s a nice app mostly but there’s a few things stopping me from loving it currently

    • No lifetime license, I refuse to use a subscription service
    • list view mode doesn’t have the option to have buttons enabled and always showing
    • can’t disable auto hide of comment actions
    • No way to hide viewed posts
    • can’t highlight and copy text from a comment It just hides content instead (like why?) Only option is to copy all text from a comment but I don’t want to copy all just a small selection…
    • No option for top bar, only bottom and side

      The only one I can help you with:

      Tap a comment, three dots, select text, and now you can copy anything you want.

      • there will be a one time payment option to remove ads later when the app is out of beta
      • you can highlight and copy text by selecting the “copy…” menu item in the comment menu. Just tap and old on the text modal to highlight the text.

      press FAB button and click on hide read, it will hide all post that you have viewed…not sure of it’s an ultra feature but click on a comment, press dotted button on the side and choose select text…if I’m not mistaken the pro version will come soon when the app is out of beta phase

      You can hide viewed posts, there’s a button for it. Click the 3 dots in the top right and it’s there.

      You can highlight and copy text from a comment, tap the comment, 3 dots, select text.

          Still available! You can find them at: Settings->Post options->Swipe actions

          Personally I keep upvote/downvote as the first two swipe actions, third as the save post.

          Edit: pro-tip I just found after seeing someone else do it: long press on a setting in sync will copy a link to that setting. And you can paste it in a comment as such:

          Settings shortcut: Post options > Swipe to hide

        I hate paying subscription fees to giant greedy megaconglomerations but when we are talking about independent developers charging a reasonable fee for a great app, well…

        Doesn’t have to be the most expensive app I’ve ever bought though. While also collecting and selling data. Right? Don’t get me wrong, I love Sync. I just feel it went a bit overboard.

        Yeah but that doesn’t stop cheap people like me from uninstalling the app, I refuse to pay a subscription fee.
