Client-site "multicommunities" would be nice. A way for me to group multiple communities into a single feed like multireddits.
Oh this, like God mode ๐
Even better if this could be a lemmy feature I think, but client-side would be good too
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
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.
Shouldn't this combination of settings result in a red preview? Or no preview? Currently it still shows a blurred preview.
Red was removed and replaced with just the blur.
The blur doesn't really hide much sometimes.
Bad in public lol?
Hide NSFW doesn't work anymore. Only blurs.
Is it not possible to add upvotes history?
Would be nice to be able to see a single comment thread for any given comment, not only when coming from profile comments section.
A little icon on top of thumbnails to show the image:
-
Is a pic
-
Is a gif
-
Is video
-
Redirects to a website
If no content found on default sort, automatically fail over to a second sort selected by the user.
I.e add a toggle that allows "if default is top 12hrs but no content found, load content from new."
I'd like to see the "read text aloud" feature extended to the body of posts.
User mentions doesn't appear to be working for me.
Someone mentioned me a couple of days ago and it never came through. Could it be an instance thing?
I'd love these things:
- Be able to mark text and wrap with `...`, back ticks, for code formatting.
- Mark comment replies as unread.
Rename other users or hide certain characters. Im sick of people using emojis in their names but I don't necessarily want to block them.
I have an issue and not sure where to send it. I think "some" post makes Sync crash.

I hid about 5 posts and now there are no posts and the app doesn't crash and doesn't load new posts.
Maybe I need to relogin...
I've submitted a fix to Google for this.
Full immersive mode for non Samsung devices, or transparent navigation bar for those of us who hate gesture navigation.
A setting to hide posts that I have voted on. I miss this from Reddit.
2 old features I liked from the reddit version. Probably going to be quite low priority versus some other things, but they're the missing things I'm noticing most.
-
The little "next / previous comment" arrows. Worked very well for skipping comment chains when you're already a bit into them.
-
The little "+#" count next to the total comments to show how many new comments have popped up in a post. Combined with the unread comment dot it made keeping track of new comments on a thread I liked nice.
Can we have notifications about replies/messages at least when opening the app up? (It doesn't have to poll all the time for them, but hourly polling or something can be an option).
This is just about ready to launch.
Sync doesn't seem to format post titles which have links, which breaks the titles of posts made from mastodon ( since the hashtags are in the title).
Just added support for this ^
I'd like to get a quick option to block a community right alongside the filter options (filter user, filter site, filter community).
yes this would be good, it would avoid being obligated to open a community to block them.
A rework of font sizing is something I really want to add too.
Maybe a little slider under general.
Funny, I came to this community and ended up on this post, searching for how to make comments larger!
This app actually rocks. I am so enthusiastic to see what kind of improvements and updates are in store! Great job!
Blocking an instance.
+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.
It seems like a lot of images and gifs on Lemmy are hosted on catbox.moe and exactly zero of them ever load. Any chance of adding support?
Still having this issue?
To see a list of all communities on an instance. Unless I'm being dumb, I don't see this feature yet. And a subscribe button next to each community in the list
you can, if you open an instance, there is a 'communities'. from there you can open each community and subscribe.
this would be easier with some images... lemmy grab those
