First round of modtools added
THANK YOU!
I’ve been wanting mod tools since I started using Lemmy a few months ago. Even this little bit is super helpful.
Nice, I hope the app is making enough to keep the updates coming.

Sync can now open lemmy links from the top 50 instances
This is appreciated.
I wish there were a way to add to the list of supported URLs as a user. Looks like that would be an Android enhancement.
Is there any mechanism in Android’s intent-handling to make this more flexible today or are we stuck for now?
Sadly they have to be hard coded in
Would there be a form or a submission process to getting certain domains included? I guess opening a GitHub issue for each one?
Trying to get
To work
That instance has 1 user per month. Going to guess that’s you?
No it’s not me. That user I believe is the admin for it. I discovered that it’s a instance for hosting 4wd communities but no user registration. So would like to use it for it’s purpose but navigating links is hard. Going to try and help build but I only use sync to access lemmy.
Disappointed that importing and exporting subscribed lists is an Ultra feature :( I can’t afford ultra.
I made a script to transfer subscribed subreddits to lemmy: https://github.com/induna-crewneck/Reddit-Lemmy-Migrator
There has to be some kind of good feature locked behind to make money, you can use a different program to do this anyways.
I do understand - it’s just a shame.
Current priority #1 is to fix the remaining comment display issues.
Edit: all fixed, will be pushing live tomorrow.
Speaking of, I’m sorry to say I think this update broke opening comments on my device.

Kind sir, I now give upon you my money.
Just paid for ad-free baby! Let’s go.
A lot of great changes, this is awesome!
Good god you work fast. Great stuff, thanks so much for adding the mod tools 🥰
Thanks for the update.
Is there an option to show hidden posts on refresh?
Tap on your in-use account where you go to add another account or switch between accounts. That showed all the hidden posts for me
Nice, thanks. That worked.
That feels like a bug. Maybe there should be a setting to chose between permanently hiding (including beyond switching accounts) and hiding until refresh. I would prefer the former and that’s how it was on Sync for Reddit, but it seems there’s an audience for the latter option
This is what I wish WOULDN’T happen. I switch instances all the time, I hate having to re-hide posts over and over. If I hide a post, please keep it hidden!
Yeah I’d love this to be an option. I like temporarily hiding read posts to find unread content more quickly, but being able to refresh and see them again.
Yeahhhh. The current behavior is not how I use the hidden posts feature. It was perfect before and now it’s ruined how I use the feature.
Added an option for the next release.
Great Update. The improved hidden post behavior is a good step in the right direction. Another feature from Reddit Sync I’m missing is the account selector while commenting.
Thanks for the hard work LJ!
Woo, so many changes and fixes. Thanks for the image picker one!

Thanks! Is there a way to return the solid red NSFW previews? I tried unchecking the blur setting, but everything is still blurred.
I’d like this to be returned also. What’s the reason for the change? There was and still is a setting to blur previews. This just takes away a feature.
