By default there’s no way to hotlink, if you will, to a post on any platform. Now some apps might be doing something special to get around this, but out of the box this isn’t supported at the moment.
Now there is an issue on lemmy itself which I’m exploring that should “fix” this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987
But I’m not sure how that might translate in a mobile app.
Missing features are fine. Even then, and maybe it’s just me, but Push Notifications + User Highlight/Tagging doesn’t seem like $2 worth of value to me. Just trying to call out that the current value-to-cost ratio seems off. And sure there are other features and maybe other users will get $2 worth of value out of those, but in my opinion that’s why I won’t be buying a subscription, even if I want to support the developer.
Originally it just looked like a collapsable title. (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/android-collapsingtoolbarlayout-example). Then I just happened to tap it trying to find out how to change my default sorting. Although I’m not sure why Sync doesn’t just use the default from my profile?
Thanks! I think I found the bug and I’ll see what I can do to get that fixed here soon. But to keep this comment thread on-topic message me personally if you have any other issues.
Totally understand that. And personally, $20 to remove ads forever, seems reasonable. But the other features under Ultra currently don’t add up to the price tag for those features at the moment.
None of the current Ultra features really stand out to me except tagging/highlighting users. Push Notifications will be a game changer but they aren’t in the app yet.
I also tried building a pet feeder during the pandemic because the one I was using, the company decided to go belly-up. Never got a fully working though.
(At least that’s what I’ve done open-source wise). I do Android development for my day job.
First I want to preface that I actually never used Sync for Reddit, I always used RIF but I wanted to give Sync for Lemmy a shot and see what it was all about.
A few things from my perspective:
Keep in mind I don’t have a frame of reference for what the prices were in Sync for Reddit, but cut the prices to about a 1/3rd or 1/4th of what they are now and they seem to be more inline with the value that the app provides over the other apps.
I don’t mean to sounds critical in all of this. The app is probably one of the smoothest and best looking out there so far, but the value to money ratio just isn’t there.

Heads up your copied post just went to the same community, so it looks like you have duplicate postings.
Playing devil’s advocate for a bit… So these are just cross-posts. Which existed even on Reddit. …I assume they weren’t handled in any way in Sync or Reddit?
But let’s say this is fixed… What to do about the multiple comments threads? How would you reconcile them with each other? Especially since the user can choose different ways to sort the comments as well. Would all of this logic normally handled by the Lemmy back-end now need to run on your phone? Also how do you choose which post / instance to actually display and which ones to hide?
Btw, I’m not trying to dismiss the idea. Just want to call out some of the technical problems that might come up trying to implement such a feature. As well as ask questions to try and determine exactly how such a feature is expected to work.
Not saying a tool like this isn’t helpful for you but personally I don’t think I’d ever trust a service to analyze my code and provide accurate comments. There’s so many little quirks and ultimately nuance in what is written vs what and why it’s doing it that I’d never expect anyone but the original author of the code to get it right.
So the builder pattern is supposed to solve the problem of: if you have a large number of optional fields that may or may not need to be set to construct your object. Then once the dev has called all of the setters that they require, they call build to fully realize that object.
Some rules that all builders should follow:
.build() method that will return the fully realized object. This method should essentially call the constructor for your target object using all of the parameters, regardless if a setter was called or not. Obviously any value where the setter wasn’t called will be null or some default value.
With ActivityPub all of the primary ids contain the domain of the hosting server. So if you lose your domain none of the other instances know that you’re the authority on those communities, posts, comments or users. So essentially federation breaks with all of the old data.
I’m also running Ubuntu as my main machine at home. (I have a Mac and do Android development for my day job).
But at home, I do a lot of website and backend dev.
docker buildxdocker compose up -dLookup Overseerr. https://overseerr.dev/
Clicking on the link would if you’re currently on lemmy.world and it’s taking you to programmingml.dev. But ya typing the URL into the browser bar shouldn’t.
Something you might try… Logout and log back in and the look for the jwt cookie and see what properties are set on it. Maybe they’ve started using session only cookies?
How are you visiting the site? Are you typing the URL into the address bar yourself or are you going to Google and then clicking on the link?
For the later, a few weeks back Lemmy pushed a change that doesn’t allow cookies to be seen if coming from an external domain. This change might have finally made it to your instance.
For the former, I have no idea. 🫤
Problem is finding the difference between repost bots and bots that are helpful like automod and link redirectors.
Maybe. 2nd idea I’ve got is that if no one is replying after say 24hrs and something like 75-80% of your posts are as such and you have at least 100 such posts, you get added to the list?
Main concern I see about something like this is false positives and how someone real could end up getting blocked.
I definitely want to think on this some more but it might have some legs.
