        My experience exactly when I tried mentioning the spoiler problem (there’s a markdown-specific post here if you wanted to add anything else, btw)

        I think there are 3 ways of marking spoilers and Sync only recognizes 1 of them or something. Even on this community’s about section there’s a spoiler that doesn’t work in the app.
        ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

        the spoilers are a mess.

        Yup. They are (for now)!

          Sync actually makes one up based off reddit. Click the markdown button presently and your spoiler won’t work on the website. This is being reworked though.

          !see!<

    Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek

    This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌

    This is exactly the reason, after using Sync for YEARS on reddit, I paid for Sync on Lemmy the minute it was available.

    This is absolutely the best application for browsing this type of forum. I get why some other folks prefer FOSS/Free/Non-ad based apps, but I have no qualms about shelling out the cash for a really well designed app that I use just about daily.

    Excellent work boss, as always 👍🏻

    Edit: Wow the messaging section is looking good, Sync for Reddit never looked that nice!

    Sync apps have been my go-to for 10 years. Here’s to 10 more 🍻

    New messaging looks awesome!

    Is there a way I can bind sync to be my default app for links to my instance? Annoying that someone sends me a lemmy.ca link and I have to go find it manually in sync, or just view it in my browser.

        Ah that makes sense, thanks! I was looking in the sync options.

        Edit: odd it doesn’t work. I added every domain, then click a lemmy.world link in discord and it still opens chrome

          hmmm, not sure if chrome has this, but for Firefox I use the “Open in App” button, since I have “Open links in apps” set to Never.

          Though I can replicate your issue, clicking a lemmy link in Discord brings me to Firefox, whereas clicking a YouTube link in Discord takes me directly to the YouTube app (technically the ReX app)

      Oh true, Fediverse links are still not handled ideally. I know there’s technical limitations to fedi app developers keeping an up-to-date list of domains that their app can open links from, but it would definitely be nice if there were some easier way to do things.

      One side note, I’ve noticed that Megalodon (a Mastodon client) has a pretty good workaround for this issue – if you use the share sheet to share a link with Megalodon, it gives you the option to post the link or to attempt to open the link in the client. That’d be a pretty killer feature to have in Sync, if there isn’t some easier/better way to make it easier to choose certain Lemmy domains to open in Sync by default.

    Thank you so much for the continued updates!

    Something about the fixes for usernames not showing up appears to have undone the fix for #122. I can see my username in plaintext for the current account even though I have hidden the display names.
