Holy shit! Welcome back!
Well that came out of left field
Lemmy 0.19 has a breaking change for it’s API. Can tell with the tech debt LJ has been sitting on this for a while waiting for that to go. This is definitely one of the longer release cycles for Lemmy
I had been expecting this.
Lemmy itself is still a work in progress and the new version apparently makes some major changes from the current version.
Sync is currently in a usable stable state so instead of squashing bugs in the current Sync version it was a better use of their dev time to work on a build for 0.19.
Great! Now we wait for lemmy 0.19 to go stable!
Sort is broken now, trying to change it says “network error” and it defaults to “top 6 hours” which for many communities shows no posts.
Can’t revert to previous version of Sync for some reason, it prompts me to update it and refuses to start if I don’t.
The “Communities” button under the three dot menu still doesn’t do anything.
I can’t used previous settings. App will crash if I restore from backup. The only way I can use the updated app is by login and use default settings. Dev, please look into this. I don’t want to set the settings all over again.
Anyway, if you app crash, delete the data and cache, start over.
Could be leftovers from anti-piracy measures of reddit sync. I remember it was quite difficult to restore settings through titanium backup.
Nah I ripped all that out
App crashes on launch after update for me repeatedly after it scanned my fingerprint. After a successful scan it sat on the main page with no content loading, and no buttons working for a half second or so before the crash.
Couldn’t get past it with a force close or a clear cache. I had to wipe the apps data which logged me out and reset my settings, and then I was able to log in again.

Welcome back! Thank you for the update.

Thanks for the update!
Thank you for this <3
Thanks for the update!
The app was crashing for me on startup like other people have described. I reset the data and as soon as I enabled “Hide username in account picker”, it started crashing on startup again.
Seems support for the ‘scaled’ sorting option is missing :(
How can I get access to the beta?
I was able to sign up for it in Google Play, then I was able to update to the Beta after being accepted by going to the app page in Google Play.
Is there any way to hide the profile picture in the comments?
There is a toggle for it in account settings, but it doesn’t appear to stick. I toggled it off, but still saw profile pictures, and when revisiting the setting to copy the following link for you, I saw that it turned itself back on.
This setting is not getting saved properly. Even after saving it multiple time the settings just roll back to normal again.
Thanks so much for all these important updates!
Basically the only feature I need now is the ability to upload images (but it also doesn’t seem to work in Voyager or Boost, so not sure if that’s something the Sync developer needs to fix or not)
