In the play store description I noticed you refer to “subs” but they’re called “communities” here.
Cheers I’ll change that.
Great. You’ve been killing it lately, thank you.
While you’re at it this setting should probably say “Body” or maybe “post body” instead of “selftext”.
Settings shortcut: View type > Show selftext previews
Edit: oh, found it in a couple other spots
Settings shortcut: Post options > Long press selftext to select text
Settings shortcut: Link handling > Expanded selftext links
It’s been “selftext” since day 1 on reddit iirc. This should stay the way it is. It’s part of Sync’s identity imo.
When i noticed, back then, i found it funny. Idk if it’s intentional or a forgotten placeholder that survived.
At a certain point Lemmy and Sync are going to find users that weren’t redditors and I could see it causing some confusion. It’s minor though. Bothers me less than “subs” for sure.
Hey, think you could tinker with the “Glide Failed to Grab This Image” bug? It’s happening more and more now, and it even happens to images I post.
