    Thx so much.

    When show instance is set to always, post authors are still shown without. Would be great if there was a way to show that without opening the posting user.

    I really like how with showing display names the domain can still be appended btw.

    Another bug I noticed was when the phone orientation is locked and video player orienration isn’t, when reading laying on the side videos in fullscreen glitch out, constantly trying to rotate but being unable to, until the phone is held upright and the orientation lock pressed. If one doesn’t realize that, it is impossible to exit the glitched view otherwise.

      I can’t reproduce the issue where the phone’s orientation is locked but the video player orientation isn’t. When this happens, the video correctly rotates for me.

      I’ll fix the instance name issue in the next update.

    Nice work. One thing I miss from Sync for Reddit is sorting communities/subs by number of times visited. Is that workable?

      Thats pretty much what MAU (monthly active users) is. You should already be able to sort by this in most places. Also a lot of lists are sorted by MAU by default.

      Let me know if there is a specific list you would like to sort that cannot be sorted right now.

        Apologies for the misunderstanding. It’s probably a niche use-case/workflow but I specifically meant sorting the subs/communities list by the amount of times I’ve visited them.

        In Sync for Reddit, each sub visit is tracked and iterated and you can choose to sort your subs by most-visited. The result is a very quick way to navigate across your most-used subs. See below screenshot.

        With Lemmy being a more fragmented social media site, i personally think this workflow would be even more useful here. But, I’m just one user ! I’ve no idea if other people used this feature of Sync or not.
