Thanks for all the great updates! Is it on the roadmap to make webms previewable instead of needing to open them in external browser?

This post for example gives me image was actually a webpage: https://slrpnk.net/post/7567695

I’ll take a look into that. For some reason the image viewer isn’t reading the mime type correctly.

Yeah I noticed that one but it says .mp4, webms are .webm. At any rate I updated to 109 and it still makes me open in browser to play webms.

Idk why but after the recent update my upvote and downvote colors got interchanged.

A recent change he made to align with the official lemmy colors, which in a sly wink are the exact opposite of reddit. Blue is upvote, orange is downvote.

You can change the colors back in options if you like. Its under theme management.

Takes a bit of getting used to the new ones but matches lemmy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the subject of opening internally. When I browse a link inside Sync, then navigate within to another page, would it be possible if when I select “open in browser” it will open the currently viewed page and not the original? If that makes any sense.

I often get deep into links in an article and have trouble figuring out the link path I followed again

Also THANK YOU FOR SWIFTKEY FIX
