Will get that patched asap. Funnily enough that crash helped me work out why images aren’t showing in comments too on android 8.
I had to revert to the previous version to send this comment because even opening the comments section on my new version makes my app crash entirely. I sent a crash report too
First round of modtools added
THANK YOU!
I’ve been wanting mod tools since I started using Lemmy a few months ago. Even this little bit is super helpful.
Nice, I hope the app is making enough to keep the updates coming.
Sync can now open lemmy links from the top 50 instances
This is appreciated.
I wish there were a way to add to the list of supported URLs as a user. Looks like that would be an Android enhancement.
Is there any mechanism in Android’s intent-handling to make this more flexible today or are we stuck for now?
Would there be a form or a submission process to getting certain domains included? I guess opening a GitHub issue for each one?

To work
Disappointed that importing and exporting subscribed lists is an Ultra feature :( I can’t afford ultra.
There has to be some kind of good feature locked behind to make money, you can use a different program to do this anyways.
I made a script to transfer subscribed subreddits to lemmy: https://github.com/induna-crewneck/Reddit-Lemmy-Migrator
