What phone do you have? I just upgraded last night and everything appears to be working like normal. But I did notice that you appear to have a smaller screen size than I do. First I’d try adjusting the display size and see if that helps. You can find that setting (on a pixel) under: Settings -> Display -> Display Size and Text.

You can also try adjusting the accessibility settings and increase or decrease the font size to see if that helps. Which you can find in the same menu above.

Lastly, you might try enabling developer settings and adjusting the smallest width:

Edit: none of these should be final solutions but to help troubleshoot what’s wrong. You can then use what you find with these three options to raise a ticket and hopefully the developers can then narrow down the actual root cause.

Yes it would. In my case though I know all of the users that should have remote access snd I’m more concerned about unauthorized access than ease of use.

If I wanted to host a website for the general public to use though, I’d buy a VPS and host it there. Then use SSH with private key authentication for remote management. This way, again, if someone hacks that server they can’t get access to my home lan.

Their setup sounds similar to mine. But no, only a single service is exposed to the internet: wireguard.

The idea is that you can have any number of servers running on your lan, etc… but in order to access them remotely you first need to VPN into your home network. This way the only thing you need to worry about security wise is wireguard. If there’s a security hole / vulnerability in one of the services you’re running on your network or in nginx, etc… attackers would still need to get past wireguard first before they could access your network.

But here is exactly what I’ve done:

1. Bought a domain so that I don’t have to remember my IP address.
2. Setup DDNS so that the A record for my domain always points to my home ip.
3. Run a wireguard server on my lan.
4. Port forwarded the wireguard port to the wireguard server.
5. Created client configs for all remote devices that should have access to my lan.

Now I can just turn on my phone’s VPN whenever I need to access any one of the services that would normally only be accessible from home.

P.s. there’s additional steps I did to ensure that the masquerade of the VPN was disabled, that all VPN clients use my pihole, and that I can still get decent internet speeds while on the VPN. But that’s slightly beyond the original ask here.

A couple of options in my opinion, as I just did this myself:

You can use the CLI tool to “upload” them. You can even do this from the server itself. So upload times would be as fast as your network card can process or however fast your server is, whichever is slower. It does require that you create an API key for the user in question though.

Otherwise you can create an external library and link that to your account. Now Immich will still index this library but it won’t move or manage the actual files. I’m not sure though if it looks at those files for duplicates (i.e. if you try and upload the same photo from your phone to the server). This external library will also prevent deleting photos as well, FYI.

There might be other options that I’m not aware of, as I’ve only been using Immich for about a month now.

Correct. As I can only provide links to posts that are on your selected home instance. Eventually I’ll change this but you’ll get a 404 page for links that aren’t on your home instance, but see my P.S. below.

P.s. there have been changes to the Lemmy API that have prevented me from getting updates for about a month now. So most of the results you’re seeing are from old posts only. Until I can rebuild the crawler or find a new API there won’t be any new content.

So I’m totally save-scumming along the way, at least for my first playthrough. But damn was that fight hard even on normal. Was finally able to save Isobel but it ended up costing me Jaheira as she got swarmed by 3 of the enemies while I was dumping everything into Marcus. And at this point not going to try again.

Question though, when I got to the inn only a few tieflings were there and the rest had been kidnapped? Not sure what I might have missed to cause that?

This is the same reason I had to turn off my search engines crawler.

There were changes made to the API to ignore any page > 99. So if you ask for page 100 or page 1_000_000_000 you get the first page again. This would cause my crawler to never end in fetching “new” posts.

lemm.ee on the other hand made a similar change but anything over 99 returns an empty response. lemm.ee also flat out ignores sort=Old, always returning an empty array.

Both of these servers did it for I assume the same reason. Using a high page number significantly increases the response time. It used to be (before they blocked pages over 99) that responses could take over 8-10 seconds! But asking for a low page number would return in 300ms or less. So because it’s a lot harder to optimize the existing queries, and maybe not possible, for now the problematic APIs were just disabled.

I was using it’s APIs. But new restrictions have effectively been put in place that prevent me from using them for what I need. Similar API calls were being made that were causing DDOS attacks on lemmy.world.

As for running a lemmy instance itself. That’s a thought but I need the data in a different format to do efficient searches. It’s a tricky problem.

Yep that’s the new idea. The sad part is that with this method there’s no way to get historical data. Only new posts. So if a server goes down, gets DDOSd etc… I’ll lose posts forever.

Also building an ActivityPub implementation from scratch isn’t trivial either. So that’ll take some time.

I’ve got a few other ideas I’m playing with as well. Like just assuming that internal post IDs are all sequential and literally fetching them one by one. Or maybe some combination of both?

Thanks for the shout-out.

But FYI I’ve run into some bugs that’s preventing new content from being indexed. So you won’t see anything new (from about a week ago) until I can find a new method to fetch new posts.

By default there’s no way to hotlink, if you will, to a post on any platform. Now some apps might be doing something special to get around this, but out of the box this isn’t supported at the moment.

Now there is an issue on lemmy itself which I’m exploring that should “fix” this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

But I’m not sure how that might translate in a mobile app.

Missing features are fine. Even then, and maybe it’s just me, but Push Notifications + User Highlight/Tagging doesn’t seem like $2 worth of value to me. Just trying to call out that the current value-to-cost ratio seems off. And sure there are other features and maybe other users will get $2 worth of value out of those, but in my opinion that’s why I won’t be buying a subscription, even if I want to support the developer.

Originally it just looked like a collapsable title. (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/android-collapsingtoolbarlayout-example). Then I just happened to tap it trying to find out how to change my default sorting. Although I’m not sure why Sync doesn’t just use the default from my profile?

Thanks! I think I found the bug and I’ll see what I can do to get that fixed here soon. But to keep this comment thread on-topic message me personally if you have any other issues.

Totally understand that. And personally, $20 to remove ads forever, seems reasonable. But the other features under Ultra currently don’t add up to the price tag for those features at the moment.

None of the current Ultra features really stand out to me except tagging/highlighting users. Push Notifications will be a game changer but they aren’t in the app yet.

I also tried building a pet feeder during the pandemic because the one I was using, the company decided to go belly-up. Never got a fully working though.

(At least that’s what I’ve done open-source wise). I do Android development for my day job.

First I want to preface that I actually never used Sync for Reddit, I always used RIF but I wanted to give Sync for Lemmy a shot and see what it was all about.

A few things from my perspective:

1. So I’m using the combined BottomNavigation style, but finding settings or other options doesn’t seem all that intuitive. Some of the things, like how to switch from Everything to Subscribed for my feed, I found by accident. Where to buy the Ad removal was also rather hidden, etc…
2. The elephant in the room… Pricing… as a developer myself I get needing to make enough money to sustain your projects, and I get that there’s a lot less users on Lemmy than Reddit, but the prices for the subscriptions just seem outrageous. The problem as I see it, is that there’s already a healthy competition for Lemmy Apps out there today and most are completely free and have no ads as-is. Some may even be operating in the red, but still $2/mo, $17/yr, $100/lifetime still seems a bit much for essentially:

• No Ads (I’ve got a PiHole, so honestly I don’t see any ads at the moment anyway)
• Cloud Backup – backup of what? My login? My app settings? The former seems concerning, the later I don’t see much value as I only have a single Phone. If I get a new phone, sure it might save me a few minutes re setting it back up. There’s not that many settings at the moment that needed customizing. And adding too many makes the app too confusing.
• Highlight / Tag users – Ok this seems interesting but not quite worth $2/mo IMO.
• Translate text – I can do this in the web app already just by highlighting a comment. But to be critical here, /most/ of the content is already in English, and I don’t subscribe to any foreign language communities at the moment, so this at least doesn’t have any value to me.
• Select text from image – Ok, another interesting feature but still not quite at $2/mo
• Push notifications (coming soon) – I’m really wondering how this is going to work personally, but this is a much needed feature, at least just for private messages. Probably the feature I’m most excited about.
• Import / export subscriptions – This honestly needs to be built into Lemmy itself, but there’s also a handful of user scripts and other tools other developers have already written that can do this.

Keep in mind I don’t have a frame of reference for what the prices were in Sync for Reddit, but cut the prices to about a 1/3rd or 1/4th of what they are now and they seem to be more inline with the value that the app provides over the other apps.

3. The privacy policy. It’s a lot longer than I’d hope for a Lemmy app. I’m assuming most of the data being collected is for advertising, but it’s still concerning to me.

I don’t mean to sounds critical in all of this. The app is probably one of the smoothest and best looking out there so far, but the value to money ratio just isn’t there.
