v122 adds support for a super secret upcoming new feature…
Android Settings -> Apps -> Sync -> Open by default
I had the same issue, you could try Lemmy Redirect (the github repo is named after the Mastodon proxy, but the Lemmy one is there as well), works for me.
hmmm, not sure if chrome has this, but for Firefox I use the “Open in App” button, since I have “Open links in apps” set to Never.
Though I can replicate your issue, clicking a lemmy link in Discord brings me to Firefox, whereas clicking a YouTube link in Discord takes me directly to the YouTube app (technically the ReX app)
Oh true, Fediverse links are still not handled ideally. I know there’s technical limitations to fedi app developers keeping an up-to-date list of domains that their app can open links from, but it would definitely be nice if there were some easier way to do things.
One side note, I’ve noticed that Megalodon (a Mastodon client) has a pretty good workaround for this issue – if you use the share sheet to share a link with Megalodon, it gives you the option to post the link or to attempt to open the link in the client. That’d be a pretty killer feature to have in Sync, if there isn’t some easier/better way to make it easier to choose certain Lemmy domains to open in Sync by default.
This is awesome, nice work!
Hope push notifications are next! (yes, I’m on Ultra)
Not sure if this is the right place to comment, but I love the recent reordering of comment buttons so Save or Post is the first button. This addresses one of my very few negative thoughts about the UI. Tabbing multiple times to get out of the editor and then hit Enter just became tabbing once. Thank you to the Lemmy team!

Holy shit. This looks like an epic update!
Sync is actually just the best.
Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek
This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌
This is exactly the reason, after using Sync for YEARS on reddit, I paid for Sync on Lemmy the minute it was available.
This is absolutely the best application for browsing this type of forum. I get why some other folks prefer FOSS/Free/Non-ad based apps, but I have no qualms about shelling out the cash for a really well designed app that I use just about daily.

Yeah its not even close. Lj, you are an extremely skilled developer. Thanks for making such a good app
When are we getting another update?
Superb! Thank you for the hard work!
Love the update! Thank you, Mr. LJ!
Sadly though, I just got my first reply notification (yay!) … and the inbox notification badge that tells me I have 1 new only shows up on the bottom nav bar and not in my left drawer or more actions inboxes…
I can screenshot them if you need me to.
Which action boxes?
Adding it to the drawer is on my todo
Using the “More Actions” menu via the three-dots button at the top of my Subscribed feed, this is my view:
In the lower left of that menu is my Inbox icon, with no “new messages” badge. (I admit I don’t know all the right words) In the dimmed bg you can see my Bottom Nav bar, with a badge on it.
(Cropped view of the 2 inbox icons)
You’re the best LD!
♥️
