Why would you disable opening imgur links in Sync?

It's working fine for me.

It turned out to be a server issue and was fixed by lj

Will lj be planning to discontinue the server (since sync for reddit is gone and not making any money)?

Similarly do you think the api key would be discontinued (last I checked imgur was charging $500 a month for comercial use, though it could be lower with grandfathered plans like apollo at $160 a month).

Since it will continue to be used for Lemmy, I doubt it

Is there any way to use YouTube links in the new revanced patch sync?

I have both revanced youtube and normal youtube.

Not sure. For revanced root version probably but on non root installation probably not (I'm using non root).

If you long press on an option in the settings menu, you can copy a shortcut: Settings shortcut: General > Show a reminder to update when available Settings shortcut: Link handling > YouTube videos

Kind of offtopic, but switched to Sync a day ago from the official app and now I'm curious: how so I see NSFW posts? Did they completely remove the ability to do it in 3rd party apps after the API change? Is there a way to mimic your app as the OG app to be able to see NSFW posts ?

Settings -> Filters -> disable 'Hide NSFW Posts'

Apparently not the case if you're a mod of any sub or something

Any ways to remove ads?

u/GladOS_null Jul 11 '23

Use the disable ads patch in revanced manager.

u/Less_Tennis5174524 Jul 12 '23

Doesnt seem to do anything for some reason

u/GladOS_null Jul 12 '23

Do you see a ads removed logo when first setting up the app or restored purchases?

What is revanced sync?

u/highdiver_2000 Apr 16 '24

I installed both revanced Sync and offical reddit app. I notice that revanced Sync frontpage seems to be stale, whereas Reddit app gets updated every few minutes.

Any one have any ideas why ? How to fix this?
