I am definitely a llama.

The options I’m aware of are A) that spot to block/filter instances in Sync (which you’ve already done), or B) going to the web interface with a browser, going to your settings page there, and there’s the tab for Blocks. That page has ways to block a person, community, or (at the very bottom of that) instance.
I can’t help you with getting the filter to stick, but at least there’s another way (which should end up being client agnostic)
Yeah, tested on that post and this one, and it at least works in each post and comments. Good luck!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like this, maybe?
(May not always be useful?)
They’re “Community” on Lemmy, and “Magazine” for kbin. I don’t know about elsewhere…
What navigation style do you use? It’s probably the same, just how you get to the view that shows the list of Local, Subscribed, and Everything. Left drawer navigation will look like this
Long-press the three-dot menu next to Subscribed for the option 
My experience exactly when I tried mentioning the spoiler problem (there’s a markdown-specific post here if you wanted to add anything else, btw)
I think there are 3 ways of marking spoilers and Sync only recognizes 1 of them or something. Even on this community’s about section there’s a spoiler that doesn’t work in the app.

the spoilers are a mess.
Yup. They are (for now)!
Yes, it does show ads. It does that. (The same way a lot of apps handle free-tier.)
There are other Lemmy apps out there that don’t show ads, but I think Sync is the most polished of the bunch.
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)
Edit: what the hell is going on with that account that keeps spamming nonsense?
More than 600 comments in less than 3 hours? Probably safer to block and move on.
The one that looks like a person with a 🚫 is Banned user, trashcan is deleted comment, iirc. (Provided by a new spammer with an account <20 mins old)
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.
I don’t know if it’s a solution you’d like, but there is a bottom nav bar for comments. That’s what I do for those really long posts. If you gimme a sec, I can find the setting link for you.
Edit: Settings shortcut: Comment options > Display navigation bar
❤️ I’ll take it! Thank you kindly! I definitely hate to put any more on your plate - but damn man, you are flying through the issues and requests!

Also this convo is relevant:

Edit to add: also happens if you use the top “more actions” menu for your inbox.
Absolutely
Scenario (steps to reproduce)**
Result(s)
Crash.
Device information
Sync version: v24.03.11-20:32
Sync flavor: googlePlay
View type: Smaller cards
Push enabled: false
Device: bluejay
Model: Google Pixel 6a
Android: 13
Now that some things’ colors are prettied up, can you check on the way the inbox crashes from the left drawer? 😁
I don’t actually like using the Bottom Nav bar, but it’s the only way to change pages in the inbox without it crashing Sync AND the only place that shows if I have a reply. (The badge for unread messages)
Thanks! (I’m sure it’s probably not at the top of your list, but the app reliably crashes so it seemed worth mentioning)
Awesome! Thank you for all the hard work!
Ah, I see - since I only really upload and don’t link images, I didn’t realize it didn’t work the same way. Or that the “insert link” didn’t handle it. Somehow this is the post that cleared up my understanding. Thanks! 😁
This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…
I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
