The 0.19.4 release also broke marking posts as read in Sync for Lemmy. Although this isn’t really something we consider a blocker, it’s still worth mentioning, as there are still a lot of Sync for Lemmy users out there that haven’t noticed this issue yet if they’re only active on Lemmy.World. Over the last 2 weeks we’ve had nearly 5k active Sync for Lemmy users . This is unfortunately something that will break during the upgrade, as the API has changed in upstream Lemmy.
I quit Sync months ago, I’ve been using Voyager and I love it. It actually has better functionality than Sync and somehow it manages to stay within 12 months of being up to date with the rest of the Fediverse.
Frankly LJD burned any good will and I don’t plan on ever returning. Save your money and time and go with a FOSS alternative.
As someone who came over from reddit basically via Sync, this is normal. Dev likes to go MIA for extended periods of time and suddenly appears with huge updates.
Doesn’t suit the still developing environment here, though.
Also just extremely rude… Everyone would understand if he puts out a short message like “busy with work for the next few months”. Randomly leaving for months while people pay for something you make is crazy.
Idk, we don’t have to use it, tons of clients out there…
Sure we don’t, but as a long time subscriber on reddit then Lemmy, who doesn’t even need the ultra features but wanted to support the dev, I’ve been feeling bamboozled for a few months now…
Dude saw the project of his life absolutely destroyed by Reddit. I can understand he just wants to move to the next chapter of his life.
Sure a bit of communication is always appreciated but it’s already pretty cool he ported the app to Lemmy.
