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.
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.
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…
I get that it’s always been like that, it just shouldn’t be. Whether you believe it’s okay or not is totally an opinion and it’s fine. I’ve used sync alone for as long as it’s been around basically.
Just switched recently to Thunder. It’s a bit slower but has a lot of options. Its working fine… And this is from a person who has been many times over the years and is currently paying for sync.
Sync is more reddit than reddit was. And is my Lemmy experience up until a few days ago.
