I actually found out about this a few days ago. I suddenly kept getting errors and found out the app i used, Boost, hadn't been updated in almost a year... Now running Voyager. How did i not notice? No idea.

I have no idea what any of this means.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 4 points 1 hour ago

Mobile apps that have "died" - Voyager still lives on, stronger.

By died, it means no longer being maintained.

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago (5 children)

I am using sync

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 4 points 1 hour ago

I finally uninstalled it the other day. It's clear the dev has abandoned it.

Me too but it's semi-broken right now and hasn't had an update in a long time. I really don't want to switch, though.

[–] Waffle@infosec.pub 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Same here, but it does feel like the app has been abandoned by the developer

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I wish I could say I was surprised. The sync dev fucked me in a premium reddit license years ago when they invalidated the existing licenses and made people pay again for the premium to keep having it on reddit.

Glad I went with voyager over them.

Why pay when many app are free with no ads ?

I use Connect and love it.

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I paid because it had been a good app and I wanted to support the dev. But I won't make that mistake for them again.

Same

Is sync killing your battery???

[–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I still rock wefwef. Web client apps are just cool

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Wefwef is Voyager. My app still says wefwef too :)

[–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Right, but it’s not an app from the App Store. From what I understand, there is an actual “app” and there’s wefwef, which is just a browser pointed at lemmy with some magic applied. I always get prompted to try the complete experience by downloading the app, but I’ve refused thus far.

Boost was my favourite client to use back on the reddit days. I migrated to lemmy before boost was announced for lemmy, but man it's a big help having it.

I'm using Memmy right now and honestly had no clue that it's dead!

[–] orwellianlocksmith@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Booooost

[–] Darkhoof@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Boost gang in here! Heck, I still use it for Reddit as well.

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

I'm loving boost for the most part

[–] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Avelon is dead? Using it right now..

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

People seem to have moved to Arctic

[–] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Thanks I’ll check it out Avelon is still decent but it’s likely I can get a better experience somewhere else

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

I can't even remember what the kbin app was. Artemis?

[–] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 42 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I've been using connect and it's pretty great!

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 hours ago

It has been great and is the UI that I want to use however it has slowly been slipping downhill over the last year and a half. That last update from this week has fucked more things than it fixed and introduced new issues as well.

I want it to be great. I want it to work properly but the dev is barely active popping in every 6 months or so to drop an update that might make it better but probably make it worse. It was a better app experience 18 months ago, that's for sure.

I've moved over to trying Voyager because of all this and it is the closest to connect I can find so far.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Where Boost?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Boost was more recently updated on July 14, 2024.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago

I'm still using it. Now, some activity would be very much appreciated. Or, if there is no new development, the source code. But it's still the app I prefer to use.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 85 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Still using Sync here, what exactly am I missing out on? Tried voyager years ago but coming from Reddit and using Sync for that, it was a pretty natural jump.

[–] IncogCyberspaceUser@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Here is a comment I made in a relevant thread, where they discuss sync (here: https://lemmy.world/comment/14130358)

As someone who used sync on reddit for many years, I switched to Summit a few weeks ago and it's great. This post comparing a lot of lemmy apps made me finally take the plunge: https://lemmy.world/post/18159531

TLDR: A lot of formatting is messed up on sync.

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 29 points 10 hours ago

It hasn't been updated in quite awhile, and I have heard some Lemmy features are still broken - I think some types of inline images and markdown mainly, and some upcoming api changes may break it completely in the nearish future.
