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 am using sync

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Semi-broken? It seems to be working fine for me. Am I missing something?

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

There's a major incompatibility with newer versions of the Lemmy software where Sync shows a comment count but cannot display the comments. So at the moment I can't see any comments from posts hosted on sh.itjust.works. I know that there's other less severe issues too (I think spoilers are semi-broken in some instances).

The summary updates don't work for 90+% of posts (idk if the feature is available for free users - wanted to support development and bought the lifetime membership).

Also I persistently get a notification that there are no messages to return. I can't seem to get rid of it.

I'm sure there's other stuff, but these are the ones that I notice.

I don't want to switch either. Pretty sure the Reddit shit just ruined all the motivation for the developer. He probably lost a huge source of income too

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] __nobodynowhere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Maybe he died?

[–] Waffle@infosec.pub 7 points 12 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 12 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.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why pay when many app are free with no ads ?

I use Connect and love it.

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 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.

I have no idea what any of this means.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 10 hours ago

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

By died, it means no longer being maintained.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.bascul.in 16 points 14 hours ago

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.

[–] orwellianlocksmith@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Booooost

[–] Darkhoof@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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

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

[–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I still rock wefwef. Web client apps are just cool

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] fouloleron@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Just started using Thunder and it is a pretty easy transition from Sync.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

I'll have you know that I switched to thunder because of your comment. Perhaps I had customized Sync a lot but it's taking a bit getting used to the interface.

[–] IncogCyberspaceUser@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 12 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 31 points 19 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.

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 2 points 34 minutes ago

All day and night 👏

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

There are literally three of us!

(or so it seems from these threads)

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

Guess I'm the 3rd. Jerboa has been flawless for me, I feel like.

Idk, maybe Voyager is good to, looks fine. I might check it out if I run into a reason to try it.
