I don’t plan to switch but sync now has significantly less features since most are starting to not work. Sadly sync will be dead soon unless he comes back and does a pretty significant update. It’s only going to be harder after that since people are dropping the insanely priced subscription which was meant to help maintain the app. He’s lost the trust of his subscribers since it looks like he just took the money and dipped.

With that said its not uncommon to see him disappear then push an update quietly and become more active again. Without a doubt he’s still watching what we are saying.

I was just coming to mention this. We are nearing the end of being able to use sync. I don’t use it enough to try using another app but hopefully he’s working on something

There was a sub created specifically to help people get enough karma to post. I believe it got banned for going against rules about gaming the system. Funny enough I found it through the profile of a troll

Has that not always been how it goes? There was a time where the joke was “what can you say at both _____ and _____” because it was posted to absolute death. I know there’s been loads of stuff like that so is that not the same as to what’s going on? Is it not just a meme?

I’m sorry, come again?

Would be more bearable at the bottom the issue of how bright it is would still play a factor. I’ve been with you since day 1 of sync for reddit so I won’t be scared off I know you can only do so much. The price for premium is a touch more than I can pull together but maybe one day as I would love to support the development of the app!

Because it’s from a dev I support because I like the app. I dont mind ads I’m just saying this specfic type of ad is very intrusive which LJ typically takes into consideration when implementing them.

I plan to buy it just don’t have the money and I don’t like any of the other apps. I’m not gonna breath down the neck of the one guy working on this in his free time. He does a lot of work in the background and I’m actually fine dealing with the ads this specfic set of ads just makes using the app very uncomfortable to look at.

A lot of people act entitled to others free time and having on demand responses it’s exhausting for anyone trying to do anything when people slam on them for not relaying messages of every little thing they’re doing.

No can do. I don’t care for any apps besides sync. Been using it since day one for reddit. Everything else feels weird.

Are there any free ones these days? I haven’t looked in a few years. Last I knew the free ones were all scams.

Then pay for it. This is one guy soloing an app in his free time. If you want more features it requires more of his time to work on them and time spent developing this app is time not working his full time job making steady income. We have no right to ask for more of his time for free.

Press and hold feature doesn’t register as viewed.

Not justifying the gaps but it’s important to know that LJ does this as a side project. Back when he developed sync for reddit he made sure to mention that frequently. He is also the only one working on the app with no team. He really is a good person who’s likely being effected by the current state of affairs of the real world and has to focus on that right now.

The dev welcomes suggestions just so you know. I used sync for reddit for years before he was forced out and he has helped me troubleshoot one on one in the past. I’m still learning how lemmy works but whatever the equivalent of subreddits is just look for sync.

I’m kinda new to the scene so take what I say with a grain of salt. I have jellyfin running on a laptop and I use a roku stick to stream through. Not perfect by any means however it does what I need to do. I’ve been told using a raspberry PI would be a great budget option with more feature.
