Lemmy's growth has stagnated but it will persist. Trust in LJD (the Sync dev) will not.

Prompted me to give Jerboa a go after some time. I think it's useable enough now to switch over and stick with.
It's still massively behind sync in several areas obviously but it has most everything. Be good to have more UI options and a few other conveniences but the big stuff is there.
I did hedge on sync, just ad blocking the free version as the pro prices seemed a bit gouge-y but bear in mind the guy had his whole side hustle swiped away from him in a gross and upsetting manner!
Try Thunder
Replying from it now! Pretty nice!
Now try Summit!
Must have made decent money with the price. I know I'm not paying for an app that's been out of date for so long. So he's lost my ultra renewal, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I moved on to Boost. It's sad but Sync was already too broken.
Boost and Sync were my favorites for Reddit... I wonder why Sync is in a very broken state but Boost isn't ๐ค (both don't update often).
I'd be happy with it if only it kept marking as read the posts on scroll... Like come on, I am not a code guy, but I am aware it only requires a single code line to fix.
Strange, that still works for me. If it stopped working I'd switch as well
Edit: Settings shortcut: History > Mark posts as read on scroll
It is an instance thing, although I thought lemmy.world was updated to the version when this change was implemented server side.
Yeah, was searching for this, how to enable and why it wasn't working. Ugh!
It doesn't, my favorite apps for Lemmy at the moment:
- Summit
- Boost
- Voyager
- Eternity
They all have said features (and a button to clean read posts).
He didn't. We'll hear something soonish hopefully.
Source?
My dad works for sync.
It's been this way since Sync was a reddit app. Pretty typical for the author to go on a 6-12 month hiatus. They've always come back eventually.
Very fair question, but I was hoping to wait and let him say something.
Which is another way of saying "wishful thinking"?
He followed up on my bug report last week. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'm guessing the new 0.19.9 release and the 1.0 announcement probably delayed things.
