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.

[–] DarkSirrush 44 points 2 months 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I was in the same boat; I've been using sync for years. Recently, I've definitely noticed issues with certain instances and comment sections. Search was also completely broken. According to what I've read, it appears to be a version mismatch issue. Since sync hasn't been updated in a year, I've cancelled my subscription and moved over to Summit.

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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).

Thunder is my preferred client, with jerboa being second

Honestly thunder is perfect aside from being a tad slow to load sometimes. And it seems to have a little more tendency to experience network issues, but the UI is everything I could ask for

Jerboa might be my favorite if it showed full size link previews since I usually engage visually before I engage with text

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, one of the big fears with moving to a small platform like Lemmy was that the apps wouldn't be nearly as good the Reddit ones, but Thunder is just genuinely fantastic.

Memmy was how I first got into Lemmy. Feels bad that it doesn’t exist anymore.

[–] Sunshine 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't believe it's now gone. It was the best ios app that existed back then.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Wait what I’m sitting here using Memmy lol. I guess I should move on? Why is it dead?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago
[–] Sunshine 11 points 2 months ago

It hasn't been updated in a while though it might work okay on the older instances like baraza.africa

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

IIRC it isn’t being updated anymore, the App Store listing is gone. I remember the devs posting something about burnout in the past and I’m assuming they didn’t have the time and energy to keep going on it.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I notice there are only 5 gravestones because Sync is just mysteriously vanished, possibly not dead

[–] Sunshine 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's accurate since Sync could come back with an large update since the last patch was on Mar 26, 2024.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm using Sync now. I think we're used to the occasional hibernation.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also still using sync. Works great! I honestly hadn't noticed there wasn't an update since my phone is so old that I rarely get updates for anything anymore.

Mlem is alive and kicking!

[–] Sunshine 21 points 2 months ago (8 children)

We haven't received a stable update in a while but the github repository has been very busy for the final push towards 2.0! The last commit was 5 hours ago 🔥

This is a clever way to do a survey on user's preferred mobile clients

Boost was more recently updated on July 14, 2024.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

Eternity (infinity fork) is still around, but I've been using voyager myself.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Been using Summit, good so far.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Eternity has been great all year.

i was a baconreader guy for the loooongest time.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

Sync is dead? Wasn't that the paid service one?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

From what I’ve read the dev just vanished but it’s still up. The paid one. I don’t use it tho

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was the same back in the Reddit days as well. We're used to it at this point

I use Raccoon. I think I like it the best out of the 4 I tried.
