Looking for an alternative to Sync, because I’m tired of not getting updates from LJD despite it being a paid app. Unfortunately, thus far I’ve tried about half a dozen apps and none of them quite give me as much customisation options as Sync did, especially on the feed view. Few of them even come close. Does anybody have a recommendation for a highly-customisable app?
I, too, abandoned Sync after paying for it. I’ve come to despise the dev and the app. He’d do things like release breaking changes then disappear for months. Markdown never worked right because it used Reddit style markdown for things like superscript, etc. And one day he decided to add markdown to post titles with horrible results, and no way to disable it, then disappeared again.
At any rate, I switched to Thunder and I’m perfectly happy with it. It’s customizable enough, and I guess I’m ok with the things I can’t customize. I also tried a bunch of apps, and Thunder was definitely the best.
Edit: oh, and the spoiler tags! Editing a comment would replace proper Lemmy style spoiler tags with incompatible reddit style ones. WTF!
I switched from Sync to Thunder months ago (mostly for user tagging) and I don’t feel like I gave up much in exchange.
Am I the only one using sync for free, getting frequent updates and having a quality experience?
The last update was 8 months ago, so yes, you’re probably the only one getting frequent updates. I don’t mind it being a paid app, as I believe devs need to eat, but given how long his current hiatus has been, it feels very much abandoned.
I hear the exact same thing every 6 months. Still working for me.
Good for you. Do you actually have anything to contribute to this discussion?
