Heads up: sometime after Lemmy v1.0 when legacy API support is dropped Sync will stop working. It already has several serious bugs that have been unfixed for like two years.

I switched to Summit a long time ago and couldn't be happier.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Aww man. I've been using sync too.

I used reddit sync originally and the creator saying "fuck you" to reddit, and that they were going to make one for lemmy, is his I even found out about it.

So did I, but eventually I couldn't live with the unfixed bugs anymore. And continuing to accept (quite expensive) paid subscriptions while not working on the app anymore left a bad taste in me too.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wait... It has a subscription model? I think I paid once, when it was reddit and the payment carried over.

But I agree, if theyre accepting sub money and it's abandoned.. That's real messed up

I thought it was yearly or lifetime as options? I can't remember exactly. The point still stands: payments were open despite the app being abandoned.

[-] Pistcow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Oh? interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Didn't that get abandoned? I switched to Connect after Sync.

[-] LastWish@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I've been using Boost since the abandoning.

[-] Pistcow@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

News to me? huh, neat. I haven't had issues but guess I'll look for alternatives.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It was a pretty slimmy move by the dev. A bunch of people paid for the app then the developer pretty quickly abandoned it. Cashed out on that good will they had from making a good Reddit app.

[-] Pistcow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

oh fudge. Sad to hear. I had Reddit Sync for years and loved it.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Same. That's why I didn't hesitate to buy Lemmy Sync when it came out.
