The 0.19.4 release also broke marking posts as read in Sync for Lemmy. Although this isn’t really something we consider a blocker, it’s still worth mentioning, as there are still a lot of Sync for Lemmy users out there that haven’t noticed this issue yet if they’re only active on Lemmy.World. Over the last 2 weeks we’ve had nearly 5k active Sync for Lemmy users . This is unfortunately something that will break during the upgrade, as the API has changed in upstream Lemmy.
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
As someone who came over from reddit basically via Sync, this is normal. Dev likes to go MIA for extended periods of time and suddenly appears with huge updates.
Doesn’t suit the still developing environment here, though.
Also just extremely rude… Everyone would understand if he puts out a short message like “busy with work for the next few months”. Randomly leaving for months while people pay for something you make is crazy.
