It s been about a year now since the last update, and the author’s account has been radio silent…
Wonder if things are okay

I’ve been busy irl, but I’m working on a new update with some of the changes added from Lemmy 0.19.6 to 0.19.10
That’s totally valid, just glad to see you’re still alive and well 👍
I gave you money when Reddit pulled their stunt just so you could have it
You rock, thanks for being awesome and I’ll continue to support you and thanks for supporting us
Thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting my apps, it means a lot to me 🙏
I mean you absolutely rule, and I used ad-free versions for a while… But then I thought about it and I realized like maybe just today I won’t have takeout and I’ll boil some rice with a *soup packet and then you can have the $5 like you deserve it bro
Appreciate the reminder. Just bought ad free as well. Ngl, $4 is so cheap for how much time I spend
Using Boost right now! Love the app, used it on Reddit til the API bullshit. Thank you very much.

I look at it this way if the app still works with the latest version of lemmy server then it’s not abandoned and the new version is done when it’s done. Until it breaks it’s not abandoned.
By that definition many of the games I have from the 90’s on CD’s that are still playable from companies that no longer exist are not abandoned 😝
Yeah the concepts of constant updates has been pushed by corporations as a loop hole for planned obsolescence. If the software works and you get what you wanted put of it then it’s not abandoned by the users just the developers are finished with it for now. Hell look at pillars of Eternity just got an update after how many years. Also it’s the very thing the https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ movement is all about.
I just saw the dev comment on another thread somewhere saying they had been busy but we’re working on an update that will come out soon.
I’m still using it even with ads, so I’m glad they’re still alive. Idk why, though. What features do we even lack?
- modlog
- admin tools
- the instance side bar is still missing
- formatting of markdown like spoiler tag
- a way to view the bottom bar where often the “legal” url for site policies are
- a page to view registration applications
- a way to switch between accounts while staying on the same post/while commenting. The reddit version had this feature
- a way to configure what language you are commenting/posting with
I think spoilers are still not working.

Test this spoiler
Ah you’re right! I forgot about that one.
Spoilers coming for the next beta
Yay, where do I sign up? (Jk, I’m already a beta tester)
I hate it doesn’t have algorithms to recommend some new subreddit or whatever it’s called here and that it doesn’t filter out posts based on what I watched, I’m tired of seeing r/worldnews or wtv. I go to reddit more often because of this
You can filter communities yourself by blocking them. Or subscribe to communities and curate your own feed, just like you can do on Reddit.
I have a list of casual communities here https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 you can use as a starting point. Curating your own feed is the best way to browse Lemmy imo, but if that’s too much, don’t be afraid to block away.
I don’t want to block away, I just want for it to show less, on reddit I don’t need to do anything, it does everything for me
Then subscribe to communities and curate your own feed. Reddits r/all feed has always been unbearable for me
How the hell do I do that?
Are you asking how to browse your own subscribed feed or how to subscribe to communities, because on either case it’s the same as it is on the Reddit app?
That looks like something for the backend, and not something I’d expect a client to do. If you’re not interested in a community you could consider blocking it. There’s also some room for experimentation with the various storting methods.
Yeah I don’t understand that part, I’m not really into software engineering, more like “classic” computer science
What do you mean “based on what you watched”?
Do you mean
a. Posts you already read show up again? (There is an option to hide read posts)
b. You want entire communities not to show up? (That is why you should subscribe to those you want and use the “subscribed” feed or, if you want to use the “all” feed, simply block the communities you dont want to see)
I mean showing more posts from the communities that I see frequently, all I want is more equilibrium, it can show up posts from r/worldnews and r/sciencememes but not too much and showing more posts from other communities that I am subscribed not just a few
So essentially a new sorting option, different from hot/active/scaled… which sorting do you currently use?
Hot subscribed, I literally just want what reddit has in this regard
Dude, I have just ditched Sync because it got abandoned, and moved to Boost a few weeks ago. Don’t scare me : ). (They had been busy, but they are working on an update).
I also ditched Sync recently. Shame, at least Boost is good. I don’t really feel like the other apps quite match either…
