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.
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.
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.
Laughs in Lemmy Sync

Aww man. I’ve been using sync too.

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.
Oh? interesting. Thanks for the heads up.
Didn’t that get abandoned? I switched to Connect after Sync.
I’ve been using Boost since the abandoning.
News to me? huh, neat. I haven’t had issues but guess I’ll look for alternatives.

oh fudge. Sad to hear. I had Reddit Sync for years and loved it.
Same. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to buy Lemmy Sync when it came out.
