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?

    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?

            When you say about it being a paid app do you mean repeat payments? Because I paid less than £5 for sync years ago and still use it for free on Lemmy. I don’t think I’m helping the dev eat anymore. It does exactly what I need it to. No need to be mean to people that still like sync.

              No, I’ve bought the app as a one time payment a few times, starting back with reddit.

              No need to be mean to people that still like sync.

              I’m not here to bash Sync or anything. If LJ were to show up now with an update to fix broken stuff I’d happily continue using it. I’m just not looking for somebody trying to proselytise sync to me. I’m here with a specific question, and he’s making completely unrelated and unhelpful comments. Sync works for him? Great. What does that have to do with me wanting a new app that suits my needs? Not to mention he flat out bullshited in his first comment, about frequent updates.
