    This is how LJ operates.

    Sync is already polished. It’s older than Lemmy itself, originally released in 2013!!! The current version is 23!

    There aren’t a ton of updates these days because there’s not much to update. This app is polished as hell, having over a decade of development.

      There are many issues though, and it’s been 4 months now with nothing.

      How about solving the ‘failed to pull git’ or whatever error it is for images.

      Or adding in Scaled sort.

      ‘not lots to do’ isn’t a good reason for being completely silent.

      for reddit it was but things are changing on Lemmy and spoilers, superscript, etc. Still don’t work on Sync.

          Ironically, that isn’t valid Lemmy markdown. Sync should be supporting Lemmy markdown, not Reddit markdown. Here’s what your comment looks like on the website:

          This issuperscript and you can also dosubscript.

          This is^superscript^ and you can also do~subscript~.
          

          Personally I don’t like Lemmy’s syntax for spoilers, but Sync should still support it!

          Teaser text here

          Hidden text

          ::: spoiler Teaser text here
          Hidden text
          :::
          

          How’s that look in Sync? Terrible.

          Yeah go view your comment in the webui or any other app.

          So if I use the spoiler markdown button in sync to other Sync users it looks like it’s working, but surely lj knows?

          That’s the Reddit method for spoilers though, and won’t be hidden on every client. Lemmy’s version is:

          ::: spoiler Teaser text here
          Hidden text
          :::

          Teaser text here

          Hidden text

            Turns out Sync fucks with what you type to get spoilers to work, so you can’t even show a Sync user the proper syntax!

      Considering I’ve paid for the Sync app multiple times, and the price for the Lemmy version is one of the highest cost apps, I think it’s at least reasonable to expect at least a minimal amount of communication.

      If it really was “already polished” and “older than Lemmy”, why do I have to pay again and a significantly higher price for Lemmy integration when I already paid for the “already polished” parts? I figured it would be a reasonable price increase because Lemmy is constantly changing and still somewhat young, so that means more frequent updates to keep up.

        I don’t recall paying for the Sync lemmy app. Is there a way to have this without paying? Or did I pay for it and don’t remember?

        While I totally understand your frustration, and I myself have moved on to jerboa and still sub here and have the app installed, but haven’t opened it in over a month.

        This is the exact same dev style sync has always had.

      Long time Sync user and supporter. App is smooth and works great…except I have been seeing a lot redgifs that won’t preview or open recently.
