Try "boost" for lemmy... As a former sync reddit user I highly recommend this one
It's stupid but.... I don't like their font choices. If it had the one sync uses I'd be more on board.
I also find it slow when swiping away images, sync does that immediately but boost gives me a brief black screen.
Shit, I just want two column view that isn't so crowded it's useless.
Sync is it for that. Even eternity doesn't get it right, but boost is horrible in column view.
That being said, boost is really good otherwise. But I feel you, when you have a dealbreaker about something as fundamental as fonts, it can be trifling as fuck to work around. And it isn't a trivial issue. My dyslexic ass has trouble with fonts, so I get it. Even if it's only readability that's at stake, that's a huge part of a forum like this.
Do you use the open dyslexic font?
When available, yes :)
It really does work for me.
It just got the feature to mark posts as read while scrolling, and I was missing it so bad!
Aw, man, I'm liking the look of Boost, but does it not offer swipe actions? That's such a useful feature...
Does it, or any of the other apps, show you to categorize saved items? That was the big reason I paid for Ultra, so I'm very frustrated that LJ against Sync before even implementing that
This will be releasing pretty soon along with push.
Oh wow! Long time no see! I'm definitely glad to hear that, but I know I'm not that only one who's been frustrated by the silence and lack of updates. Can you speak to concerns as to the future development of Sync for Lemmy?
Was there something in particular you wanted me to work on?
Obviously the big things were the advertised Ultra features which were still missing. It sounds like those are being worked on now, but it was disappointing to be paying for Ultra for half a year without those.
The other concern, though was that changes in Lemmy itself left Sync either broken or missing features. It was in fairly minor ways (although "scaled" sorting was definitely missed), but I worry that in the future something will change that breaks it in a more drastic way, and if we're getting five-month gaps in the development of Sync, that's a long time for it to be broken.
Don't get me wrong, I think Sync is the best Lemmy app out there, and I'd rather use it than anything else, but the big justification behind the price increase had been that it was going to receive more constant development, and so far that doesn't seem to have been the case.
I'm a little at the mercy of the lemmy devs for push notifications and didn't want to spam their servers but it's still ongoing.
Saved categories is nearly ready to go though.
Is it just the scaled sort too? I'd totally missed that but it's coming in today's release. The last release was in Dec which added full 19 support aside from that. Sorry I missed it.
