It's a shame you gave up on us.

Must have made decent money with the price. I know I'm not paying for an app that's been out of date for so long. So he's lost my ultra renewal, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Prompted me to give Jerboa a go after some time. I think it's useable enough now to switch over and stick with.

It's still massively behind sync in several areas obviously but it has most everything. Be good to have more UI options and a few other conveniences but the big stuff is there.

I did hedge on sync, just ad blocking the free version as the pro prices seemed a bit gouge-y but bear in mind the guy had his whole side hustle swiped away from him in a gross and upsetting manner!

Replying from it now! Pretty nice!

Now try Summit!

Lemmy's growth has stagnated but it will persist. Trust in LJD (the Sync dev) will not.

Best part of this community is watching the seven stages of grief in users who paid for lifetime lmao

I moved on to Boost. It's sad but Sync was already too broken.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Boost and Sync were my favorites for Reddit... I wonder why Sync is in a very broken state but Boost isn't ๐Ÿค” (both don't update often).

I'd be happy with it if only it kept marking as read the posts on scroll... Like come on, I am not a code guy, but I am aware it only requires a single code line to fix.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

It might be a single line to fix, but there's a deployment and publishing pipeline that we don't necessarily know how it works.. not saying it's impossible, just saying that it's slightly more involved than just a single line

Yeah, was searching for this, how to enable and why it wasn't working. Ugh!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It doesn't, my favorite apps for Lemmy at the moment:

  1. Summit
  2. Boost
  3. Voyager
  4. Eternity

They all have said features (and a button to clean read posts).

Strange, that still works for me. If it stopped working I'd switch as well

Edit: Settings shortcut: History > Mark posts as read on scroll

It is an instance thing, although I thought lemmy.world was updated to the version when this change was implemented server side.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Which was that? They're still on 0.19.3
