I don’t mean to sound like entitled or anything but I happily and immediately paid $20 for this app when it came out. And there were a ton of updates and now it has completely stopped. And while that worked for sybc before with Reddit. It’s not acceptable here with how often Lemmy is upgrading and changing. This app is almost unusable with how many small things are beginning to get broken. Just look through this community to see everyone complaining about the various bugs and issues that are now cropping up with. Lemmy me upgrades. A month ago the developer posted about a beta that almost no one has access to and we have heard nothing since. Really don’t appreciate this tbh. And I’m considering cutting my losses all together here as there are other apps that are developing way more and that i would rather support

    Yeah, this was a good platform and model for reddit because it was mostly stable, lemmy is rapidly changing and evolving.

      This is my biggest issue here. And it also worked fine with how much cheaper the app was before. I didn’t mind him working on this as a side project. But between subscriptions and large fees, I just don’t understand how we’ve seen a total lack of development or pause on development here, especially when we’re reaching such a juncture where there are broken things about this app.

      Imo its kinda fucked to have a subscription model but not be updated even semi close to often.

      It’s also relatively tiny so a bit unreasonable to expect things to be updated daily.

      I’m not really seeing any major issues anyway - what is so broken that OP is so annoyed about? Only thing im aware of is the Instances button not working, which yeah that’s true. Not really a major issue though?

        Go ahead and look at this community and all the other posts about broken issues. And look at how much more have been cropping up as lemmy gets further and farther along with being updated but sync does not

        Another small issue is that search for communities doesnt work unless the community you search for is already loaded in the list.

        Yeah the app is not broken whatsoever… It is very steady if you ask me, I’m only missing the newest sort types, for that we can use another app in the meanwhile… We have plenty and we should be glad that we have a lot of alternatives and that we don’t have Spez here.

          You can actually use Scaled sort on your frontpage in Sync, though it is a little finicky. If you select Scaled as your default sorting method on the webUI in a browser it will work properly when you open Sync. If you switch to another sort while using Sync you have to restart the app to get back to Scaled, though, since it doesn’t appear in the list.
