The 0.19.4 release also broke marking posts as read in Sync for Lemmy. Although this isn’t really something we consider a blocker, it’s still worth mentioning, as there are still a lot of Sync for Lemmy users out there that haven’t noticed this issue yet if they’re only active on Lemmy.World. Over the last 2 weeks we’ve had nearly 5k active Sync for Lemmy users . This is unfortunately something that will break during the upgrade, as the API has changed in upstream Lemmy.

    Also just extremely rude… Everyone would understand if he puts out a short message like “busy with work for the next few months”. Randomly leaving for months while people pay for something you make is crazy.

        Sure we don’t, but as a long time subscriber on reddit then Lemmy, who doesn’t even need the ultra features but wanted to support the dev, I’ve been feeling bamboozled for a few months now…

          Dude saw the project of his life absolutely destroyed by Reddit. I can understand he just wants to move to the next chapter of his life.

          Sure a bit of communication is always appreciated but it’s already pretty cool he ported the app to Lemmy.

            Yeah, no. That doesn’t hold water when you’re actively accepting payments for an app on a new platform but not maintaining it for long periods of time.

            He didn’t move on with his life. He ported sync to lemmy, dramatically increased the pricing model, and now seems to go AWOL for extended periods of time often resulting in broken functionality.
