Changes

  • Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
  • Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)

    In theory, yes he is. Longtime fans of Sync for Reddit will tell you that this is normal and he works in sporadic bursts, but accomplishes a lot in the times he is actively working on his projects.

    That being said, I don’t know that there has been any official word about it. Just people saying that 3 months - or longer - breaks are normal for @ljdawson@lemmy.world. Please correct me if I’m wrong!

    People have been asking this for months now. It’d be cool to get an updated status, but I doubt it’ll happen (until he’s actually back). We just have to deal with the broken features (and all the issues tracked in GitHub).

      First sentence sums me up perfectly. Intense working + winter blues = burnout this time around but I’m back and just trying to make my way through a few months of posts + messages.

      Todays release is just a quick hotfix for the crash but hoping to release a fairly big update soon.

      Thanks for the patience.
