PSA: Sync for Lemmy users: please do not create reports about PMs (lemmy.ml)

24 comments fedilink hide all child comments

The latest version of Sync for Lemmy (released March 2024) has a bug where attempts to report Private Messages create reports for random comments instead - it creates a report for whatever comment has the same database ID as the private message you're trying to report (which on most instances will be a very old comment, since there are many more comments than private messages).

So: if you're using Sync for Lemmy, unless/until there is a new release of it, please refrain from reporting PMs while using it, to avoid filling instance admins' report queues with spurious reports.

There has been a bit of PM spam lately; please do report PM spam using other clients, so that admins can ban those accounts asap.

If you're interested in trying other Lemmy apps which hopefully get updates more frequently, there is a list of them here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/

The fact this is not coming from @[email protected] themselves is another big piece of evidence of their inability to maintain a good relationship or even just a good line of communication with the community and people who pay/paid for the app/subscription.

I've defended them in the past for falling short of this sort of thing in the past, but at this point it's inexcusable.

In my opinion, I think they need to hang it up and move on from Sync. They need to stop stringing people along. Or at least bring on another developer that can help move things along faster and maintain communication and expectations with the community.

I remember them disappearing for long periods during the reddit days. Was it ever a full year between updates though? I don't pretend to know ljdawson, but they've got a goose laying golden eggs here and they're keeping it locked in the basement.

I love Sync but I'm thinking about switching.

I hate to say it, but I've been using a replacement for the last month now and it's the only app that has truly been as good as Sync - Summit

It's almost a 1:1 copy. It will seem very very familiar to you right out of the box.

And yes - frequent updates and it's free

Does it have multi window support like Sync?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know - I've never used this feature on Sync. Not familiar with it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Basically long pressing a post, or feed opens it as its own seperate windowed app. So, there would be two or more syncs in recents menu.

I've spent 50/50 on Voyager now. But my muscle memory still opens Sync by default. It's tough to break what's probably 10 year old habit.

I was the same, I ended up deleting Sync to force myself to use Voyager.
