Ljdawson we need you now more than ever, you’re our only hope!
Just waiting for Google to publish…
Holy shit! I’m glad you’re back!
I’m excited to see what’s in the update.
It would be really nice if you didn’t abandon your paying customers for months though.
I don’t deal well with winter months… But I’m back now
Totally understandable. That’s me during the summer and I get emails asking if I’m dead.
yeah. The crash is a little too toxic rn.
Hopefully once the problematic content is a little further down my feed I’ll be able to go back to Sync, but until then Voyager is good enough.
Not seeing whatever others are that cause the crash.
Go to the other thread in this community titled “anyone run across a post that crashes sync?” and then just scroll down into the comments, and your client should crash.
I just did that and it absolutely crashed without fail. It’s like the worst ARG ever but still fun to see.
Fix should be live within the next hour or so.
I kind of love how we sync users are sort of like the OT Israelites wandering the desert and losing faith, then you periodically pop up and are like, “bros… relax. I was just gone a couple weeks and y’all lost your goddamn minds”
Ha. Yeah the last few months have gone by way too quickly.
I’ve been working in the background but haven’t been very good at keeping up with comms this time. But I’m back and working through everything.
Yeah the giant tiktok ad at the top of every post for a poorly supported client is the nail in the coffin for me.
Does anyone else just use the website? I feel like people don’t even mention it as an option.
On desktop yeah, but on mobile it’s much nicer to use an app.
I’ve never felt that. 95% of my lemmy usage is on mobile and I use the site. What benefits do the apps offer?
The big one for me is not losing my place in the feed when I hit back from reading the comments on a post. That makes the web ui pretty much unusable for me on mobile, I get constantly thrown back to the top of my feed.
Oh god yeah they need to fix this
Try jerboa, eternity, voyager, thunder, etc. OP . Time to join the FOSS side.
I’ve tried them all, didn’t like them :( Sync just has the most polished UX imho and it’s hard to leave it when I’ve been on it for years.
What device do you use ?
Z Fold 3. It’s really about the dense layout though and the amount of spacing / font sizes / everything.
If you tried it a while ago do try now too because the difference is day and night i would reccomend going to izzy and trying all of them and go to playstore or github for racoon.
It was actually just last week. I installed all the lemmy apps I could find and spent 30 minutes on each one seeing if I liked it and could customize it the way I want.
“izzy”? Racoon wasn’t on my list, I’ll give it a whirl.
Izzyondroid repo here : https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/ go there and search lemmy that should bring up a lot of options . Yea racoon as of now is only available on github and playstore if you want link i can help
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll give it a try!
