If you come across something that doesn't work pop it here

Evening all.

I've created a status page to monitor all services I maintain to run Sync for Lemmy.

There's not too many at the moment but will keep updating as I create new APIs etc.

Cheers, Lj

Hey everyone.]

So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).

I'm gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you're having that I should know about or any new feature requests.

Sorry for the bad comms but I'm making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.

Cheers, Lj

I'm honestly surprised, but Lemmy 1.0 is closer and closer. I'm using it, 'till it works.

I already made this post a year ago, and indeed: Sync has been left to die, and we have been scammed.

Please give Sync a bad rating so unsuspecting users don't use, or even worse buy, an abandoned app.

Sometimes picture will show with the error on top of it, sometimes it won't show at all, just the error.

Having a little anxiety here because this is by far the best app. I purchased a lifetime Ultra membership and it wasn't until I replaced my phone and couldn't restore it, did I find out the developer hasn't updated or posted in 2 years. (Somehow the Ultra got restored a couple days later).

I really hope the dev continued this, or issues a statement regarding the status. I also would pay for a version for Reddit (yeah I know, I just can't quit that completely yet)

Edit: thanks for the responses. So far, Voyager seems to be the closest to Sync and best alternative for me. Really sucks the dev just abandon this.

Trying to log in to my account here on lemmy.zip. I input the correct login details and I get a banner at the bottom that says "Invalid login".

I've successfully tested the credentials on lemmy.zip itself, and also Boost (which I'm using now). Both work fine.

Any idea what this issue could be? Love the look of Sync so will be disappointed if I can't use it :(

When scrolling through sync, theres an ad that makes an audible pop sound the moment its scrolled on, as if it were trying to play sound and it got the first millisecond or so out before the mute was applied. Its really annoying and i only started noticing it in the past couple days

That and no other app I have tried (most, if not all) seem to feature the level of post density I am used to.

I want my app to feel like old reddit did when I first joined (long before there was a new reddit).

Example:

Does any other app match that level of post density?

I was able to as recently as yesterday. Has this happened to anyone else?

I know at this point the app is pretty much abandoned, but I've never needed too many features so have continued to use it. But not saving posts is a breaking point.

I like many among you loved sync and am frustrated with the bugs and lack of updates. It seems LJ has all but abandoned the app, so I did some looking around on the business of sync apps Ltd and can see from public records in the UK that he is keeping the business up to date. So it seems he is fine with collecting passive income from ad revenue.

@[email protected] please just open source this app so the community can fix these bugs.

I myself have moved to thunder, very similar UX, lots of customization, and it's open source.

Title. I switched to a new phone and logged in, I cannot restore my purchases for Sync Pro to remove ads.

I seem to encounter this often while using Sync, and have so for the past couple of years. Not sure why it's taken until now to ask about it. The issue is always as shown here. I'll open a post, even one that I've interacted with and have received replies, but despite my efforts I can't get it to actually display the comments. This seems to happen completely at random, and perhaps as often as 1 in 8 posts. Comments work completely fine elsewhere.

Clicking "View post" via the prompt at the bottom makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Israel's Foreign Affairs has uploaded a video in multiple languages to their YouTube channel and I saw it as an ad on @syncforlemmy

"Israel is now facilitating record levels of humanitarian aid into Gaza."

The video ends with "Smiles don't lie. Hamas does."

That feels real.

I'm guessing the whole video is AI generated.

Anyone else gotten the below error or have any ideas?
