Where did the dust settle on Syncthing Fork? (lemmy.ca)

Hey folks! I know a while back there was a kerfuffle because syncthing-fork for Android went dark, and then a new person showed up and claimed everything was cool and they'd been privately given the keys or something, and people were concerned. I pinned my fdroid version to the at-that-time-current release until we got clarity.

Well, it's been a while and I just noticed I'm still on that old release. So... how'd it turn out? Do we like the new person yet? Is there a promising fork y'all are using? Or is the project dead? I'm sure I could just go look at the repo, but I'm also sure the repo would tell me "yeah, we're all cool" no matter what, so I'm curious what the community feelings are. Have there even been any useful new releases since then?

Thanks!

Yeah, I kinda held on to the old version for a while too TBH, syncthing-fork had a problem where I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it, so I'd gone back to syncthing, then with all the kerfuffle, I just stayed there.

Some time earlier this year I tentatively upgraded 1 phone and a tablet (it's used as slideshow screensaver...) and it all seems to work ok.

The GUI isn't quite as good as the native webUI, but it's still accessible, so all's good.

There was a change in the syncthing "DB" a while ago, so it might take a while to rescan things if you have a lot of small files, but feel confident to change.
