So, I was lurking using sync for Lemmy and I came upon this post.

What happened to the development with these apps? I'm not that active on lemdro.id or other instances. But apps like Sync and Boost have been updated in a year or 6 months respectively. With Boost I'm not surprised Mayo tends to be slow. I was more shocked with sync. My question is do you guys have any recommendations for other Lemmy clients?

Edit Please do not harass the devs.

Edit 2: I'm testing out thunderbird.

Boost works fine

Left Sync for it, temporarily, until Sync is back to updating. It's been like this back in the Reddit years too.

I remember boost taking it's sweet time. But sync always updated more regularly.

ljdawson was always gone for months back in the day. A year is a long time, but I'm not that surprised. The only reason it's a problem is because, unlike Reddit, Lemmy isn't really stable.

Both Sync and Boost are stable apps, so to speak. But it is a problem when the site itself gets a lot of stuff updated. The app devs need to sort their schedule out tbh.

I have been testing it as well. From what I have seen it's still in the beta stage.

Voyager has been good. They just implemented a custom emoji fix to that ensures emoji are the correct size regardless of their uploaded size.

Never heard about it. What was so go about that client?

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It was the app most like reddit if fun (rif). I liked it. To me it was the most intuitive layout.

I started with liftoff then moved to connect. Has all the stuff I was used to with RIF.

I was using Etehnity, but I had some issues with it and recently started using Raccoon instead, which has been pretty good.

I started with Voyager and eventually moved to Mlem, which has given me zero issues thus far
