The 0.19.4 release also broke marking posts as read in Sync for Lemmy. Although this isn’t really something we consider a blocker, it’s still worth mentioning, as there are still a lot of Sync for Lemmy users out there that haven’t noticed this issue yet if they’re only active on Lemmy.World. Over the last 2 weeks we’ve had nearly 5k active Sync for Lemmy users . This is unfortunately something that will break during the upgrade, as the API has changed in upstream Lemmy.
As someone who used sync on reddit for many years, I switched to Summit a few weeks ago and it’s great. This post comparing a lot of lemmy apps made me finally take the plunge: https://lemmy.world/post/18159531
Thanks for suggesting summit - I’ve tried many but never felt like they clicked. Summit feels nice- it has many of the same features, you can customise how posts look (even the width of cards!)
Thanks for this. Summit is great. Smooth, clean, has gesture support that’s similar to sync.
I didnt even realize the “empty comments” was a sync issue and not a lemmy issue. Looks like its time to move on.
Same for me. I used Sync since switching to Lemmy but this issue with marking as read is a deal breaker for me. Especially since I actually paid for Sync. Now on Summit and I’m very satisfied. I highly recommend everyone checking it out!
