Everyone should know that, very often, they are just wrong. And that’s ok. We all are.
The more ready you are to really accept that you could be wrong about anything, and admit when you are wrong about something, the better you will make your own life, as well as the lives of those around you.

I started out as “oh that’s a neat idea, I should play around with it” and now, just a month or so later, I depend on it almost daily.
Just one example: My family was on vacation and my wife asked if I remembered how long our next planned activity would take. Of course I don’t remember, but because I was using Anytype as a scratch pad for picking out our vacation activities (this was weeks prior), I was able to pull up the answer on my phone in less than 10 seconds - even though I had no internet or cell service at the time.
Having not come from Notion, Obsidian, or any other related software, there was a bit of a learning curve for me. But now I can’t help but keep dumping information into it.
It all still works great for me across all my devices (Linux, Synology NAS, Mac, and iOS) plus it looks like their community forums are still active, and they have packages for Synology DSM 7, which is relatively new. The last iOS app update was 2022, but maybe that’s just a sign that it is stable and doesn’t need frequent updates?
I wonder if you were using their old software called BitTorrent Sync. At some point they did a rebranding, and it could have left you with an abandoned client that stopped working, maybe? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bummer that it’s not working for you. It’s definitely one of my favorite apps.
Resilio Sync is fully cross-platform P2P app for syncing files/folders: https://www.resilio.com/individuals/
I’ve been using it for years and love it.
Edit: Sorry, it’s not FOSS. My bad for not reading the question thoroughly.
Anything done by Michel Gondry, but this is a favorite: https://youtu.be/gLESpHrtvxs?si=zdeITwz-fe29LJlU
I just can’t imagine how much time was spent making that.
