I’ve been using Sync for a while, but it repeatedly hits an error when I try to submit posts to Beehaw. I have not tried other instances, but I am assuming this issue is specific to Sync. Getting really sick of drafting posts and then having to discard them because the app errors out 🤦

Boost for Lemmy, one of the most fully fledged apps IMO due to the long dev time put into Boost for Reddit. I also just like that it’s a solo dev from Portugal, don’t care that it’s not FOSS because of this.

I wouldn’t care that much either that it’s not FOSS, however I do care that it’s filled with trackers, similarly to Boost for reddit

From what I understand they are removed from the paid version.

Isn’t that the same app (in the store), though?

Liftoff… but I wouldn’t recommend it.

It hasn’t been updated in a long while, it has some even larger missing features, and some extra bugs.

Sync… was actually one of the few to update for some Beehaw-apecific bugs some time ago, you might want to contact the developer with your issues.

I keep it as a bav6for when Liftoff fails, the draft feature is pretty nice, and it has better search.

I’m surprised you’re able to continue using Liftoff at all. It doesn’t work what-so-ever with any instance (like you can’t log in) on any version of Lemmy beyond 0.19. I finally retired using it when my primary instance updated.

Yeah… Beehaw is still on 0.18.4, guess my days of using Liftoff are coming to an end sooner or later.

Beehaw won’t update so you are fine

Ride that pony as long as you can, friend. I still hope that the dev will come back 🥹

As someone who used Sync exclusively in the reddit days (and uses it here as well), while the dev is generally open to suggestions, he tends to take loooooong breaks, even between betas.

That means bugfixes and features do eventually come, but sometimes not before someone has moved onto something else with more active development. The funny thing is that when those updates do come, they come in speeding. Like multiple updates per day on some occasions.

I use Connect. It’s perfect for me and has lots of customization options. I love it! Raccoon is good, too, I just prefer Connect.

I moved to Connect this week, coming from Liftoff and Thunder. It feels stable in an old tablet. No obvious issues yet.
