The upgrade was successfully completed at around 16:27 UTC, but we're still fighting with some performance issues after the upgrade. Our database and the outbound federation container are currently using significantly higher CPU than expected, which is still being investigated to identify the root cause.
there are various mentioned in [email protected], the main one i was referring to was the one where in some cases posts in local communities won't show comments.
Biggest problem for me is that posts no longer show as read. Makes it almost completely unusable. I switched to Voyager and canceled my premium Sync subscription.
For me Sync has been broken since long ago (proud Summit user now), my instance has always been updated faster than .world though, so I can't really pinpoint since which version I started having issues with it.
I used sync for reddit for years, but I kinda hope sync dies. But I also have an axe to grind with the dev after they invalidated the app purchases and made people buy it again to not have ads. Plus their inability to update on a regular basis is kinda terrible, and has continued. One of the top posts on the sync community when I checked was to not report PMs because it will actually report a random comment with the same ID, which is just a massive fuck up given the amount of spam PMs.
they invalidated the app purchases and made people buy it again to not have ads.
Exactly. Not even a discount. I think it was even more expensive than the reddit version.
I just checked. It's $20 to remove ads. Wow.
I also checked to see how much it cost for the reddit version. I paid $4 to remove ads and $5 for the "pro" version. That's more than I've paid for any app. Now they want another $20 to remove ads on an app they neglect and ignore their customers? Disgusting.
Plus their inability to update on a regular basis is kinda terrible, and has continued.
Not just continued, but has gotten worse. Additionally, it's even more important to update more frequently because of the more frequent changes. It was also never fully functional for Lemmy. For example, spoilers have never worked.
To add to all that, they don't even have the decency to pop in for a quick comment or two just to help people feel better.
Wow that's a lot of salt for someone trying to value their work higher. Maybe just use a different app? Ironically I was a pro user on Reddit and have never been forced to upgrade on Lemmy as it has never shown me a single ad despite the fact that I would in heartbeat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , I have never had issues with any Sync app and I've been a user since...I dunno 2013?
I do agree that JDLawson has become more reclusive but he was never all that interactive with the community to be honest. I don't see that updates or stability of the app has really been an issue. Any time I have had problems they have always been native to Lemmy.
Former Sync user of around 5 years. Recently switched to summit and it was a pretty easy transition. I've made plenty of rants about how the Dev just abandons paying customers and I finally had enough once I knew that it actually messes things up if you try to report some things.
I can't make any other app look and feel as nice as Sync, honestly. I was trying out Thunder just now, and maybe I could get used to it but the user avatars don't work for some reason. I don't disagree about ljdawson though and I wish it was different.
