Still using Sync here, what exactly am I missing out on? Tried voyager years ago but coming from Reddit and using Sync for that, it was a pretty natural jump.
It hasn’t been updated in quite awhile, and I have heard some Lemmy features are still broken - I think some types of inline images and markdown mainly, and some upcoming api changes may break it completely in the nearish future.
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
I was in the same boat; I’ve been using sync for years. Recently, I’ve definitely noticed issues with certain instances and comment sections. Search was also completely broken. According to what I’ve read, it appears to be a version mismatch issue. Since sync hasn’t been updated in a year, I’ve cancelled my subscription and moved over to Summit.
I’ll have you know that I switched to thunder because of your comment. Perhaps I had customized Sync a lot but it’s taking a bit getting used to the interface.

Here is a comment I made in a relevant thread, where they discuss sync (here: https://lemmy.world/comment/14130358)

TLDR: A lot of formatting is messed up on sync.

Just started using Thunder and it is a pretty easy transition from Sync.

I hope you get to like it. I’m enjoying the pace of updates, and it has close enough functionality for me to get along okay.
