    Oh wow! Long time no see! I’m definitely glad to hear that, but I know I’m not that only one who’s been frustrated by the silence and lack of updates. Can you speak to concerns as to the future development of Sync for Lemmy?

      Was there something in particular you wanted me to work on?

        Obviously the big things were the advertised Ultra features which were still missing. It sounds like those are being worked on now, but it was disappointing to be paying for Ultra for half a year without those.
        The other concern, though was that changes in Lemmy itself left Sync either broken or missing features. It was in fairly minor ways (although “scaled” sorting was definitely missed), but I worry that in the future something will change that breaks it in a more drastic way, and if we’re getting five-month gaps in the development of Sync, that’s a long time for it to be broken.
        Don’t get me wrong, I think Sync is the best Lemmy app out there, and I’d rather use it than anything else, but the big justification behind the price increase had been that it was going to receive more constant development, and so far that doesn’t seem to have been the case.

          I’m a little at the mercy of the lemmy devs for push notifications and didn’t want to spam their servers but it’s still ongoing.

          Saved categories is nearly ready to go though.

          Is it just the scaled sort too? I’d totally missed that but it’s coming in today’s release. The last release was in Dec which added full 19 support aside from that. Sorry I missed it.
