I've been using Sync for at least three years, and I've been a vocal advocate of the app, but I don't feel right paying for ad free anymore.

I am unable to transfer my paid account to my new phone and yet Google continues to take out my $2.13 every month. I understand everyone needs time away sometimes but I don't see how LJD feels right accepting people's money while providing ZERO support for months on end, and never bothering to at least appoint a maintainer in his absence.

I see issues piling up with this app and I'm forced to look at ads while LJD does whatever he wants and takes my money. I feel stupid that I've been paying this man for years to provide a good experience just to be taken for a ride like this.

I had bought the lifetime pro back in the Reddit days, I paid for pro subscription while using Lemmy, and at this point I'm just done. I hate writing this post because I've been a happy, continual premium user of this app for literally years, but there's only so much I can handle.

Obligatory LJD tends to disappear intermittently before coming back with a major update. I'm not saying that you should be happy with it, but as a longtime sync user I've come to accept it because homie always comes back with a banger update, historically.

We are getting dangerously close to a full year of absence this time.

I appreciate that and I've been using Sync since 2019, it isn't like I'm brand new to the app or his proclivities. I don't think this is a good excuse for completely abandoning maintenance and user issues for months on end with zero accountability for it, just because every so often he does a big update.

I was fine with that until I realized Lemmy is relatively young software and breaking changes will come up.

I was having this issue, the solution was to go into my profile settings on the instance it's made on, and select literally every single language. So far, it's fixed it.
