Wow that would be amazing. I loved Sync. I just hope a toxic community doesn't drive him away again.

Is Lemmy toxic? I feel like all its shortcomings it’s far from toxic.

The Sync community turned toxic when the dev implemented an updated UI a couple years ago. The new UI was beautiful and much more in line with the evolving visual design of Android, but the average user hates change. The dev version spent a while on the new UI while it was being refined, but the free/pro version was not upgraded until I want to say probably a year or more later, the developer having gone radio silent for a while under all the criticism.
