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.
Here is a comment I made in a relevant thread, where they discuss sync (here: https://lemmy.world/comment/14130358)
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
TLDR: A lot of formatting is messed up on sync.
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 am using sync
Me too but it's semi-broken right now and hasn't had an update in a long time. I really don't want to switch, though.
Semi-broken? It seems to be working fine for me. Am I missing something?
There's a major incompatibility with newer versions of the Lemmy software where Sync shows a comment count but cannot display the comments. So at the moment I can't see any comments from posts hosted on sh.itjust.works. I know that there's other less severe issues too (I think spoilers are semi-broken in some instances).

Thunder is my preferred client, with jerboa being second
Honestly thunder is perfect aside from being a tad slow to load sometimes. And it seems to have a little more tendency to experience network issues, but the UI is everything I could ask for
Jerboa might be my favorite if it showed full size link previews since I usually engage visually before I engage with text
Yeah, one of the big fears with moving to a small platform like Lemmy was that the apps wouldn't be nearly as good the Reddit ones, but Thunder is just genuinely fantastic.

Another endorsement of Thunder here. Just works, no bloat.
Memmy was how I first got into Lemmy. Feels bad that it doesn’t exist anymore.
I can't believe it's now gone. It was the best ios app that existed back then.
Wait what I’m sitting here using Memmy lol. I guess I should move on? Why is it dead?
lol same
It hasn't been updated in a while though it might work okay on the older instances like baraza.africa
IIRC it isn’t being updated anymore, the App Store listing is gone. I remember the devs posting something about burnout in the past and I’m assuming they didn’t have the time and energy to keep going on it.
I notice there are only 5 gravestones because Sync is just mysteriously vanished, possibly not dead
That's accurate since Sync could come back with an large update since the last patch was on Mar 26, 2024.
I'm using Sync now. I think we're used to the occasional hibernation.
Also still using sync. Works great! I honestly hadn't noticed there wasn't an update since my phone is so old that I rarely get updates for anything anymore.

Mlem is alive and kicking!
We haven't received a stable update in a while but the github repository has been very busy for the final push towards 2.0! The last commit was 5 hours ago 🔥
I’m pretty keen to see how 2.0 shapes up. I’ve been waiting for stable release before jumping across.

Where Boost?
Boost was more recently updated on July 14, 2024.
I'm still using it. Now, some activity would be very much appreciated. Or, if there is no new development, the source code. But it's still the app I prefer to use.
Boost was my favourite client to use back on the reddit days. I migrated to lemmy before boost was announced for lemmy, but man it's a big help having it.

Eternity (infinity fork) is still around, but I've been using voyager myself.
Eternity has been great all year.
i was a baconreader guy for the loooongest time.
I actually found out about this a few days ago. I suddenly kept getting errors and found out the app i used, Boost, hadn't been updated in almost a year... Now running Voyager. How did i not notice? No idea.

Sync is dead? Wasn't that the paid service one?
From what I’ve read the dev just vanished but it’s still up. The paid one. I don’t use it tho
It was the same back in the Reddit days as well. We're used to it at this point
