Either pay for it or use a free app like Thunder.
I've been using Thunder for over a week in protest of Sync's dev walking out on us mid conversation and not saying a thing or looking at any bugs for four month. "Us" being the people who paid good money for the app ($20 dollars), who test the betas, write bug reports on github, and participate on Discord.
He left us with bugs that crash the app, broken markdown, uneditable titles, and more very basic things. He rushed out a minorly tweaked version of Sync for Reddit, took our money, then bailed.
And when he comes back everyone's sniffing his butt and wagging their tails like they're so happy to see him! But he left us out to dry for four months.
I'd like to see an open source app eclipse Sync in every way so no one has to be forced to choose between not using a great Lemmy client, paying $20, or suffering horrible ads.
Thunder is pretty great right now. And if the main dev or devs walk away, someone else can pick up the reigns. And it's completely free.
So I'm giving Thunder a real try and reporting bugs and offering suggestions.
Try jerboa and voyager while at it
Voyager isn't anywhere near as customizable as Thunder. I gave it a shot and almost immediately uninstalled it. I haven't tried Jerboa since the mass reddit exodus. It was pretty bad back then and had very unintuitive user switching.
If your looking for customisation you should try eternity you can't even fully customize it under an hour its insane.
Is there a manual on how to setup post filters? ๐
I tried putting "Elon" in either the include and exclude box (wasn't sure which one it should be) and neither will filter a post with "Elon" in the title.
Thanks for the tip! I'll try it out.
