I've been using Sync for a while, but it repeatedly hits an error when I try to submit posts to Beehaw. I have not tried other instances, but I am assuming this issue is specific to Sync. Getting really sick of drafting posts and then having to discard them because the app errors out 🤦

Liftoff... but I wouldn't recommend it.

It hasn't been updated in a long while, it has some even larger missing features, and some extra bugs.

Sync... was actually one of the few to update for some Beehaw-apecific bugs some time ago, you might want to contact the developer with your issues.

I keep it as a bav6for when Liftoff fails, the draft feature is pretty nice, and it has better search.

I'm surprised you're able to continue using Liftoff at all. It doesn't work what-so-ever with any instance (like you can't log in) on any version of Lemmy beyond 0.19. I finally retired using it when my primary instance updated.

Yeah... Beehaw is still on 0.18.4, guess my days of using Liftoff are coming to an end sooner or later.

Beehaw won't update so you are fine

Ride that pony as long as you can, friend. I still hope that the dev will come back 🥹

Looking into it, seems like Liftoff is a fork of Lemmur, which was a nlnet project [1] that got archived "due to lack of interest and political differences" a few months after the funding ended. Can't find who's now in charge of the Liftoff org on GitHub, so it's hard to tell who should come back 🤔
