There's one that costs money and hasnt been updated in years. I can't remember it's name though. It was a big deal when it came out.

Sync for Lemmy has a paid version that gets rid of ads. Its developer was one of the most vocal when Reddit started charging developers for access to their API. Sync for Reddit was one of the most popular third-party Reddit apps before then.

Its developer is also absent all the time. They poke their head in every few months, fix a bunch of problems, then disappear into the nether for an indeterminate amount of time.

I actually switched to Voyager because I was annoyed at how difficult it was to get anything fixed on Sync. And of course, Voyager is free.

That's right it's sync! Yup that's exactly the one i was thinking of. Thanks

Voyager is donations only. I donate to it every time a thread like this comes up in the wild.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, and that's completely fine. There's nothing wrong with donations.
