This is my last month of Sync Ultra sub. It's only a few bucks a month and Sync is relatively polished but I rather the money go towards a actively developed app.
Maybe. I don't know why he does it. It's been some health stuff I seem to remember in the back of my head, but other than that he seems to prefer big updates. Don't take it as me trying to excuse anything though. I personally don't think it's a problem but I do understand those that do.
For me if I try to open them in browser, it shows this error:
{"error":{"code":"FileAccessDenied","message":"Access to this file was denied for your application.","status":403,"rtfm":"https://github.com/Redgifs/api/wiki/Embedding-gifs#file-access"},"docs":"https://github.com/Redgifs/api/wiki/Embedding-gifs#file-access"}
Hmm by that last link it looks like sync isn't on the list of whitelisted sites. Granted, it's not a site, but an app. Seems like we need some kind of authorisation.
I had that issue a month or so ago, so I switched to Boost. It's not the same, but there's enough settings to customize it and make it close enough. Kinda a bummer, I've used Sync for many years, but Lemmy is evolving fast enough to require an actively maintained app.
If Sync starts getting regular updates again, I would probably switch back.
I frequently have that problem with redgifs on the website too. Even when I go directly to redgifs. Just earlier today, I was browsing and more than half the gifs I was trying to view failed to load, or were very slow to load. I've been having this same problem with redgifs for as long as redgifs has been a thing. I don't think the issue is with Sync, but with redgifs.
Yes, many users are facing this. Try clearing your browser cache, disabling extensions, or switching to incognito mode—often fixes it. Server-side issues can also be the cause.

Yeah. It's starting to look like Sync is being ignored or abandoned

He usually disappears for a while. Pretty normal.
M137@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y
People keep saying that but it's been 3½ months now and there are many problems that need to be fixed.

I agree that is a problem, I'm just saying that it's normal and it doesn't mean the app is abandoned.
cyn@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y
Maybe not abandoned, but neglected, yes...

Ive been having issues where a lot of videos just straight up dont work
theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 12 pts · 2y
I use connect and not sync and have been having issues with a lot of videos too so I don't think it is just a problem with sync specifically
FlaminGoku@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 2y
Eternity same issue.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 2y
Anything other than pictures has trouble. Gifs in the past few days have been worse than normal.

I get a lot of messages about glide failing to load when trying to view gifs as well.

Lots of them pop open in Safari with an error. I can’t recall the exact text but it’s something about RTFM with regard to imbedding.

Okay. No horny on main here, but what gif isn't loading? You throw out redgifs you gotta own up.
