Have you ever considered potentially incorporating some of the highly-praised UX elements, theming capabilities, and overall user experience from Sync for Lemmy into Thunder?

Many users, including myself, have found Sync's interface and customization options to be exceptional, as well as leagues ahead of the competition (no offence).

However, there are concerns in the Sync community about Sync's closed-source nature, as well as the developer's loonngg periods of inactivity.

Given Thunder's open-source ethos and active development, do you see an opportunity to potentially fill this gap by bringing some of Sync's most loved features to Thunder, while maintaining your commitment to transparency and regular updates?

If done right, Thunder could potentially become the new Sync, but open-source, and with active updates.

I'm curious about your thoughts on this and whether it aligns with your vision for Thunder's future development.

The only thing really missing for me is being able to set different sorting methods for different contexts

For example when I'm looking at my subscriptions I sort by new. If I want to look at all of Lemmy I definitely want to sort by top or something else

Honestly that's the only thing I'm really missing from thunder

~~Try Summit. It's an open source clone of Sync. It isn't identical, but it's very close.~~
