I used Sync for about a year or two, switched to Summit after Sync was abandoned by its dev, and Summit has been pretty much the same experience as Sync for me

Voyager has most of them. Not sure about redgifs.

Boost for Lemmy does all of those except for the zoom function on videos.

If you mention this feedback in the Summit community, it's entirely possible it may get addressed in a future update. The dev is super responsive and seems open to feature requests.

About the first option, some clients use webview to show the videos instead of a native player and you see the history in the browser.

I am using summit also but it does not zoom videos and overlay the videos control on top of the video. It may seems like nothing but a common situation is seem a landscape video and I don't like to keep rotating the screen so I usually just zoom in. And the controls take up the hole vídeo.

I landed on Summit after getting fed up with Sync being abandoned and broken. For me it's the best app by far.

I am not sure what you mean by the first option.

Summit has some points you mentioned here. Piefed is also supported.

I also landed on Summit, only thing that comes close in my opinion and the best app for Lemmy/Piefed at the moment.

Sync is now unsynced by the dev, find a new app to use.

Sync has unfortunately been abandoned by the developer. Even if you're able to find a solution for this particular problem, it still might be worth checking out other apps so you'll have a few options in mind once Sync breaks completely at some point down the road.

I personally ended up swapping to Summit; it feels a lot like Sync and the dev is very responsive. But there are a lot of good options to choose from!

It should be working in Connect

Summit is what I moved to after sync. It makes me pretty sad because I used sync for reddit and it was perfect but the port to lemmy left a sour taste. I used it until I realized the client was the cause of my issues

I gave the dev some leeway because they were known to go afk but then come back with an update that was "worth" the wait. This time feels like a complete cash grab and I'm not at all about that so moved on

Summit was the closest client I found to sync and was a super easy transition. I tried a few others but Summit is what stuck

That's a good workaround, that I also use. But it would be nice if it could be fixed!

I guess some gif providers do stuff to prevent direct gif links.

Tap the tree dots for Post Options and then tap where the arrow points in the pic I link.

I have the same issue with other apps. Voyager, Boost in android and iOS.

Thanks for the rec. Been using Summit for about a month now and I love it.

Yeah I guess so haha.

Updated my 2 star to 1.

He took those lifetime subs, invested them, and promptly retired. Our only chance now is the economy going so upside down that he's forced to start working again.

I like Summit.

I'm right there with you, lol. What's the general consensus on Lemmy apps these days?

Hey, maybe this will get @ljdawson@lemmy.world attention

Ha, this community has everything, including the kitchen sink! 😀

Yeah this sucks. Loved the dev and the app back on reddit. I paid to remove ads and never had another update. Fucking sucks. I wish he would at least say something!

That's odd I can still save images..
