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 ๐ฅน
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 ๐ค

As someone who used Sync exclusively in the reddit days (and uses it here as well), while the dev is generally open to suggestions, he tends to take loooooong breaks, even between betas.
That means bugfixes and features do eventually come, but sometimes not before someone has moved onto something else with more active development. The funny thing is that when those updates do come, they come in speeding. Like multiple updates per day on some occasions.
