Why are people posting sinks on the syncforlemmy community ?

Today I opened up lemmy and noticed a bunch of posts about sinks on that community

SyncForLemmy --> Sink for Lemmy

Ah just checked, maybe it's because the mods haven't checked in with the community in a while and it's a joke about being abandoned. From what I remember, even on Reddit the dev would disappear for some time and then come back with a big update?

If they ARE gone, there are a lot of Lemmy apps available that are receiving regular updates. Boost, Connect, and Eternity might be a similar feeling to Sync
- "Devs have abandoned us, post sinks"
- > receiving regular updates
  > Eternity
  
  Two different things.
  
  I haven't tried Eternity in a while, but I understand there are nightly builds you could be using/helping test for faster updates.
- They're not gone, they just take regular breaks for months at a time.
  
  Just about the same thing IMO. This app has ads you need to pay to remove, essentially making it a paid app. The dev(s) should not disappear for months at a time and not expect to be called out for the cash grab.
- Yea I used Sync for Reddit, way happier with Thunder for Lemmy.
  
  I’m on Voyager. I quite like it.
The main perpetrator can't get redgifs to load inside the app, presumably because of some change on the redgifs side. In a fit of sexual frustration, they are trying to bring attention to this bug by spamming the sub.
- lol coward wouldn't post the gif earlier, let's see what couldn't wait, unleash the link
  
  No redgif works, and it has been this for a very long time. Usually you could visit the site, but it is tedious. Now you get an info that sync is doing embedding wrong, so redgifs isn't sending any content.
Because that's the limit of their creativity. Sync=sink
- Step one is to start simple but outside the box.
- I'm rooting we go Arkhamasylum and get weird
- Aww, I was hoping it was some sort of mass migration from Xitter where they made fun of Elmo's dumb "Let that sink in" joke. (As in letting the sink and everyone attached into their instance).
I need a sink for my mid-century bathroom and they're helping me out with suggestions.
- They're seriously posting some pretty awesome sink designs over there. I like this nautilus one
  
  And as you can see at the bottom of that screenshot, the post is no longer available, because as of this moment, all of those sink posts have been removed. Apparently the moderators have woken up.
  
  Thank you. I was quite proud of that one.
- Just put in an extra toilet. Super efficient, has plenty of water in it.
Sync

Sink

Is joke.
What else would you post in a sync community?
- The mod/dev doesnt respond to actual requests, so this is what the sub has finally resorted to.
  
  Well, they removed my post about the weird Google ad for scummy app that turns any photo nude, including teenagers and children.
