Greetings lemmings

I can't seem to find a verdict on the use of syncthing fork these days.

I know there was turmoil around the repo owner changing hands, and the lack of communication around it.

Looking to see what folks are using these days for Syncthing on android.

Any and all info on this welcomed!

I still use Syncthing-Fork. It also is available in F-Droid. There are some other apps like BasicSync or SyncUp in F-Droid. Maybe you can try those.

Mostly out of the loop, I use this fork as well. Apps distributed on the F-Droid repo are OSS, built from source, and screened for malware.

If the fork is no longer maintained I expect it to be removed from the repo, that should be announced on the blog with the regular app news.

It is maintained, there is just a different lead dev.
