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!

The new owner had posted in the Syncthing forum and has catfriend1. I'm comfortable using the fork.

Hey glad to hear there are people comfortable using it and aren't still sketched out. As the communication to the change was rather alarming. And since then I had not used it, as I am one of those folks that appreciate transparency. It does build trust.

Had it been handled differently, such as Catfriend1 putting out a statement leading up to it; I would have been much less apprehensive. Granted it was catfriend1's project, and they are free to do what they see fit with their project; but it does burn trust with the folks using it if handled such as the way it was.
