@neil At one point you mentioned you were moving away from Nextcloud and that the reasons were a matter for another blog post [¹]. Have I missed that or is it not yet another time?

@edavies I've not written it yet :(

But the gist is that (a) sync was increasingly unreliable, and (b) I wanted smaller, simpler software.

@neil
Could I ask in what way you find the sync unreliable? I'm wondering if they match up with my experiences.

In essence, I had memcache problems (I think), and file locking issues.

@neil @jamesb @edavies happily using Nextcloud here with no memcache and apart from the moan in the admin, no issues.
