I'm still using Sync. Is there anything remotely similar out there?
Summit and Thunder are cool. Especially Summit.
Do they have the ability to swipe in and out of posts like Sync? Being able to navigate without using the back button on Android is the reason I keep using Sync so far.
Summit does. Swipe right to go back up.
Summit is the best option. It's not exactly the same - it's its own thing and not intended to be a Sync clone - but having tried like a dozen apps after finally leaving Sync behind Summit was the only one that felt right in all the ways I wanted.
It also has a very active dev, who regularly incorporates user suggestions and feature requests.
That's the thing about sync. It just feels right, somehow. And I agree. Summit is closest in that respect.
I can't seem to upvote from the feed in compact mode. Tap on thumbnail, read meme, tap back, tap vote button, go to full post page, tap upvote, tap back. Maddening.
I'm also a compact user, but I just use swipe shortcuts anyway. Short swipe to upvote, long swipe to downvote, longest swipe to reply.
Another vote for Summit. It is a little different, of course, but it's the closest I've found. The dev is also super responsive and works on the app actively.
I'm using iOS right now. I'm using Sync too, but on my Edge 40 Neo I have Summit. But it doesn't look as good as Sync. We need more Lemmy apps to bring more diversity.
