You can support FOSS devs, too.

When there's a FOSS app as good as sync, sure.

As a former infinity user, "Infinity for Lemmy" was the one I'm waiting for. And now I have it

I've tried all the Android reddit apps. Infinity is fine, I just prefer Sync's UI/UX.

Honestly, there are three right now on Android.

Thunder

Connect

Liftoff

I'm currently using Liftoff more than the others, but every week I'm seeing huge positive changes being made to all of these. Jerboa is an honorable mention, as I don't think we can log in to that yet.

I like the feel of sync, but the fonts are a little small, and there comments in threads are hard to differentiate compared to the apps above.

This is all just subjective opinion but I've been using connect for weeks and I bigly prefer Sync

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I've never had any trouble logging in with Jerboa. It'd be my favorite app but it has framerate issues on my device, so I'm using Thunder.

Why make this comment? They didn't say they weren't going to.

[–] Vanshaj@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They are in more need of it.

Literally zero FOSS apps that are even half as good as Sync.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eh, Infinity for Lemmy is.

Although it's in alpha and theirfor there many bugs, but feature wise it might be even better than Sync

[–] thimantha@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I was switching between Voyager, Infinity and Thunder until Sync got released. None of those even come close to the User Experience of Sync. It's not even the bugs, it's the interface and the UX.
