Yeah, tried sync since that was my reddit app of choice but the ads and tracking just forced me to uninstall it. Trying thunder now and it seems pretty good

Tried Sync today, it's fancy in terms of design and customization; I can see the appeal. But I think I'll stick with Connect because it's straight forward and easy to use out of the box.

I've been jumping around trying 4-5 clients since the Reddit Exodus and all of them had some really anything bug. Voyager is the one that in my opinion is the best one feature and stability wise. However, voyager if giving me one big headache in the form of going totally black if I swap over to fx read an email. I don't care if you're my Firefox needing things up. I'm not going to opt in even more in Google Surveillance just because Voyager is open source.

Sync for Reddit was my whole Reddit experience for the last 7-8 years. I think I tried a majority of the clients and Sync totally wiped the floor with the other clients in my opinion. Both in new features and stability.

I use Windows and several dists on a daily basis. I have an Android phone and I truly like the philosophy behind open source... With that said.... Competition is great. We'll see what Sync for Lemmy can bring to the table. If it is as good as sync for Reddit was the other clients have to shape up and it's us, the users, that will benefit.

This message was created with Sync for Lemmy.

Is Infinity fully compatible with foldables and tablets? Sync even has tabs for open posts (like a browser) when it's opened in tablet mode

I'll wait on sync until infinity for lemmy becomes usable, but yeah, infinity better

Infinity won't let me log in. So far I'm really liking Sync. And I'm completely fine with a subscription at it's current price. I'm happy to support devs. 8 don't like working for free. Not sure why they should have to. And so it's either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.

And so it’s either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.

Please think really hard for a moment and try to consider whether there are more ways to purchase something than by subscription or ad support.

I love Sync's theming and looks but Infinity for Lemmy is also looking promising.

[–] yoz@aussie.zone 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

This is a game changer. Infinity FTW

I like Liftoff.

It's comfy and easy to use.

The API will come soon! (seriously its being worked on if you don't know lol)

Whether we'll be using Sync when time comes is another thing lol.
