Sync isn't FOSS. It's just free.

This seems like a decent place to ask-

I'm looking for two main things, can anyone advise if any of these apps can do both of these things:

Can I swipe on post view to go to the next/prev post?

Does it track "read" posts and support hiding those posts?

For context I'm coming from Joey. Essentially, I'd like the post view or view with comments as my usual and I swipe to go to the next post. And when I go back to the list view of all posts, no "read" posts I've visited are there. And of course this carries through multiple sessions.

Is there an android client like this?

Edit: Infinity seems to work exactly how I want, after tweaking the settings a bit.

If LJ (the dev) were to make sync open source, I believe the same thing would happen to the developer of Paint.NET. Someone would just steal it and claim it as their own. That's why Paint.NET has been closed source ever since. I understand your reasoning, but the positives outweigh the negatives for me.

I saw all the announcements for Sync, and remembered that Sync for Reddit was my main app a long time ago. Couldn't recall why I switched to Infinity.

Downloaded Sync for Lemmy today, scrolled past about 4 posts before a box showed up that said "sponsored content." Now I remember why I switched.

If you purchased Sync for Reddit in the past, can you recover that purchase in the Sync for Lemmy?

Sync is very well made in my opinion it's one of the few apps out there which I truly think deserves my support.

The other apps are Free and Open Source Software. Sync is not.

Cool so I paid $20 for ads free, it's a bit expensive for a phone app, and lots of free options. I'm ok with it though let's move on from Reddit bois

I have zero problems with jerboa, but I'll give sync a try to see what everyone is so excited about.

Y'all sound real kool-aid, though.

Update 1: Not digging the bevels around every post, is there an option to disable that I haven't found?

Update 2: I know it's a small thing, but on a phone screen, that every-post bezel is making every post noticeably smaller. I'ma go back to jerboa and try sync again in a week or something after you crowd have hammered the dev with feedback.

Update 3: I don't want the top and bottom bars snapping up and down with every swipe either, that's gotta be an option right?

Peace out guys, and enjoy.

Since when is Sync claiming to be FOSS?
