Everyone is talking about how great sync is, but i tried it (and lift off, connect, summit) and all of them are literally the same. the only one i find to be unique is thunder because thunder feels like an app not a compact webpage interface. for example the leading in the sync posts is super jarring and feels like its from a 2008 forum and thats the same for most of the other apps.

except i did notice sync added ads which is a feature no one else has yet. and ad free is 20 bucks?? so from my perspective its the same (kinda worse than liftoff) as the other apps but it costs money

what is everyone liking about sync compared to the other apps? folks could just be used to sync which makes sense

also saying its more ergonomic or it just feels better isnt an answer however if that is ur answer thats cool id like to know why its more ergonomic or whatever tho

tbh i just browse lemmy and sometimes interact by typing an unfunny remark and deleting it before i hit send

i just dont know what ALL these features of sync are.

but a dev being active doesnt make me feel more parasocially inclined to follow his app unless its like really shitty and i want them to tell me when its not gonna be shitty but even then its just a guy making something he likes so its whatever. i dont like feeling like they're playing the PR game and we're like dogs getting a treat when a dev says something.

but i also could be weird i just dont like the reddit app or the current reddit business model so im using lemmy.
