I despise the iOS UI of Voyager. It literally looks like an iOS 5 app. I don't want that crap on my android device in 2025!

Sync has the most polished, most "Android" UI. The developer disappeared for years at a time before, so he'll be back again.

I've switched over to Voyager from Sync and I agree about the UI. It's fine but Sync is just prettier and also smoother to use. I miss being able to swipe from the left to bring up the sidebar for communities.

I've tried loads of clients and none come close to Sync in terms of UI and performance, but unfortunately it's buggy (main gripe for me is not being able to see comments on communities from my own instance that I'm not subscribed to), and the app developer seems to have abandoned it.

Can you explain the bug you mention a bit more? I use sync and when I go to this thread in c/technology (which I'm not subscribed to), it lists 10 comments and all of them appear for me.

That's on lemmy.world, where you're on lemmy.zip, so it's a community that's not on your own instance. That said, I don't know if it's something that affects everyone but I've seen others mention it on the sync community and someone had reported a bug report on GitHub for it.

Interesting. Seems like I can see everything from my local (like here for example: https://lemmy.zip/post/31533252 ) but I'll keep an eye out in the future

I've looked online to see whether other people had this bug and couldn't find anything.

I didn't realise it was as specific as you say, I might look at using a different account for browsing feddit.uk which feels kind of ironic

This one seems to be about any community on a local instance.

This one is the same issue I mentioned where it only applies to communities that you're not subscribed to. Funnily enough I commented on that issue and the bug reporter said they had the same issue, but the bug reporter from the first link said it's slightly different for them.

Either way, there's some funkiness with comments not showing up from a local instance.

Voyager has different settings you can customize, but it's super similar to RedditIsFun design wise and that was always my favorite client for Reddit. I like simple and compact.

I despise the Android UI of Immich. It literally looks like an Android 4.4 app. I don't want that crap on my iPhone in 2025!
