I haven't tried Sync but I've tried Connect and Jerboa and I'm now on Liftoff. All have felt pretty smooth to me, Liftoff especially is about as smooth as I could imagine anything being. I've got no problem with people using Sync bit I don't get how they're having such a bad experience on other apps.
I used the first two, but just enjoy the experience of sync better. If sync didn't exist, I'd be just fine and happy still. But I currently browse Lemmy 30 minutes to an hour each day, so $20 for no ads is something I'll probably eventually pay for the hundreds of hours I'll use the app.
For me it's actually a bit about brand loyalty. Been using synch for 10+ years and got so used to it. I don't have problems with other Lemmy apps at all.
oh gosh on how much i wish i was posting this comment on thunder
Show me a foss client which shows community suggestions in the search bar when you start typing and auto collapsing comments features. Otherwise you can't change my mind.
How many of these are for Android?
All of them
I am trying so hard to be patient and stick to using kbin.
My choice was simple I need playback controls for video/gifs Tried liftoff and was great, but currently on sync and loving it
Once Boost for Lemmy releases, inject it straight in my veins
How will users welcome it though. I kind of want to see. Will it also get a Sync reception? Will lemmy have double standards? Let's see what u/mayayo will do.
When Sync got released, I was feeling guilty using it (as a jerboa user). But over time, I got used to it. It makes me use lemmy on my phone too, so I still consider this step in a better direction.
Functionality wise, I dislike icons and app icon on jerboa.
I would love to use Thunder, but for some reason, my screen is locked to 60 Hz on Thunder, Connect and Liftoff and it's really off-putting.
Anyone who has used liftoff, what's the difference really with sync? I tried sync but couldn't really tell a difference.
However the first app to come out with a tablet or two pane mode, I'm making my move to them
