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.
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
