Closed source apps do not allow us to verify they do not actually steal our data or profile us. Liftoff for life

So many years wasted on reddit... only reason was that I liked infinity and it made my experience good...

Infinity for lemmy feels like rediscovering an old friend!

I've found Thunder to be the best so far. But I'm holding out for Boost.

Can someone tell me what "FOSS" means? I get it in context, but what's the acronym? I'll look it up later if need be

It's an inconvenient truth for sure. I'm using sync right now because it's the best app experience on android at the moment if you don't need to top level post and because I used it with Reddit. This wasn't a big deal with Reddit imo, but using a closed source app to access an open source platform feels wrong.

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.

Sync has been around for a long time and has loads of customisations. If only you'd bothered to go through the settings before giving up, you'd have been able to make Sync your own.
