Idk how long a lot of you have been off reddit but I was there just after Sync for lemmy was announced and it had a lot of people saying they’d come over with Sync. So Idgaf if it’s got ads or a premium fee, because I don’t have to use it. I can just let the people who want it use it and let the fediverse grow.
Based neutrality.
I don’t care, just stop talking about the damn thing.
I use Infinity for Lemmy and it’s pretty gosh darn nice (coming from Infinity for Reddit).
I found it quite buggy. I love infinity, but I’m probably gonna stick to Sync for now.
It’s in early development, I’m sure it’ll get better. The awesome thing is that we have so many great choices for clients. There’s something for everyone!
There’s infinity? I can’t find it in fdroid. Is it play store only?
It is on codeberg.
No it’s not, mine is fine, just waiting for some features to get added.
Maybe it’s your phone.
“maybe it’s your device”
A classic.
I just set mine up to be as close to RIF as possible. I love it so far.
Still using Jerboa and still loving it
Who asked you?
Open forum = anyone can post their opinion on a topic. Sorry if I struck a nerve 😅
I understand why people are complaining about the price but… Based on how much time spend on the app I kinda get it.
Also I just gave Google opinion rewards info on my whereabouts at all times and answered nosy questions which i quickly got 20$+ to pay for the add free stuff.
(Google opinion rewards is an invasive app that asks you stuff and gives you a quarter or so for every questions about nosy things)
Which they know about anyway.
Oh you visited x shop. Did you visit x shop? Here’s 25p
I choose neither side. I prefer using the free apps, and I’m not sad about it.
For me Voyager marking on read when you scroll past a post is just a killer feature
In case any sync users are looking to enable this: Settings shortcut: History > Mark posts as read on scroll

That ain’t me mate
Oof. They got me.
I guess my congrats go to you.
Is voyager the only app that can do that? That’s a feature that I would consider switching for
In not sure if its the only one, but on Voyager you just have to go settings then general and the option to mark as read on scroll is there. Its super convienent though!
Connect can do it as well
i dont get it. whats wrong with sync?
People are upset because they want to use a premium service without paying for it. The dev was kind enough to add a free version, which is supported by ads. However, the ads in the free version use trackers (just like pretty much every ad service), so people are getting hysterical that the app is “spying” on them.
It would be one thing if this was the only app for Lemmy, but there’s numerous other apps on the market they could use.
Although none of them are even half as polished as Sync 😉
You really can polish a turd.

Not open source, payment if you don’t want ads. Valid criticisms, but it’s still the best app UX wise, by far, so the blame is not on the users, it’s on open source projects to do better
Sync has a giant head start.
Oh no doubt about that. And I really hope other apps do catch up, having one “best app” isn’t super healthy
but it’s still the best app UX wise, by far
That’s a high claim when tehre’s features I want that other apps do that this doesn’t, great user experience. Just say that you prefer it, stating it as a fact reads extremely arrogant and might be why some other people are getting pissed.
Oh no! People enjoying something, better get angry!
oh thats REALLY bad.
lemmy is crowded with the FOSS and privacy crowd. it’s what makes lemmy so much better than reddit.
ita reasonable that a paid app, with ads and telemetry isn’t their traditional jam.
Idk man I am using Connect and I am happy with it.
Jerboa… Always
Jerboa has been good to me for the past month, but Sync is such an improvement. It has customization options that just make the experience better all around.
Man, I am really out of the loop here. What’s happening?
Apparently sync was a popular reddit app (I think, I never heard of it before), which has now launched for lemmy. The result being that 50% of all posts on lemmy is now about sync for some reason.
Guerrilla marketing or just very very dedicated fans?
Can someone explain this one to me? I’m on ios and therefore can’t use sync.
I just use Artemis for kbin and a browser for lemmy until lemmy support drops
