What? Lol. I've used Sync for almost 10 years now and have seen it evolve. How is it a fork of another app?
It just looks like every other lemmy app. They all look the same with a few things changed and their talking points are so similar from app to app. It's almost completely impossible to decifer the differences without trying them out. If it wasn't a fork I wouldn't know because they are so similar on the play store.
If anything, the Lemmy apps would look like Sync, because obviously Sync has existed way longer, even before Lemmy was even a thing. The more likely reason most of them look the same on Android, is because they're following some (sometimes older) form of Material Design, the design standard for Android.
