I didn't use Sync with reddit but since it's the best one for Lemmy... Here I am! On Sync! Enjoying it!
I haven’t looked into what Sync is but it sounds like it’s more than just ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy?
Also a paid app?
If it’s a paid app then that makes me think quality to be honest. It’s probably misguided, but my default is to feel that if you need to pay up front for an app it’s going to be higher quality and not full of ads/microtransactions.
Same here it's just good to be back using sync.
It truly is a beautiful sight
What is the different between sync and every other app?
Not a whole lot. Definitely not $2/month worth of differences.
Overall, Sync is less buggy and has a nicer UI than other apps. It lets you customize how you want to see content a lot more, with 6 different layouts (from compact to full cards) and has everything you need for quick actions and gestures. It's just one of the more feature complete options because it has 10+ years of development behind it.
Other apps may get there eventually, but right now Sync is one of the best.
I've been using Jerboa, but I would like to try a different app. I do NOT want to use Sync, though, because even though everyone says they don't sell data, it says right in the store that it collects personal information and messages and I'm not ok with that. I don't care about paying a couple bucks for something quality to get rid of ads, but ads or not, you don't need my personal data. So, what would you recommend I try next? I'm having trouble deciding because like half of them are early access.
