I just leave you with my favorite quote of Ljdawson, made during the reddit api war:

"I don't know. I don't track shit."

He has crashlytics. That's about it.

Tbh, I don't care for open or closed source, I don't even care for free or payed. (19 bucks per year.. That's like what, a coffee and a donut at a Starbuck?)

Stuff must just work and to be honest... All available clients all work *sort of. *

This one does this good but sucks at multi instances. That one screws up gifs from that and this site. Made an error typing your user name!/password during setup? Tough shit. You can't edit it so redo from start, remove it and type well this time.

Sync just seems to work.

That's not to shit on anyone hard work: I can't do it, I can't make them, I'm glad these clients exist. I don't expect free told to be perfect.

But I'm also superglad Sync for lemmy is a thing. And I will pay for it when it's out of beta.

Sync is fucking fantastic though, just how I remember. I don't mind at all paying for a great app by a talented dev.

The pro version is supposed to be out later, and will just be a one-time payment unlike ultra's subscription

I used Sync for almost the full 11 years on Reddit and will gladly support the dev on Lemmy.

I don't understand the bitching about it, we users were asking for this, it is the good thing about Lemmy/Fediverse, you have tons of options, and probably will have more, heck even the PWA are awesome, no need to download anything at all.

I say this as someone who is probably one of the biggest supporters of software-freedom around here, but bullying or shaming people for preferring non-free apps does nothing but incite resentment towards the movement. I value the four freedoms because I think I deserve control of my computing, not because I think it's my place to dictate what others should value.

Sync is a perfectly fine app for me. I tried all other apps and nowhere near to sync. I don't even have ads on the free version as I am using dns ad blocker. The moment one time payment for removing ads is out(it is coming), I will buy it. Or I will donate to dev in some other way as I am not a fan of subscriptions.

I just installed Sync after browsing with Jerboa for the past month. Sync has such a clean, smooth look that if it functions even remotely consistently it'll be my new replacement.

Imagine Apollo for Lemmy 😮‍💨

Fun fact, me and Clarkson are both from Donny:

Yeah, this shit is getting old really quickly.

What client I use doesn't affect your experience. I and lots of others are reddit refugees and I used sync for years. I'm ecstatic to have the interface back.

Bullshit gatekeeping and bickering over ideological purity doesn't help anyone. At the end of the day, lemmy is confusing for someone accustomed to reddit. There is a learning curve. Most of us just want to exchange info and converse. I don't give a fuck to learn about FOSS and all that other bullshit any more than any of you want to learn the specialized minutiae I have to sift through at my day job.

Shut the fuck up already. This sort of discourse lands like a bunch of shitty kids meeting at a half empty bar all criticizing how one another got there

I have always preferred Infinity when I was using Reddit. But right now Infinity for Lemmy seems to be not in a usable state. I have been using Thunder For Lemmy as of recently, not sure if I will switch from it to Infinity for Lemmy once its in a more usable state.

Edit: I can't even use Sync for Lemmy as on the Play Store it says its unavailable on my device. I have a Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra. One would think that it would be available considering its pretty much this years flagship of the largest Android brand.

Edit 2: It seems to not be because of the device itself @[email protected] seems to have been able to download it on their s23 Ultra.

Edit3: It was because of Age Verification. I can now download it fine.

Y'all gotta stop shitting on non-FOSS Lemmy apps.

Lemmy is Lemmy, let people access the platform how they want to. It doesn't affect you. Don't use Sync if you don't want to.

Where's the love for Connect? Best app hands down!

How about instead we respect everyone's decisions and preferences? Free as in freedom, is that not what the Open Source community is about?

Lemmy is fun is what I want

You guys are using apps?

Liftoff is where its at

Fuck yeah baby. Infinity ftw!

Infinity was my fav for Reddit, def would love to try a Lemmy alternative

Speak for yourself, but Infinity really isn't as well made as Sync. I'd rather pay one time for a quality experience and support the developer. Also, no ads in the paid version.

im on infinity for the first time rn and this is the second post i see lol

i had been using infinity for reddit for a few years before... the incident... it is absolutely the best

So fucking ecstatic to have seen that Sync for Lemmy came out today personally.

Paid for Ultra immediately without a second thought even if the app is early days I know it's a worthwhile investment to keep ljdawson paid and caffeinated lol

Is Infinity fully compatible with foldables and tablets? Sync even has tabs for open posts (like a browser) when it's opened in tablet mode
