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.

I am so happy to finally have Sync again. Was always my most used app before the API death on Reddit. Always happy to support LJ.
There was something that just felt wrong about the sync app thread in one of the lemmy.world communities. Just post after post of "yay, it's like having reddit back again." Reddit can fuck off. I like the novelty and slight roughness around the edges.
I'm with you. There are a few terrific apps that were born here on Lemmy. Thunder, Connect and Summit are current favorites. Even though there was a time when Sync was my jam, I plan to stick with the locals.
That's the exciting thing about new types of open architectures, you have numerous people putting their ideas into the space. Instead of being tied down to one way to do things, you're allowed to experiment and maybe even see crossover of some features.

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

There's a line in the sand with security and transparency on one side and ease-of-use and convenience on the other.
I feel like most people don't really care about open source or federations..they just want an easy to access news/commenting platform.
It's a great examples of devs telling users what they want.

I'm fine with paying a one-time charge for an app, but I will never rent software.

Never have foss app users got this hung up on a small dev** (pronounced corporation)
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!
Cool so I paid $20 for ads free, it's a bit expensive for a phone app, and lots of free options. I'm ok with it though let's move on from Reddit bois

I don't get it tbh
The other apps are Free and Open Source Software. Sync is not.
