Don't let anyone pressure you into trying (or not trying) different apps to get a feel for them. Sync happens to be the one that resonated with me the most, but other people will feel the same.
Everybody in here is freaking out about devs having to eat are entirely missing the point that the devs are already eating thanks to ad revenue they introduced into their own app. Having to pay to remove ads isn't supporting the dev because the dev is already supporting themselves with ads. Call the cash grab a cash grab if you want, but understand that this is what it is.
What exactly is the point you are trying to make? Whether the dev gets money via ads or subscriptions doesn't change the "devs having to eat" aspect. How does it become a cash grab when ads become involved?
Asking for $20-100 for an ad free experience and then couching it in terms of "devs gotta eat" is the cash grab. That's why there are ads in the first place. The point I'm making is that trying to make it into a guilt trip is sleazy. There are all kinds of free, ad free alternatives. I'd personally recommend liftoff. They don't have ads and they're not out here trying to imply I'm taking food out of their mouth for using the app without "donating".

Is there a FOSS app that has the *peeking"-feature? (Long pressing a picture to get full size preview) That feature has been an absolute game changer to me.
What I’ve noticed is any third party app won’t matter until we get some more content that isn’t the front page buzzing about the exact same topic for multiple days. Right now ironically it’s all talking about Sync, when a lot of iOS users can’t even use it.
I’m on Mlem for iOS but it’s still early access, but I still love it
I'm on thunder for the amazing design, ik it's slow but I'm used to it cos of my crap internet
