I've always been a rif user on Reddit, never tried out sync. But now I probably will since it's a professional level app for lemmy. Experienced sync users, what should I know?

Only thing to know now is install the free version of sync for reddit. The dev will update it with a splash screen sometime this weekend with instructions on how to move to Lemmy. Also, I would lower your expectations. The first version released is very likely to be a bare bones test build. It will take time to get as polished and feature rich as Sync for Reddit is. Jerboa for Android is likely to remain the best option until other apps like Sync have time to catch up.

I hate to have to say this, but Jerboa isn't good. I can't even say it's a step up from just using a mobile browser, because at least a browser doesn't crash.

Jerboa now keeps telling me that lemmy.world is outdated and some of the features stopped working. That's just not a worthwhile upgrade from using a browser right now.

I am running a patched version of Jerboa right now, think it was a fork on the github project. Unfortunately lemmyworld is having problems getting the update in place. Very alpha experience right now but I imagine things will start ramping up.

Actually, try Liftoff. It's better than Jerboa.

Get it here on GitHub: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/releases

I was going to say that Liftoff sure looks a lot like the Lemmynade app I tried a couple days ago.

Turns out that it is Lemmynade. It just got renamed.

Weird, Liftoff won't let me comment on posts from other servers.

That's weird. I have tried that yet, so far I've only posted to Lemmy.world.

In general all the apps need work. They are very much still beta. So what I do is mix my usage between web and apps.
