You can support FOSS devs, too.
When there's a FOSS app as good as sync, sure.
As a former infinity user, "Infinity for Lemmy" was the one I'm waiting for. And now I have it
https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
I've tried all the Android reddit apps. Infinity is fine, I just prefer Sync's UI/UX.
Honestly, there are three right now on Android.
Thunder
Connect
Liftoff
I'm currently using Liftoff more than the others, but every week I'm seeing huge positive changes being made to all of these. Jerboa is an honorable mention, as I don't think we can log in to that yet.
I like the feel of sync, but the fonts are a little small, and there comments in threads are hard to differentiate compared to the apps above.
This is all just subjective opinion but I've been using connect for weeks and I bigly prefer Sync
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I've never had any trouble logging in with Jerboa. It'd be my favorite app but it has framerate issues on my device, so I'm using Thunder.
Why make this comment? They didn't say they weren't going to.
They are in more need of it.
Literally zero FOSS apps that are even half as good as Sync.
Eh, Infinity for Lemmy is.
Although it's in alpha and theirfor there many bugs, but feature wise it might be even better than Sync
I was switching between Voyager, Infinity and Thunder until Sync got released. None of those even come close to the User Experience of Sync. It's not even the bugs, it's the interface and the UX.
I'm more concerned about the data collection then the price.
Okay, I won’t push you from Sync. But if you have the money to remove its ads, please also consider supporting Lemmy directly or indirectly (Mozilla, among other things, funded the effort to find and patch TootRoot before it became a problem). If you don’t want to just donate, switching to Mozilla VPN will also help.
