I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!

EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

    After reading this I decided to try it out. Within 5 posts there were ads. No thanks, I’ll stick with Connect.

    Edit: I was scrolling everything and replied. I didn’t see this was in the official community. My opinion doesn’t matter in here. I think it’s great that sync is successful and I hope it continues. So yea, keep on keeping on.

      It’s a single developer that should be paid for his work. You can easily upgrade to the ad free version for a few bucks…

      I’ve been using systemwide adblock on all my electronics for years now so I forget that in app ads are a thing. But yeah, I see your point. They do offer a one time purchase to remove ads.

                I know, i would pay for it (as I did buying the reddit pro and dev versions) but I don’t consider that it has a fair price and I don’t support subscription models either.

                I’m happy hopping between connect and eternity. Boost beta is coming next week as well, so I’m not worried at all.

                Scrolling through those black spaces is for sure a bad user experience for me, but to each his own

                  It’s good we have plenty of options. I’m going to try Boost as well because it’s the app that really hooked me to reddit and in the end it brought me to lemmy. Although Sync has been so great there’s no guarantee I switch. And if Boost released earlier, I probably wouldn’t even tried Sync. Let’s see them compete. Or collaborate. Or both.

        It’s strange, both on Sync for Reddit and Sync for Lemmy I’ve always seen the space for ads, but never an actual ad showing in that space. So I just get random black spaces between posts

        from someone that used Connect before Sync was available: it works but feels like someone’s hobby. lots of issues and quirks to work around. Sync is absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t be using lemmy without it.

      FWIW you can use list or compact view and it won’t show ads (for now at least). Or just pay the pricey one-time fee to remove ads.

        That must be why I’ve never seen ads. I see people bitch about it every time someone mentions Sync, but have literally never seen one. Also the dev is a bad ass. I’ve twice mentioned bugs in release threads and he’s fixed them within a few minutes each time.

      I had to trawl through the cookie settings and manually disable every single option. After that I no longer see any ads, just a space where the ads should be. Annoying that I had to do that though, with Reddit Sync I’d paid a one off fee I think and never saw any ads.

      I get it though. I think this app is the devs main job, and the user base is significantly smaller than what it was for Reddit so he’s having to put ways in to recover some income.

    Sync is the reason I left Reddit and joined Lemmy!

    That said, the new pricing options scared me away (you can’t tag users unless you get the super expensive one? Why? I used to be able to on the Reddit app) so I’ve been using Jerboa. It’s not as good as Sync (maybe 80% as good, for my purposes at least), but it’s free and getting better all the time.

        You could add a little tag beside their username saying whatever you wanted it to. It was great if you found someone to be particularly helpful or knowledgeable about something and then would see them pop up in other places. I remember tagging that guy who really knew vacuums for e.g… Or maybe there’s some other little quirk. I’ve forgotten the username of the dude who didn’t want to shit for three days here on Lemmy and definitely would’ve tagged them as such.

        Now that I think about it, I remember seeing how many times I’d upvoted people beside their name too (was that in the app or an RES thing?) which is another nice little feature.

        For example, I had a tag labeled “don’t click” for the guy on reddit that had that weird spinning Pikachu hyperlinked on the period at the end of his posts. That tag saved me from wasting so much time.

        That’s probably why people are mad. I’ve seen lots of comments to the effect of they don’t want Redditors here because they’ll “ruin” Lemmy.

          Heck, lemmy is barely supported. The dev just bootstrapped the lemmy API into the reddit app and published it as a beta. We were all happy for that, but it will be a while before it’s a polished lemmy app.

        If you aren’t the kind of person that says things along the lines of Sync is bad because it has an ad supported version which is optional but it shouldn’t be optional for some reason, then we aren’t talking about you.

        to answer your question, sync has a nice and modern user interface that is enjoyable to spend your time with.

        Jerboa is… functional, Sync has design and thought behind its interactions and user experience. If that’s okay with you, then that’s fine. But I wasn’t happy there.

    Like Lemmy is to Reddit, FOSS clients are to paid alternatives.

    The only way I can see to stay clear of business practices I don’t like is to support the FOSS model.

    I’m not saying Sync isn’t a good client, or that the dev has anything other than the best intersts of his users in mind, it’s that at any point a decision can be made which you have no control over. Service models for software, for example, very rarely seems to be in the users interests.

    Give the FOSS clients a shot, they are also constantly improving!

        You could try out Eternity. It’s a fork of Infinity for Reddit and has great UI/UX design. Though not using latest M3 design guidelines it’s lightyears ahead of Liftoff, Thunder, etc. imo (which I couldn’t stand personally - tastes vary ofc!)

        You can get Eternity from F-droid when you enable the IzzyDroid Repository (included in droid-ify, a much better fdroid client than the official one)

          Just installed it. Long time infinity user, now a jerboa user after the switch.

          Eternity looks great! The biggest issues I had with other apps is the unchangable Instagram layout where even with a log phone I can see maybe 1 post at a time. Then I also like seeing the community icon to know where the post is.

          Compacter comments where you can easily see levels, but it doesn’t load every child comment all the time at once. Both jerboa and eternity are the only FOSS apps that fit that bill 😊

        I was similar with Jerboa first then Sync despite being mostly a Bacon user at Reddit. I tried Sync just before the Hoopla started.

        I found the sensitive swipe gestures of Jerboa difficult as there was no way to turn them off so when Sync came along it became the default for me as the swipe features don’t cause as issue for me.

          idk if the other commenter experienced the same bug as I did, but for me, deleting characters in the comment text box would also delete the last space. So, for example, if I typed “idk if the other commenzr”, and I started deleting the ‘r’ and then ‘z’, the text would turn into "“idk if the othercommen”. It would just keep going like that. Otherwise Jerboa is fantastic though, but it get’s annoying fast.

      it’s that at any point a decision can be made which you have no control over

      This is true for any software you didn’t write. Plenty of FOSS software has gone in directions I didn’t like.

      The only real difference is whether decision makers have a profit motive. That’s important, but that said, it’s not everything.

          That’s really not a valid argument for 99% of users. I’m not going to fork FOSS software because I’m an adult and have a full time job. I don’t have the time to learn about the inner workings of the software to fix it. Most users are less tech savvy than myself, anyways. Saying “just fork it and fix it to your liking” to the average person is not realistic.

            If you’re not happy with the software there’s a good chance others are also dissatisfied and van make the chage, this happens all the time. Perhaps some of them are children without a full time job and don’t mind spending time understanding something ;-) The point I’m making is that the users of the software have an additional option not available to closed source software.

      There’s a big difference which is that clients have minimal lock in. Reddit has a monopoly over the community while you can easily switch clients with little lost.

        But switching clients means wasting your time learning a different app and getting used to different UI. I wouldn’t like to switch from Connect at this point even though it’s a bit buggy so I think client does matter a lot. Reddit APIcalypse was all about clients and if I didn’t care about the client I would still use Reddit with RedReader. Or if I cared even less I would use Reddit app.

      But I can always use an older APK, at which point I do have control over the changes. I can even inject custom code if I really want to - some people are still using Sync for Reddit with their own API keys.

        And you’re stuck with potential security issues/missing regulatory chages, lack of new features…

          Yes, if I choose to stay on a specific version, I’ll be stuck on that version.

          And you’re stuck with potential security issues/missing regulatory chages, lack of new features…

          But you have the same issue with FOSS apps if they change something I don’t want. If you choose to stay on a specific version, you will also be stuck with potential security issues/missing regulatory changes and a lack of new features.

    Jerboa used to hilariously break every time it was updated if your home instance was even a minor-sub-dot version number behind absolute latest. I couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. Connect and Liftoff are both great clients, I just happen to like Sync more. But, I do still keep Liftoff installed beccause it’s got some outstanding diagnostic tools if you are trying to see all pieces of data related to a post or comment.

      I’m pretty sure it’s been months since that was an issue on Jerboa. I wouldn’t say Jerboa is rock solid, but it’s my app of choice. However, as a longtime Sync for Reddit user, I’m happy to see Sync gaining traction. The more the merrier!

        It may have been rock-solid in the last few months since, but back when they were having their version numbering issues, I was a very new lemmy user and didn’t understand what the problem was (not that I should have had to)- the only thing I knew at the time was that other clients that I’d just learned about somehow didn’t have the same finicky version number problems as jerboa. It kind of wrecked my entire new-lemmy-user experience - especially since (as far as I know) Jerboa is kind of the semi-official client for Lemmy - it doesn’t need to have all the bells and whistles baked into more robust 3rd party clients - it just needs to be rock solid and run reliably as its only job, and it failed.

          When Jerboa was having their version number problems, all of Lemmy was having version numbering problems! I couldn’t access certain instances because the version number was incompatible with the version number of the instance I am on, Two-Factor broke on a version upgrade, it was a mess. Lemmy wasn’t really ready for the Reddit exodus, and neither was Jerboa.

            Well, not really. This was JUST a problem for Jerboa. There were some other 3rd party apps available for Lemmy and they didn’t suffer from the same problems. In fact, it wasn’t even a technical limitation of Jerboa itself… if you had previously installed and configured Jerboa when the instance version and the jerboa version matched, and then upgraded your jerboa app when your instance didn’t upgrade their version, it magically worked. The problem was when you installed Jerboa fresh and tried connecting it to a slightly outdated instance version - or if you wrecked yourself by clearing your jerboa cache/data folder without realizing that it would behave like it was starting fresh and break. The problem was solely in over-aggressive version checking during Jerboa startup…a total rookie mistake.

            That’s about the time that half of all Lemmy users suddenly learned about the availability of some competing apps that didn’t have the same problems.

              I’m talking about other version numbering issues that all of Lemmy experienced at that same time. While the one you spoke about was Jerboa specific, I experienced the other issues on the web as well as on Sync. As you pointed out, Jerboa is developed in parallel with Lemmy and it seems like these issues were a blind spot for the developers.

    Sync got me hyped for Lemmy, I used it for Reddit for more than a decade.

    But, for Lemmy I started to use Connect, and while I was waiting for Sync, Connect became the Lemmy app for me.

      Same, dev said end of August, but that didn’t happen. The guy isn’t very fast, but he is a solo dev and the end result is pretty good so it doesn’t bother me that much. I’m enjoying Sync in the meantime.

    Sync is definitely my main, with Liftoff being my backup QB. Liftoff is last though?? Really? I don’t get that, I think it’s pretty great

      There are a lot of results under this you can see at https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA, I just took a screenshot on my phone and that’s what fit and didn’t feel like doing a really long screenshot lol

      Liftoff is pretty great though, I used it as my primary for a while and still use it occasionally

      Liftoff still is my preferred option over sync. My only problem with liftoff is I don’t like the way it shows replies within longer comment chains. It’s too cluttered. Sync does a better job there

    I used Sync with Reddit, so it was a very natural transition for lemmy.

    But I also noticed that between it, Connect, and Jerboa, it’s the only one that has smooth scrolling in the comments. Connect and Jerboa are really janky even scrolling comments.

      Smooth scrolling makes me feel sick so that is more of a benefit when using Jerboa.

    Sync seems great, but it has three Google trackers included, so I’m not using it. Jerboa, Connect and Voyager are great, but they all have some downsides. My keyboard is weird in Jerboa, Connect does not allow me to sort by subscribed and Voyager’s comment-upvote system is a bit clunky, being hidding behind another tap. Also, Voyager’s UI generally looks like it’s made for iPhone, which is not what I’m looking for. But for the moment I’ll stick with it.

      I have the Duck Duck Go app for Android and it has a tracker blocker feature. It has to utilize a local VPN though , so if you use a VPN you can’t use that at the same time. But, the app blocks known trackers for all apps. I love it

    Where did you link the poll? Cause some communities might trend more towards certain apps (ones that migrated from reddit for example).

        lemmy.world has 3 times the amount of users as lemmy.ml. Also lemmy.ml has an application process for becoming a registered user, so there definitely is some kind of bias as to who is registered there.

          You are talking about instance and OP said he’s used the biggest(actually 3rd) community which does not require its users to be from lemmy.ml So I don’t see your point

          You do know the difference between communities and instances, right? And you do know how federation works, right? Also, based on where you look, [email protected] is either the largest or one of the three largest communities on lemmy, so I don’t think there’s much bias in there

    I’ve got several of these installed and I keep finding myself using liftoff. It’s not perfect, but it let’s me combine my subscriptions from several accounts into one view. I like that a lot & don’t see that option in the other apps.

        It allows me to browse an everything feed from multiple accounts.

        Therefore for example I could get my beehaw communities in my feed with this account’s too and when I open a post to comment it just pulls and submits from the appropriate account.

        So for example if it was a submission from lemmy.world it would be pulled from my sh.itjust.works account and would submit my comments from there but a beehaw post would do the same from my Beehaw account without having to actually manually switch between accounts.

        I’m not explaining it well. Just get an alt account that’s defederated from lemmy.world and try for yourself.

        Seeing as you’re asking this all over the thread, I have a feature request: can we get poll embed? Assuming strawpoll has an API (or if it’s possible on the client side without an API or much of a performance hit)

    I think this would be more useful if it separated the results by platform (android, ios, web). Sync is the top result, but it’s android exclusive.

      It was near the top of everything, or whatever we call /r/all over here, that’s where I saw it. I think it was in a technology community, but not 100% sure.
