Sync is a fantastic material design app stfu
At the end of the day, software developers need to eat. If they get to eat because their compensation model is driven by donations either before or after you use the app, who cares?
(Fair enough FOSS is free as in freedom, not just as in free beer, but I think that is moot to a lot of people, as long as the market space isn’t crushed by anti-competitive buisness practices)
The bigger issue at hand here is negotiating fair API uses for instances and their admins, who also need to eat, and make the apps possible too.
Had concurrent variants installed for fun, looks and lavours. Deleted all but Jerboa. It just works well enough and I quite like it.
I am disliking this sentiment. I am on the Fediverse because Sync’s developer and many others were betrayed by Reddit and I wanted to show solidarity and to ‘punish’ Reddit by leaving. The Fediverse’s values are admirable, but I do not share them all. I believe in supporting good projects, even some that are private if they don’t pose a risk of destroying something bigger, and Sync is a good project that can be easily abandoned without consequences if something goes wrong.

Try Connect for Lemmy. It’s excellent.
I didn’t know INFINITY for Lemmy existed!!! I don’t mind SYNC, although I prefer the FOSS alternatives
Gotta be honest, sync is the first lemmy client I’ve tried that seems to work without any issue…
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!
No-one uses Summit or what? 🤔
Using infinity rn its much fun !
It’s bizarre to me how, on this decentralised and FOSS platform with a ton of clients already available, people have been only waiting for the closed source one (with ads and payment to boot if I’m not mistaken?).
To each their own, but it’s still a sad state of society.
Im using CONNECT. its pretty good so far.
Is there any Foss app that marks as read posts on scroll?
I don’t get it tbh
The other apps are Free and Open Source Software. Sync is not.
