So, I was lurking using sync for Lemmy and I came upon this post.

What happened to the development with these apps? I'm not that active on lemdro.id or other instances. But apps like Sync and Boost have been updated in a year or 6 months respectively. With Boost I'm not surprised Mayo tends to be slow. I was more shocked with sync. My question is do you guys have any recommendations for other Lemmy clients?

Edit Please do not harass the devs.

Edit 2: I'm testing out thunderbird.

People use the official Reddit app voluntarily?

Well once you take out all the ads and algorithm it's not all that bad. It wouldn't be my favourite but it would have some character.

That's what I believe. My lemmyfied Reddit doesn't have any bullshit features, I was able to remove them all

I haven't built / tried it yet but would getting rid of the reddit logo up top too (leddit, perhaps?) work well? Or even load up your local instance favicon etc?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That would be great. I'll try once I have finished polishing the API compatibility and basic features. Do you want me to tell you once it's stable and ready for you to try ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Hell yes.

I ain't a lover of that kinda app (aesthetics plz) and why I stick with Boost being a RiF user but having lots of alternatives is one of the many reasons we all kicked off originally over in r/Android about the API bollocks Mr Greedy Piggy Spez brought in. That, and shitting on the disabled/spam whackers/translators you name it. Pissed us off enough we made this instance.

Does that official reddit app have decent Accessibility features yet, or was Spez yet again talking out of his pooper?

Good work btw, and obligatory fuck spez ;)
