I've been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don't get me wrong they're both great, but Sync is that much better

Same, already paid for year's subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.

It's unbelievably polished for a first release. Not 100% feature complete mind you, but it's mind blowing the dev pull this off.

It inherits all the lessons learned with Sync for Reddit until it died.

I'm so happy it's here, made the transition so easy with the effort they made to make the experience so similar to browsing reddit.

I left Reddit when they killed RIF. In Lemmy, I wanted something similar and tried Jerboa and Connect. Those apps didn't really feel like RIF no matter how much I customized it. Sync really is the definitive replacement for the RIF experience. I gotten my version to look and feel like it exactly.

Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it

Sync is the reason I'm here, and the reason why my Reddit account is practically dead. For me, Sync was Reddit, and without it I have no reason to stay.
