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.
People will use whatever is familiar especially if it's better than the other alternatives. I've been using jerboa and the initial beta version of sync is much better imo. Liftoff was okay but still not as good.
So what were they using in the meantime? I was using Slide for Reddit, but now I'm using something else.
( Slide for Lemmy exists but is a very early version.)
Probably jerboa or the other apps, or maybe even a pwa as it wasn't that bad. What I meant by familiar was about people migrating from reddit. Haven't tried slide yet though.
