This is genuinely exciting news.

Likely a game changer. I've been giving Lemmy a try. Jerboa isn't too terrible either.

[–] house_of_questions 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree. Been using Jerboa as well and it's nice and usable enough as a placeholder, but I'll be watching the Sync development. Can't wait!

[–] GeneralChaz9 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jerboa has been nice, besides the weird glitch where it shoots me back to the top of a post when scrolling down. Lol

Otherwise it's pretty good for a FOSS solution!

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

nah.

Mastodon has great apps and they are FOSS. Jerboa is "better-than-nothing", it is bad.

[–] sotolf 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, tusky for mastodon for example is great, I didn't really get along with jerboa at all.

The newest update looks good imo.
