Pepsi, Coke, or Budget no-name cola? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? Sometimes it's a personal preference.

I like the UX of Sync. I've made QOL feature requests in the past and they've been implemented. For an early beta, it's extremely well polished. I can afford to support the developer for a quality app, so I do.

I can certainly see the merits of each app, and have used a few of them. I just prefer Sync.

But that's me. It should have no bearing on what you or anyone else uses.

Confirmed.

Big Sync fan here, because LJDawson actually listens to user feedback and implements good ideas.

Personally I'm a Sync Ultra subscriber because I value paying for the support and extra features, and don't mind compensating the app maker for making my Lemmy UX experience familiar and enjoyable.

However, and this is important, do not feel pressured to use an app because it is popular if something does not appeal to you (like the pricing, or paying to remove ads, for example). There are plenty of apps that are free or significantly cheaper, that remain ad free. All of them have merits.

Sync users alone can't fill the fediverse with the content that is required. We'd be extremely stupid to think we were anything more than just another fediverse user. Everyone's contribution is equally important.

Do it your way, or it's just another Reddit.

Since when is Sync claiming to be FOSS?

I was subbed, and used it by browser a bit.

But Sync feels like home. And once more I'm enthused about using a platform.

Threads never stood a chance with me. I closed down and deleted my Facebook/insta accounts ages ago. All they have is my ghost profile. Reddit app and site are ass on mobile, which is the main device profile I use for social media.

These fools coiling cables. Tidy cables are nice, until they get messy, then they're a nightmare.

Braiding power leads makes them mess proof and tangle free. Easy to unbraid as much as you need, and quick and easy to redo.

Don't braid a hose though.

It's currently showing a score of 2.6 stars with 2M reviews for me in the Google app store.

Syncforlemmy has 12.8k subscribers.

Loads of them were poised ready to strike once the beta launched.

I find it helps best if I say the name of the thing I'm looking for, out loud.

I'm actually finding the experience in Chrome browser to be pretty good.

Definately waiting on Sync though.

Nice. Second (whatever we call subs/channels in lemmy) signed up for.

Going to go straight for max pro bleeding edge beta demo for life version, rather than wait as long as I did with Sync.

Looking forward to pop-out subscription nav, floating action buttons, and ultra compact style options, and whatever other QOL improvements you have planned @[email protected]
