    There’s a lot of opinion in that last paragraph that a lot of vocal sync users don’t seem inclined to see.

    It’s equally fine that you like it and I don’t.

      You know what, yeah, completely fair.

      If you don’t mind me asking, what apps are, in your opinion, as good as Sync? (Removing the ads, and payment and shit out of the debate).

      I’ve used Thunder, Jerboa, Connect, LiftOff, and maybe another that I can’t recall. Last time I used each of them, they were nowhere near the level of Polish that Sync has. That being said, it has been a while because once the Sync alpha launched, I exclusively used Sync for browsing and Connect for posting. They might have changed and been updated, etc.

        When did you last use jerboa? The quality of experience has gone way up with a huge number of new contributors. I used RIF for years and at first jerboa was way less polished but today I think it is better than RIF ever was.

        I’ve been using all lemmy apps and I’d say maybe thunder is a contender for fluidity. Summit for post view ( judging only based on compact view bc that’s the only view I use). Liftoff cos I can stay signed in multiple accounts, “everything tab” and search function. I see infinity as a sort of foss Sync with a less compact view but more info about user/community instance.

        Also let’s not forget good ol’ jerboa. Beside the login problem it had (now sorted out) it pretty much does everything.

        I’m also excited about slide development. It’s going kinda slow but it’s on github

          Thunder is great, but is there a way to remove the bottom and top bar? Or at least hide it when scrolling? That’s my main gripe with the app. Seems like a waste of space since I rarely use it.

            Unfortunately not. But their is a high chance if you open an issue on git he’d respond. He sure did when I asked for font size options.

            I would go onto crown voyager as the superior app if it had this same option
