Glad to see the lemmy community welcoming new users and their choice of app to engage with the fediverse.

- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Sync is fine. More good apps are better for the platform and really needed.
I personally will probably not use Sync for long. I remember using it for Reddit for a while but noticing the app was updated to slow which over time broke some stuff. Then I went onto the Sync sub and apparently the dev is a bit...sensitive when there's negative community feedback and then just stops for a year or longer or so. Good on him if he can of course, it's not like he has to cope with the internet but I've found other apps to be more reliable overall for Reddit. Let's see how this one goes.
You sound like the dev is just a Karen who can't handle criticism. But in fact that he was receiving death threats (literally) because he dared to change the UI and UX of the app in a major revamp (even though that version was in beta for months and nobody complained). That's why he stopped for one year
I see nothing wrong with apps for lemmy grow. Every new ex-reddit app that makes a version for lemmy means more people will stop using the reddit app and use lemmy instead.
I never used Sync with reddit. But I'm using it right now, for Lemmy, because I found it to be smoother and more customizable than Jerboa. I'll check out Boost when it becomes available, too.
I don't care about open source or closed source stuff. I really couldn't give a F either way. That stuff doesn't concern me.
Seriously, Sync is fantastic, way ahead of others apps
Thanks for letting me know that theres a Lemmy Version of Infinity :D
I'm fine with paying a one-time charge for an app, but I will never rent software.
Meanwhile I'm just waiting for boost....
