I never saw what the fuss was with Sync for Reddit, but everyone is acting like fanboys about it launching for Lemmy. ๐
Fanboys? And what about Thunder fanboys? /s
For real, let's just let people enjoy what they want.
I was constantly using Connect, Voyager, Thunder and Summit for Lemmy.
Now that Sync for Lemmy is here I am gonna be using it a lot, it is too unstable right now, but all Lemmy clients were once, and when Voyager app makes it to the PlayStore heck I'll be rocking that one too.
We can use whatever we want, if users want to pay for Sync for Lemmy nothing is wrong about it, you are not being forced to use it too, nor pay for anything.
I don't even remember anyone talking about sync on Reddit. Everyone always mentioned rif, Apollo, or baconreader.
I know it was one of the most popular, but it was always Relay for me.
Hence why I like Thunder so much.
I'm trying out thunder as I type this. It's pretty slick. Not a huge fan of needing to swipe to upvotes and reply, but other than that it seems really good
You can turn on vote and reply buttons in the latest beta of Thunder.
Cool, thanks for the heads up!
It's a acquired taste for sure. But now I really like it. Keeps the UI clean.
I'm digging it. It's quick. It seems to handle the inbox the best so far. There's some really nice graphic accents that are subtle I enjoy too.
You can choose to use buttons in the settings menu.
Yeah I was a Relay user too and Thunder is definitely the Lemmy app that comes closest to recreating that experience.
I was one of the few chiming in about Sync, but I was definitely in the minority. The vast majority used one of the three you mentioned, primarily RiF it seemed.

Just wait until boost releases
