Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore - eviltoast

      Ive found connect is a pretty great alternative if you haven’t already checked it out.

          I use it sometimes, but with the instability of lemmy and being kicked from my login, not having saved logins is really annoying. I finally figured out that my keyboard app has been adding a space to the end of my username because it detects it as a saved word, and I don’t always remember this, so sometimes its a 2-3 attempt process just to log in and use the app.

          This is one users 2 cents, I’m not really saying I dislike your app more than I am taking the opportunity to bitch to someone who will listen

          I’ve really been enjoying it, although I have a problem with it. I have it set to hide seen posts, and when I try to see the top week posts, it says that there aren’t any. When I try it on wefwef, however, it shows posts. I’m assuming it’s something to do with how the post lookup works, where it will only retrieve a certain amount of posts to show and if I have seen them all, it won’t retrieve more? (wefwef takes a while to retrieve new posts, so I assume that’s what it’s doing)

        Former RIF user for over a decade here. Now using connect and is not too bad of a transition.

          No? It doesn’t feel like Reddit / Lemmy though either. I don’t have an account, but it feels really dead compared to Lemmy. I considered switching to Tildes, but the communities are too wide, like there isn’t a Futurama community, just a TV one, there isn’t a Retro games community, just a games one.

          It makes sense when you have a small userbase, but I care about niche communities and Lemmy offers that, and some are even slightly alive here.

            The user base was also too narrow. It felt like they wanted a specific kind of community, to a place open to just anyone.

        Because my brain is 60-70% walnut, I thought you made a joke about abbreviating Tildes is Fun to TIT.

        Tildes is Terrific?

      Relay for me. But it looks like Sync finally added swipe gestures so I’ll just use that, since my favorite app isn’t getting a Lemmy port. Connect and Voyager are too clunky for daily use. Can’t wait until Sync launches.

      (Edit: I just hope it shows downvote counts, comment previews, and has a tablet mode… Oh and doesn’t refresh the page every time I post something.)

        Fellow Relay refugee. I welcome the swipe drawer even though it misses some actions. My biggest grudge is probably scaling. The font sizes are way too small and adjusting them in settings doesn’t seem to adjust them everywhere (e.g. this reply screen I’m looking at right now).

        Overall I’m positive. I’ll probably duel-wield Sync and Jerboa and see which one brings the most pleasure.
