    Honestly my biggest complaint is that so far only Sync seems to have a built-in browser. I don’t like having things redirected to my browser.

    How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I’m considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync’s “remove ads” (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).

      I wasn’t very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I’ve been a long time infinity user. I can’t give a fair comparison since I haven’t given sync too much of a chance, but here’s what I like about infinity:

      • FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
      • nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
      • multiple account support
      • dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
      • fairly stable

      Voyager is nice, but since it’s a native app I can’t download pictures anymore, so I switched to infinity and got used to it…

    Don’t forget Connect! It’s probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The “About Instance” function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.

    For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).

    I am in love with infinity too. Only problem I have, it lacks some Lemmy features, adding pictures to comments or showing down votes etc.

    Liftoff & Voyager are my companions.

      Infinity for Lemmy is out already? If that’s true, you won’t have to wait too long for all the features you want.

    Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).

    Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can’t post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.

    Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I’m not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I’m used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).

    Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.

    And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really “work” right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it’s populated when I open it, versus Sync which can’t make a connection.

      What do you mean cannot post in Sync? I’m using Sync since day 1 and can post, like this comment
