  • Counterpoint: the swipe viewing mode (great for picture-heavy communities), which can be set as a default viewing mode for subreddits in Boost, is treated as a weird ginger stepchild in Sync and you have to manually select it every time. It also ignores options like ‘don’t start videos with sound’ for Reasons as well. Very irritating and odd.


  • Personally, I wasn’t too worried by the pricing model of Sync, and I’m usually tight AF - I think post- the great 3rd party client purge of Reddit it’s clear to me just how much value they brought to my browsing experience, so I’m happy to support the developers.

    I think people who say these apps already exist and it’s just a case of porting to the Lemmy APIs are massively underestimating the actual amount of work involved to do these apps justice on Lemmy. £20 or so to support the developer and gain an ad-free experience seems entirely fair to me!
