Yea I’ve tried every app and there’s just nothing as smooth as the sync app. Tossing an independent dev $20 a year for something I’m getting thousands of hours of use out of is a no brainer. I give Netflix more every month and don’t get nearly as much value. Too many people expect to get everything for free.
Yeah I think I find this problem a lot with most projects with a FOSS community. Lamenting about the lack of large scale take up of a project whilst also getting ideologically gatekeepy about the user experience.
Apps like Sync are a gateway for converting Reddit users over to Lemmy and we should celebrate them.
I couldn’t care less if foss app users or developers are butthurt because closed apps are suddenly available and gaining popularity.
Sync for lemmy landed and it has been more stable and has more features than any of the other lemmy apps I’ve tried.
Maybe if the foss apps were stable and feature rich more casual plebs like me would use them, but at the moment they all feel kind of broken.
Also, I would take issue with jerboa here. Jerboa is there but not Connect? Lol…

Connect isn’t open-source, afaik. (Using it to post this comment.)

Connect is not Foss.
