I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

Curious what sync users find about it worth paying for above say Jerboa or whatever? Would appreciate comments.
I used sync on Reddit and was kinda sad to see the dev didn’t grandfather people into Sync for Lemmy - especially given the high price of sync and the reuse of work that I’d already paid for. Obviously the guy should get paid, but I think £18 is excessive, especially for existing users.
I got close to a decade off a $5 purchase. (Or however much it was) I can’t think of a single other thing I’ve used daily for that long that cost so little. $20 now is no biggie to pay for a major update to switch to lemmy.
Fair viewpoint.
Actually I like the very fact that it is paid. Supporting the developer, and some sort of accountability.
Also, after trying connect, liftoff, jerboa (all perfectly good apps), etc I find that sync is most smooth and customizable.
Yeah I have no problem with it being a paid app - just disappointed that it’s so expensive and that existing users of sync didn’t get any kind of offer. No hate…I’m just expressing my feelings.
I didn’t realise how much I missed image peek (long press a post to popup the thumbnail image) until I switched back from jerboa to sync when it first came out. Especially since I mostly seem to be reading webcomics.
I don’t comment much, but sync’s draft feature feels very solid.
Otherwise I did feel jerboa was good and would have gotten used to it.
Is that any different to tapping the image in jerboa? Seems to act the same to me, so maybe I’m missing a nuance
Peek means that as long as you’re touching the thumbnail, you see the zoomed in image (after a short delay). When you release, it snaps back to the front page. Without peek you would touch, view the image, and then gesture ‘back’ to go back to the main page.
This works on articles and gifs too, not just images. So if the thumbnail is informative you can save a lot of time and steps and get a quick gist of what the article is talking about
Gotcha - thanks!
I never used sync on reddit (was on boost) The dark overlay feature is absolutely amazing for me
Personally I don’t pay for ultra and don’t really notice the ads
I don’t notice the ads either. They’re blocked systemwide. Lol
