Jusy switched over from sync and its a remarkablelg better experience. Highly recommend
I haven’t tried Boost, but I swapped over to Summit and have been pleased with the experience. The thing I liked most about Sync was the amount of customization; Summit fills that space quite well.
My problem with boost is it’s double column layout sucks for readability. It’s great for images, but text based posts are too cramped up.
I err to eternity over boost because of that.
I switched to Boost a few weeks ago. I’ve also been happy with it.
Good bye Sync. Been using Sync since the Reddit days :(
Na, I like sync.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Many things already don’t work anymore.
Like what?
Not all posts & comments load anymore, and mark read hasn’t worked reliably for a few weeks. At least the lemmy.world team is trying to fix stuff for Sync users in the backend, but since the app is abandoned, it’s only a matter of time before it stops working completely - the Lemmy API is still evolving.
Is there any other App that has the tap to preview feature?
Does it have ads? I use Jerboa as its ad free.
I paid a one time fee of $4 to remove ads
Don’t see how its better than sync. Just looks like less features.
I don’t plan to switch but sync now has significantly less features since most are starting to not work. Sadly sync will be dead soon unless he comes back and does a pretty significant update. It’s only going to be harder after that since people are dropping the insanely priced subscription which was meant to help maintain the app. He’s lost the trust of his subscribers since it looks like he just took the money and dipped.
With that said its not uncommon to see him disappear then push an update quietly and become more active again. Without a doubt he’s still watching what we are saying.
