I don’t have a problem, YOU have a problem!
No kbin? Looks like we’ve got an amateur over here!
That’s a shiny that I haven’t caught yet, there are legends that it’s out there somewhere
You’re right, I do. I only have 1 app. What’s wrong with me.
What is your most favorite one you’d recommend?
Thunder and sync are the ones I use the most but they’re almost all good, if one has a bug I just switch lol
beyond ? i never tried it how to get it
I think I got it from the playstore
I’m really enjoying Thunder. Love the comment screen
Thunder has been my main app for a while but Sync just works so well. Also seems to be less battery intensive.
I was on the fence because I didn’t need the subscription features, but instantly bought the ad free IAP for $12.99 as soon as it was added. It still seems a bit steep for an app, but it’s one-time, and supports the Dev (whose Reddit app I used for years) so I didn’t really mind. That and it was $0.40 after using my opinion rewards credits
I’m willing to give a lot of leeway these days for single purchase pricing. Everybody in their freaking brother is going on the subscription model. These people are asking for one year worth of subscription price upfront and lifetime access to an app I am all about it.
Love Connect
I was starting to think I was the only one. This is the first I’ve seen someone else mention it.
Love connect
I think it’s because it’s kind of irrelevant to the discussion.
Connect:
- is completely free - no ads
- but not FOSS
It’s never going to be featured in general FOSS Team depictions or discussions.
Me too, but for some reason it makes my phone run hot

It’s my new RiF.
I am really enjoying Sync so far. It’s a great Lemmy client.
Connect: Am I a joke to you?
All these shit posts are fun, but why is connect a red haired step child all the time? Any legit arguments against it? Has room for improvement, but it’s the best I’ve found thus far.
Lemmy with choices. Lemmy wins
That pill bottle was ripped open and I snorted all that sync as soon as it was refilled.

How is Sync so much smoother and faster than others?
A decade of development and optimization vs a couple of weeks/months.
Shouldn’t Infinity have the same polish then? I am a Software Engineer (not front-end though) and I’d be fascinated to learn the technical differences.
My guess is because it’s not the original developer for the app. So they are still figuring things out on how to transition the app to Lemmy.
But I have no doubt they’ll get there :)
Infinity is going to be great once everything is properly supported!
Any news if it’s coming to the Play Store?
As far as I know, that’s the plan. They just haven’t had an initial non-alpha/beta release yet since the app is still quite unfinished (references to Reddit, certain menus just error out, etc.)
You usually want to have a product that is kind of working when you ship it to normies
I’m on Jerboa and downloaded/installed sync yesterday. As a former RIF user, I don’t have a horse in this race. I am more familiar with Jerboa, but find the overall feel of both (admittedly, without a lot of use, to be pretty comparable).
That said, I kind of like some of the ideas in Jerboa more? For example, tap to minimize comments and their children on Jerboa is quite a bit faster. I’m kind of sad that both make selecting some of the text in a comment hard and miss the RIF collapse/expand button. Jerboa also matches the font size of everything else in my UI better than Sync. For example, the font size of this reply and my keyboard are the same in Jerboa. In Sync the in-app font size is quite a bit smaller.
At the end of the day, I think that both apps are going to be largely comparable for a fairly casual user like me. I bet both offer more functionality than I’m using, but so far I don’t feel like I’m missing anything.
Just an FYI, you can change the “tap to minimize comments and their children” faster in the settings for sync. Same with font size
That’s what I like about sync the most, you can customize it to a T.
Thanks, will have to customize both and a/b it for a while.
I no longer have an Android so idk how the new Sync is, but the version for Reddit was extremely customizable and did have option to disable tap to minimize and give you a button instead. I used Sync daily for nearly 10 years and it’s by far the best experience I’ve had
Thanks for the info, I will have to dig for that option. Part of the reason why I asked to see what I was missing :)
Settings shortcut: Comment options > Single click to hide comment
Font typeface and relative size options:
Thanks!
I used jerboa for last few months, but I got sync the other day, and it is very smooth but I’m really missing certain things from jerboa I found super intuitive. Also in sync I can’t seem to highlight, copy, paste from a posted comment…perhaps that’s a paid feature only? Also no post creation is kinda lame, and I hope that is not behind a pay wall too. …I don’t mind paying guy for his work, but I can’t afford it.
I was also a RiF user (:
Should be this option when you tap a comment and hit the triple dot button.
In RIF you could tap-hold on the text to select it since they had a dedicated button for collapse.
Yeah that option is only available for posts on sync unfortunately.
But a neato system wide thing with Android is now you can use recents to select text on any app. It’s so convenient.
I honestly couldn’t stand Jerboa personally back when I used it so for me it’s nothing like sync (which is my favourite app so far even on the free version), but maybe Jerboa has improved since I left.
Former RIF user + current Jerboa user, too. I’m happy so far. I’m also very casual/waaaay less tech knowledgeable than most other people on the platform, and I’m sure that has influenced my opionion
Idk who needs to know this , but despite using an alpha version of infinity , it is the smoothest app I have tried so far for lemmy!
can you link it please or tell me if u can get in GitHub I did went there but it’s no apk
It’s on Codeberg, here’s the link: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
that was so fast thank you so much
Infinity for lemmy just dropped in F-droid. Hello old friend…glad you’ve arrived
Thanks! Just grabbed it. It is my favorite so far, probably cause I used infinity on Reddit.
Hmm, can’t find it on fdroid, do I need to add a repo?
It’s specifically on the IzzyOnDroid repo, instructions here:
I think the version on repo is older than the git version

Huge sync fan and pro user for many years now but I couldn’t get over the subscription and especially the one off cost, it’s just too much.
Been using infinity for reddit as soon as sync went down and it’s easily my favourite app out of all that’s available but it’s not without it’s downsides, at least to me. So I’ll happily use inifity for lemmy from now on, it even seems to run better then the reddit app lol.
Same here. It was my second favorite Reddit client (after Boost, and, for a while, Dash), but I feel he priced himself right out of the market. I’m waiting to see what Boost for Lemmy has to offer and at what cost.
I never really warmed up to Infinity for Reddit, but I’ll give it another shot. Connect and LiftOff aren’t bad either for being this early in development and Voyager just came out swinging.
Sync is where it’s at
inifinity supremacy
