I think I like Sync, having messed around with it a little today, except I didn’t realise when I paid for it that it doesn’t (yet) have the capacity to create a new post, only replies on existing ones. I dunno, I kind of assumed that making new conversations would be a fairly high priority…
That’s… interesting. I guess it’s in beta, but it does seem odd to not have post creation functionality. I guess they’ve released it for people to use as soon as there is something worth using, hopefully features come thick and fast.
I know Sync is very popular, so I’m going to give it a go. However, after trying many clients (Jerboa, Connect, Summit, Liftoff, Lemming, Thunder) my favourite so far has been Liftoff.
ETA: First impression - why is all the text so tiny? I can barely read it. I need my glasses 😂
Yeah I found it tiny as well. I also enjoy Liftoff the most , it’s my option of choice. Think the only feature I miss is that when you share an URL, it doesn’t auto populate the Title. Jerboa does this.
I must be blind (ha!) But I can’t find general text settings. I’ve increase the size of post titles and descriptions, but comments are still teeny tiny eyestrain-o-vision…
It’s called Base font size and is under the General section of the General section of Settings. I had to increase mine too, it’s crazy small by default.
I personally like the small text! I used the smallest setting on the reddit version of sync. I like that it makes it harder for someone to read what I’m reading over my shoulder 😁
Sync is (in my opinion) the smoothest way to experience Lemmy at the moment. I used Sync for about 10 years on Reddit and have had nothing but good experiences
Never used Sync for Reddit, and it’s cool that Lemmy is getting a lot of choice in apps. The app seems quite nice, but a paid, closed source model is off-putting for me (including tracking on the ad supported version). Also, I feel like Voyager is a better experience overall, and does a better job of handling the Lemmy/fediverse specific features. I’m sure that will improve on Sync over time of course, and if people prefer it then great!
