I'm also on Connect. In what ways do you feel it is inferior to sync?
I'll be honest I was a RiF user and have never heard of sync until recently, but it seems just like any other app for Lemmy. Nothing special about it.
I 100% don't mind paid apps, but I'm only willing to pay for unique features that are useful to me. There's nothing missing from FOSS apps that only exists on Sync imho.
For me, Connect sometimes just lags while scrolling comments. Posts are fine but comments get messed up, doesn't happen on Sync. Also Sync just feels more polished and more intuitive
Mostly it is just that navigating feels much smoother. On the other apps it feels a bit clunky to navigate. Of course I should have prefaced this by saying your mileage may vary, but it isn't really about the features. In fact, if I'm being completely honest Sync is missing some of the features that the FOSS apps have.
