So what does sync do that lemmy on broswer doesn't?
Aside from the polish, it's also the familiar UX that many of us have used for a decade. It just feels familiar & right now!
Ehh ill give it a look. I generally avoid apps that are just a website.
It just adds ads that you can pay for to have it removed. Sync is piggybacking on the opensource devs.
What a terrible way of looking at it. UX matters a lot when youβre using a platform, and some people are willing to tolerate the occasional ad if they get a UX they like and are familiar with.
Gross, I was reading through this thread thinking about checking Sync out, but the idea of wilfully adding ads is so disgusting to me. The browser works well for me anyway, I don't think I'll end up getting an app unless it does something outstanding.
You love paying for the trackers, I love the downvotes.
Cry more
I'm not crying. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of paying to get rid of ads on an (previously) ad-free platform. Pretty damn sure who to blame for that crap.
What the fuck are you doing on this community of you hate Sync so much?
Most of us are here because we used Sync for Reddit for years and want that familiar UX.
But not all of us! Yesterday was the first time I tried it
A far more polished experience
Some people don't like using desktop.
I really wanted to just use the PWA, but Sync really is just so much better an experience right now. It's smooth, but it also doesn't lose my place in the feed every time I open a post. Trivial yet crucial!
It's a smother experience on mobile and more polished
