Lucky for me I accidentally double tapped when trying to move the zoomed in image only to see this waiting for me

I'm another Alacritty user. It's been my daily driver for years at this point and I have no complaints
Not sure what you're referring to, but I'm using it on a Pixel 7 without issue.
I mean I've thought about it. But I don't keep the same account for very long and I honestly wouldn't even know what I'm doing lol. And it feels weird to volunteer for the sake of volunteering ¯\(ツ)/¯
For what it's worth the dev said today he's working on regional pricing. Comment here to get your country priced out sooner
I should have thought to mention it. I'll update my comment 👍
All you should need to do is set the App Source URL to https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases/ and then toggle on Include prereleases. Once they get a full release out you can toggle it off
I've been using Obtainium instead and loaded Infinity through it this morning. You can also have it pull from f-droid repos instead of GitHub if you want when that hits
Edit: Currently the app is in prerelease so you'll need to toggle that option. Once they have a full release you can toggle it back off.
For me it's a familiarity thing. I'd been using Sync for Reddit for close to a decade. It's my defacto standard for feature set in these types of apps. I've tried and continue to use the apps that came out first, but every single one of them has quirks that don't align with how I prefer to use the platform. Sync does.
Saying all the apps are literally the same makes me wonder what it is you're looking to get out of them/how you use them. Do you like to share images from posts with people outside of Lemmy? That's easier on some than others.
For example, on Summit I have to open the image in the internal browser then the external browser then copy the link/share from there. On Connect they have a 3 dot menu that has a share url option. On Sync it's a 3 dot then share option/copy URL to clipboard.
It's little nuances like that that make or break an app for me. At a certain level these are all just interfaces to interact with the Lemmy platform so they are going to be similar in many ways. But some apps can offer a better user experience than others. It really depends on what you want/how you use the platform.
Yeah I've been using a lot of the available apps and while I had my favorites (Summit and Liftoff) there has always been little quirks that I've just been dealing with. The moment Sync hit my device it's like I'm back to my reddit experience for the last decade. I'll still keep an eye on the other apps, because I very much prefer and try to support open source developers. But I just can't force a subpar experience on myself.
The Summit dev has been extremely responsive and has added in a few features I requested on a quick turnaround. They also happen to be out of town on a work trip this week so the timing probably sucks for them. And as I'm typing this I'm remembering that ones not even open source 🤦♂️.
I don't agree with the premise that you can only charge for one or the other though. The Sync dev has a track record of putting out a very performant app for close to a decade. A one time ad removal fee and an optional subscription is pretty reasonable IMO.
I get the philosophical problems you have with it though. In the end I'm still using it because I paid like $5 none years ago and got way more than my money's worth with it on Reddit. The ad unlock is more expensive here, but it's probably an early adopter tax with the user base here being a tiny fraction of Reddit.
As for Apollo, I'm not sure how many Apple users pay for apps but if I had to guess they probably outnumber android users easily.
It also feels dirty to use an app only available in the Apple ecosystem as a paragon of open source ideals. That's a pretty adaptive Stallman meter.
