Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

    I’m using Sync right now. I’ve tried a few different lemmy apps and this is the only one that actually works without bugs. Maybe because it’s a paid developers full time job and not just some free side project?

    I do wish it wasn’t a subscription. Apps are generally a flat fee.

      yeah I think I’ll go to the ad removal fee. it’s expensive but I use it a lot 🤷‍♂️

      I originally did the monthly sub because I didn’t have an option and that was the cheapest, it is kinda pricey but it’s light years ahead of what I was using

      also I’m a developer and I think the guy who made it has probably working like mad to make this, and if it’s his sole income and it got pulled out from under him… idk. it’s a gamble to not just go get a 9-5 and work on this instead

      bro has to eat and I already donate to my local instance.

      I love Sync but it’s worth noting some basic features aren’t implemented yet like submitting posts.

          To be fair, a lot of those people are Reddit refugees that fled to lemmy.world and were fairly removed to begin with. I’m honestly not even sure why they left Reddit to begin with.

      I wouldn’t say it’s entirely bug free. There are silent crashes and sometimes your position is lost but it works fine.
