I didn’t like infinity because of a big pile of little things. half of which could be described as just habit.

probably I wouldn’t have been okay to stick with it but Sync came to lemmy. sync > infinity hands down. try it.

No “swipe to hide post”. The only swipe actions I can find on Infinity are up/down vote.

From my brief testing with infinity, it does seem pretty good. I like that the feed doesn’t bounce around like liftoff as images load. But sync just has much more customization. If I wasn’t willing to pay, I’d probably be using infinity. But I had years of use with sync and that improved experience is worth the cost for me.

I’ve used sync since 2014 because Sync is amazing. The most recent redesign made it the best looking app I have ever used, and that’s still true to this day. Also Sync can be as free, I don’t have ads because I like the dev and gave him $20. Now I’ll continue to use this app for thousands of hours over the next 10 years.
