I’m wondering if it’s just the rounded image corners

Nope. Im using cards view, edge to edge without rounded corners. Also I hate rounded corners. So can’t be the reason.

The app is just so smooth. Responsive. Fast. I don’t know what hes doing to get it that smooth, the app must preload and cache a lot maybe?

Can you recommend communities? A bunch exist but so many have little to no activity.

Alright I keep hearing about this one time payment to remove ads for 20$. Anyone know where I can find it?

I might end up getting a sync ultra subscription but for now I just want to remove ads.

Also… I feel like I’m a crazy person but I’m not seeing many or any ads in the first place. or maybe I’m just not noticing them as I scroll.

Thanks in advance for anyone letting me know.

He’s working on a onetime purchase to remove ads as stickied in the release thread. No idea where you got the $20 from. (Update: it’s in the beta lol)

I’m actually already getting no ads by blocking with adguard’s dns already. Just a thing to set in your phone’s settings.

If you’re already not seeing that many annoying ads in the first place, maybe just hold out on purchasing anything then lol.

It’s a little bit I want to remove ads, it’s much more I want to support the dev

It’s nice. I’m from Boost, but this works well

I’m just going to keep using Thunder until Boost comes out. Sync feels a little clunky.

Same as you… Although I’m jumping from sync to thunder every now an then, for me personally, the way comments looks on sync makes some visual noise, thunder in this regards looks better, but for every other thing, sync is apretty solid app…

No. I used to use Sync for reddit back in the day when there weren’t better options. I’ve just moved to apps that have more functionality and more convenient gestures/UI like Boost.

As for Lemmy, I tried Sync because I assumed it would be better than the initial lemmy offerings, and found it wasn’t much improved from the early days of reddit sync and was lacking options and polish compared to apps like Thunder.

Not sure why you need to be condescending, trying to defend some app just because I said it was clunky.

Same! Can’t wait for Boost! But I do like sync as well. Feels like a solid app.

Give Infinity for Lemmy a try. It’s just as good IMO, and unlike Sync, you don’t have to pay $99 to permanently stop it from spying on you.

I was so glad to see infinity for lemmy. I used infinity for reddit and that had a ui that both looked good and was intuitive. I was super excited to see that there was now a fork of it for use with lemmy.

“99 to permanently stop it from spying on you.”

No you don’t have to pay at all actually. In fact people can choose to pay for something they love that works better than half the Lemmy apps I have already tried. I will pay for something that works.

Open source doesn’t always mean you are any more safe either. I feel like this community thinks it knows more about security than it actually does.

Lemmy itself has encountered numerous cyber attacks.

And it’s taken sites down. It’s almost as if this community doesn’t know as much about security as it claims it does.
