It’s def still the best app though. For me personally the only reason why I’m on lemmy.

Same, but I’m also not concerned about FOSS, I just want a reliable app and sync is it.

I agree. I used it for 10 years on reddit (I paid $0.99) and bought the lifetime ad removal for the Lemmy version when it came out. It’s not what OP is looking for though.

If Sync didn’t exist I would use Thunder. It works well, has a nice interface, and is FOSS.

I just dropped Sync. I’ve used it for reddit since the app came out. Even paid for the premium version years ago. My purchase didn’t carry over to the lemmy version, and I noticed the app collects data for marketing now. Switched to Voyager, it’s not as fluid as Sync but I’ll get used to it.

Summit isn’t FOSS.

Well that sucks. I still prefer it over the other ones I tried. Plus the dev uses Lemmy so that’s always a plus.

Which Lemmy client dev doesn’t have a lemmy account?

I use Summit for now. I went through quite a few others but this one is a keeper.

I was using Eternity, then switched to Summit but after learning that the GitHub repo was only to let people use obtainium (so no real source is available), switched back to Jerboa. Now that it has support for moderation tools, I don’t think I need to make a switch atm.
