#42What does "Sync for Lemmy" do exactly.. there's no app description.
Re: Sync for Lemmy
#43I'm going to have to give this one a huge thumbs down. Injecting ads into a free and open source webapp that previously did not have any just to get people to buy your ad free version is the kind of thing Lemmy is trying to get away from. This is quite unacceptable in my opinion. If the developer removes the ad-ridden version and only makes a single purchase paid version then it would be acceptable as you would be bu…
so you're saying app developers should create apps for free, out of the goodness of their heart while they live in a van because they work for free?

What are you on about? Sync is a native app that uses the Lemmy API, not some webapp wrapper. And the original version also features ads unless you bought the pro version.

I'd like to see Apollo for Lemmy

I've tried moving to Lemmy, but as you've said it's less populated, significantly less from what I've seen. Almost to its detriment. What makes Reddit great is the niche smaller communities and the historical data they have (despite the search being awful). Lemmy sadly doesn't have this, small and even some big communities aren't there - wallstreetbets for example. Even subs with 100k+ users have low hundreds of memb…
Well, speaking from experience... most people are waiting for a client that doesn't suck before moving away from reddit.
the UX is fantastic though, tons of original content with almost zero spam. scaling the network seems hard as every event is a POST request (lol) but the community will persevere and overcome this imo

#49Thunder [1] is also worth checking out. IMO its UI is even slicker than Sync's, plus it's open source and not ad-supported/freemium. If you ever used Relay for Reddit, you'll feel right at home. [1] https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder
