I’m over here bouncing between Memmy and Voyager solely because I miss Apollo.

It’s amazing how much an interface matters thought I enjoyed Reddit when really I enjoyed Apollo.

My point is, I don’t know what Sync is but if it’s what you like then hell yeah use the shit out of it.

Sync was a great app for Reddit. I used it as my main for a while before I got my first iPhone. I honestly don't understand all the hate for it here. There are several FOSS choices for Lemmy apps if anyone doesn't like it.

Sync was Apollo but on Android.

Not precisely, they weren’t 1-for-1 clones. But when I moved from Android to iOS I was easily able to adapt to Apollo from Sync. Very similar visuals, very similar gestures, similar developer devotion.

Sync was not only my favorite app for reddit, but IMO the best UI/UX of any app I've ever used. I enjoyed Connect until Sync came out, but now that it has I feel like I can finally enjoy Lemmy as much as reddit. Everyone will have their preferences and prices they're willing to pay, but $20 absolutely seems reasonable to me for how much I use it lol.

That is exactly how I felt about Apollo and the apps I mentioned earlier are absolutely allowing me to enjoy Lemmy.

I absolutely did not understand how to consume Lemmy before. But now… now I do.

Memmy is so fucking good.
