Open-source it a better interface then.

Until it's as useful as at least Sync for Lemmy, people will use 3rd party proprietary apps

I mean isn't Lemmy licensed under the AGPL? I'm just asking because AFAIK a proprietary client is not even allowed under this license.

You couldn't make a proprietary server. Client is fine, AGPL doesn't apply when you are accessing the server over a public API.

Thank you, didn't know this :)

There are a bunch of good FOSS Lemmy clients, which I'd argue are as good as Sync or Boost (I can't know for sure since I don't use proprietary software, I judge by the screenshots).

Jerboa sucks, I'll give you that. But both Voyager and Eternity are high quality clients that work amazingly well and are constantly updated. They have plenty of features and are very configurable.
