Almost all of Syncs business model is ads. The free version has ads and almost everyone who pays for it is doing so to remove ads. Which is just rewarding the implementation of ads. I also disagree with the concept of profiting from free user content with ads like Reddit does. Which was Reddits primary goal of preventing third party apps. They wanted the ad revenue themselves instead of third parties getting the ad revenue.

The only way this can be acceptable is to not have a free ad version and only have a paid version. That way you are paying for software and not paying to remove ads or profiting from free user content.

I'm a bit sad that my favorite (Infinity/Eternity) isn't that high up. Loved it since my Reddit days. Tried different clients: Lemmy, thunder, liftoff, sync,... still like this the most!

Closing in on 10 years of Sync (Reddit/Lemmy). I'm too used to it to switch things around. The only time I'm using the mobile website is when I need to use spoilers.

On desktop, I switch between default, Photon and Alexandrite.

Sync gang

Honestly, its made Lemmy so much more usable for me. Shout out to LJ

Memmy has been my favorite, although I wish it would go back to having updates. I understand they're taking a break though and I just need to be patient

I've noticed that all the Sync users are polite and never bash any other Lemmy client. Maybe because they know that we have a choice and they do too. I've got money to spare I will spend it on arguably the best app for Lemmy . You guys can use your FOSS . I never complained . Why are you??? Enjoy your clients. There are many. We have got an array of choices. That's awesome. Lemmy wins.

I love whoever answered: "I use a web browser like a Luddite" 🤣🤣

I've not found anything I like more than Voyager. It has native apps for android and iOS, but I prefer the progressive web app version.

Thunder for Lemmy been solid for me since I've been using it.

Still on Liftoff, but I wonder if it's still being updated.

I'm not sure which I find funnier, the fact some people are using the other option to put Sync or the one that just says "YOUR MOM"

I use Sync for now, but full disclosure I am Beyond 's developer and as soon as it becomes more stable and with more features I will be making the switch 😁

Was using Sync but switched to Jerboa, because FOSS.

I use Connect. I like it. Seems to do what I need and I've used the customize settings to set font colors, etc.

I'll definitely be checking out Boost when the dev gets it set up. He's a one man show and tries hard to get things running 100% before releasing updates, so, I'm guessing a new app might take longer.

Sync for Lemmy Ultra on mobile. Switching between photon and alexandrite on desktop.

Way too many Lemmy users don't care about running Free and Open Source Software.

Wow ~~seven~~ eight people in six minutes, thanks guys!

Good poll. I've been using liftoff. Tried jerboa, just didn't feel right. Liftoff has been solid experience for me.

Liftoff, though I kinda like the layout of Jerboa more, but it's scroll is too laggy.

Jerboa is close enough to RIF for me that it's borderline perfect as is.

Am I weird for still just using Firefox? I don't see the need for a standalone client.

I have four installed on Android: Sync, Jerboa, Connect and Voyager. Five if you count Firefox which is the only one that does all the admin tasks I need. I switch between them because as admin I find myself testing the user experience frequently.

I have Memmy on iOS, but really only use iOS for testing purposes. I don't browse with it.

I default to Sync for most browsing and commenting because the Dev is very active and it's the only client I know of with any mod tools at all. It is the most polished of the clients at the moment.

To be honest I was extremely skeptical about Sync because I didn't use it for Reddit and I thought that the default web-ui is pretty neat even on my mobile phone. But curiosity got me and I installed it, even though it's not FLOSS and it has ads in it which are two no-goes for me. Still I'm using it on the phone predominately, but I hate myself for it.

I was on Memmy but it seems to be abandoned so I switched to Avelon. It’s great!
