I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!

EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

    I installed both Jerboa and Liftoff and ended up on Sync.

    I run Linux and 99% foss software on PC and same on phone.

    Sync was the only android client I tried that was usable. The keyboard bug in jerboa was maddening

      You could try out Eternity. It’s a fork of Infinity for Reddit and has great UI/UX design. Though not using latest M3 design guidelines it’s lightyears ahead of Liftoff, Thunder, etc. imo (which I couldn’t stand personally - tastes vary ofc!)

      You can get Eternity from F-droid when you enable the IzzyDroid Repository (included in droid-ify, a much better fdroid client than the official one)

        Just installed it. Long time infinity user, now a jerboa user after the switch.

        Eternity looks great! The biggest issues I had with other apps is the unchangable Instagram layout where even with a log phone I can see maybe 1 post at a time. Then I also like seeing the community icon to know where the post is.

        Compacter comments where you can easily see levels, but it doesn’t load every child comment all the time at once. Both jerboa and eternity are the only FOSS apps that fit that bill 😊

      I was similar with Jerboa first then Sync despite being mostly a Bacon user at Reddit. I tried Sync just before the Hoopla started.

      I found the sensitive swipe gestures of Jerboa difficult as there was no way to turn them off so when Sync came along it became the default for me as the swipe features don’t cause as issue for me.

      I’m android and went through about 1 month of switching between clients to find the one I liked the most. Connect was the winner for me. Multiple accounts, hide read, good default UI amongst a handful of other things

        idk if the other commenter experienced the same bug as I did, but for me, deleting characters in the comment text box would also delete the last space. So, for example, if I typed “idk if the other commenzr”, and I started deleting the ‘r’ and then ‘z’, the text would turn into "“idk if the othercommen”. It would just keep going like that. Otherwise Jerboa is fantastic though, but it get’s annoying fast.
