Sadly I think I’m finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn’t maintained.

    I’ve test driven a majority of the apps at this point, and I think the variety of apps we have to choose from is impressive. They all feel pretty different too, so everyone should be able to find what works for them.

    I think it was Connect I kept installed longest other than Summit and the discontinued Liftoff. I was a huge Boost fan on Reddit, but never jelled with the Lenny implementation.

      me too on boost!

      boost was the only way i used reddit, nothing else came close.

      I can’t tell what’s different in the implementation here, but it does not click.

      jerboa for lemmy is the closest to the simplicity I enjoyed in boost for reddit, and I do think summit merits another look in a month or two

        Boost still looked nice, but the posting UI was terrible for me. I couldn’t figure out how to do half the things I wanted to do, and since I became a regular poster using a ton of media and formatting, it was just a no-go.

        The dev has done a lot to help with my specific use cases, and I haven’t started since. I gave everything a look around the end of the year to make sure I wasn’t missing out on anything, but at this point I don’t feel I’m missing a thing from the experience.

        I like the apps are all independent in that we can try one or all and hop between them at will without losing anything.

          yea, it is nice that the devs are so dedicated to creating unique clients for us

          and their work itself is so impressive.
