Jusy switched over from sync and its a remarkablelg better experience. Highly recommend
I haven’t tried Boost, but I swapped over to Summit and have been pleased with the experience. The thing I liked most about Sync was the amount of customization; Summit fills that space quite well.
Boost is nice but I can’t deal with the lack of swipe gesture actions at this point in time. No other app has been a perfect substitute for Sync but after trying basically all of them I find Summit to be both the best right now but more importantly - the most promising for the future. Very active dev who is responsive and accommodating user requests.
Thanks for the Summit recommendation. I just tried it out when Sync for Lemmy stopped letting me login after I had to repatch it with Revanced, and it’s pretty great!
Anytime! It’s constantly getting better too, and coming from an absentee like ljdawson it’s so refreshing with a dev that is constantly interacting with the users.
I’ve even gotten accustomed to the squared profile picture icons and think round icons look weird now!
Is there any other App that has the tap to preview feature?
Na, I like sync.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Many things already don’t work anymore.
Like what?
Not all posts & comments load anymore, and mark read hasn’t worked reliably for a few weeks. At least the lemmy.world team is trying to fix stuff for Sync users in the backend, but since the app is abandoned, it’s only a matter of time before it stops working completely - the Lemmy API is still evolving.

This just seems like a loosing battle, they’d be better off just recommending saying it’s unsupported and that people move to alternatives.
Does it have ads? I use Jerboa as its ad free.
I paid a one time fee of $4 to remove ads
It’s worth it, too. I didn’t use Reddit, I used Boost for Reddit. Now, it’s Boost for Lemmy.
