Thanks for letting me know that theres a Lemmy Version of Infinity :D

Sync is fine. More good apps are better for the platform and really needed.

I personally will probably not use Sync for long. I remember using it for Reddit for a while but noticing the app was updated to slow which over time broke some stuff. Then I went onto the Sync sub and apparently the dev is a bit...sensitive when there's negative community feedback and then just stops for a year or longer or so. Good on him if he can of course, it's not like he has to cope with the internet but I've found other apps to be more reliable overall for Reddit. Let's see how this one goes.

I'm fine with paying a one-time charge for an app, but I will never rent software.

Sync isn't FOSS. It's just free.

If you purchased Sync for Reddit in the past, can you recover that purchase in the Sync for Lemmy?

Sync is very well made in my opinion it's one of the few apps out there which I truly think deserves my support.

It's an inconvenient truth for sure. I'm using sync right now because it's the best app experience on android at the moment if you don't need to top level post and because I used it with Reddit. This wasn't a big deal with Reddit imo, but using a closed source app to access an open source platform feels wrong.

There's a line in the sand with security and transparency on one side and ease-of-use and convenience on the other.

I feel like most people don't really care about open source or federations..they just want an easy to access news/commenting platform.

It's a great examples of devs telling users what they want.

I am so happy to finally have Sync again. Was always my most used app before the API death on Reddit. Always happy to support LJ.

This seems like a decent place to ask-

I'm looking for two main things, can anyone advise if any of these apps can do both of these things:

Can I swipe on post view to go to the next/prev post?

Does it track "read" posts and support hiding those posts?

For context I'm coming from Joey. Essentially, I'd like the post view or view with comments as my usual and I swipe to go to the next post. And when I go back to the list view of all posts, no "read" posts I've visited are there. And of course this carries through multiple sessions.

Is there an android client like this?

Edit: Infinity seems to work exactly how I want, after tweaking the settings a bit.

Infinity for lemmy is the way to go

There are tons of lemmy apps in development now. Are there any kbin apps being developed? I haven't heard of one yet

So many years wasted on reddit... only reason was that I liked infinity and it made my experience good...

Infinity for lemmy feels like rediscovering an old friend!

as a software engineer there's nothing wrong with that, but I think the developer should lower the add-free fee
