I’ve been using Sync for a while, but it repeatedly hits an error when I try to submit posts to Beehaw. I have not tried other instances, but I am assuming this issue is specific to Sync. Getting really sick of drafting posts and then having to discard them because the app errors out 🤦

    I use connect to browse.

    I tried sync for a little but honestly it’s very underwhelming compared to the reddit version. Nowhere as smooth plus dev is constantly disappearing for months on end.

    I use Connect. It’s perfect for me and has lots of customization options. I love it! Raccoon is good, too, I just prefer Connect.

    I moved to Connect this week, coming from Liftoff and Thunder. It feels stable in an old tablet. No obvious issues yet.

    Boost for Lemmy, one of the most fully fledged apps IMO due to the long dev time put into Boost for Reddit. I also just like that it’s a solo dev from Portugal, don’t care that it’s not FOSS because of this.

      I wouldn’t care that much either that it’s not FOSS, however I do care that it’s filled with trackers, similarly to Boost for reddit

            From my understanding apps are able to have versions for their free and pro apps without having to keep them separate. The dev has stated that all of the trackers present in the app are google trackers for him to get revenue from ads and are stripped from the paid version. I only know this cause over the years on his reddit app it would come up from time to time, one memorable example when someone was complaining about getting NSFW ads in the app and how any self-respecting user would use an app that showed those ads… Turns out they had ad personalization turned on and their history shared some light about the sorts of sites they were searching for lol.

            What, yeah, definitely points against having tracking. But also small time developers don’t have to follow FOSS when they just want to provide a good service for free with ads, and Google Play Store is the easiest way to make that happen for him. He made enough from Boost for Reddit monthly that it negatively impacted him during the API change. Maybe I’m a fool for having some trust here and there, but I also just don’t care too much.

            But, I know others do so that’s why I always mention that as a possible shortcoming and let people decide from there.

    Liftoff… but I wouldn’t recommend it.

    It hasn’t been updated in a long while, it has some even larger missing features, and some extra bugs.

    Sync… was actually one of the few to update for some Beehaw-apecific bugs some time ago, you might want to contact the developer with your issues.

    I keep it as a bav6for when Liftoff fails, the draft feature is pretty nice, and it has better search.

      I alternate between Jerboa and Summit because Jerboa looks nicer, but Summit has more features and a much better search function. Tho I am not happy with Jerboa’s last update that changed how votes are displayed and there’s no options to go back to what it was.

      Edit: lol Jerboa just updated and added an option for the old score view.

    I use Connect.

    I used to use Jerboa but it broke after an update and I switched over, I found it to be a better UX on Connect.
