Recently hopped over to Lemmy from Reddit, initially tried Boost and the web app and wasn't super happy with the experience however after installing Singing I can happily say the experience has improved vastly. It feels more promising and premium than the actual official Reddit app!

Jerboa or web browser for the win ๐Ÿ˜Ž.
Btw jerboa is dev by lemmy's des.

Jerboa was good for that first month when there wasn't any other good options. In 2024 it is far surpassed by most other apps.

Surpassed in what ? Some examples maybe ? I don't need a v8 to browse forums ^^"

Old style I guess,

well not everyone's a fan of Jerboa's UI...

Sync is dope. Does anyone know if there is a setting to display both upvotes and downvotes? That's my only minor annoyance so far. I think showing the cumulative votes misses a lot of context.

The customizable swipe actions are amazing ๐Ÿ™Œ

There doesn't seem to be a way in Past View or Comment Options, that's where I'd imagine the setting to be, cant seem to find a global option either.

There is an option called "Show Short Scores" though I can't seem to figure out what it does?

I'm pretty sure "show short scores" is meant to abbreviate larger vote totals. So for example, if a post has 1234 points, Sync will abbreviate it to 1.2k.

That makes sense!

The dev welcomes suggestions just so you know. I used sync for reddit for years before he was forced out and he has helped me troubleshoot one on one in the past. I'm still learning how lemmy works but whatever the equivalent of subreddits is just look for sync.

Yup I also ended up on sync. Seems to be the best.

@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works

I thought I'd mention that - if you haven't found it already - there's a bunch more post view options if you switch to Cards or Slides. (It took me forever to figure out how to change my text sizes and stuff because I usually switch to Smaller Cards or Compact right away - during the install wizard dealie, so before you would get to see all the options available in those 2 views.)

But, if you've already found that stuff, or you guys use slides and found it immediately... then I guess disregard this comment and have a lovely rest of your day/night cycle!

I used it for reddit and I'm using it here, my favorite app for sure!

[โ€“] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What didn't you like about Boost?

[โ€“] alice_mac@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The UI/UX just didn't appeal, I'm sure it's a great app Sync just feels much more fluid and inviting from the get go.

[โ€“] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Interesting. I liked Sync ok, but Boost just felt faster and cleaner to me.
