Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).
Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can't post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.
Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I'm not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I'm used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).
Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.
And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really "work" right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it's populated when I open it, versus Sync which can't make a connection.
Try connect, I recommend it highly.
What do you mean cannot post in Sync? I'm using Sync since day 1 and can post, like this comment
But sync can't submit new posts yet. Only comments.
oh shit right, this is why it's still a beta
Just migrated my main account from Lemmy world, not their fault but there's too many users in that instance, which is causing downtimes too often
Please excuse my maybe stupid question, but did you manage to move your account from lemmy.world to another instance? If so, would you please share how you did that?
Not stupid, it isn't straight forward, there's a python script that helps with transferring subscriptions, posts and comments can't be transfered though
Check out GitHub.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
For what it's worth, posting from sync should be available this week.
Sync is way too expensive if you want to get rid of ads too. I was considering paying
