This is fantastic. Sync was the best and I tried multiple apps but kept coming back.

I always used baconreader because I'm after really compact and full function with options. I don't want giant image cards because I'm ten million years old (I'm not, I just like the outcome of having to design around simplicity and efficiency).

However, an actual app? Made by a popular, experienced, and successful app dev? I will 100% pay for and use that even though it's not my preferred design philosophy.

Lemmy and kbin are... alright as they are, but chrome is such a pos for multitasking and I would really love some clarity and consistency to the ux design across different instances and more and better options.

What I really want, ideally, is baconreader to make a universal fediverse app - but the likelihood of anybody making a universal app and that's good is very low, let alone my favorite 3rd party reddit app dev that's already said they don't plan on it.

Try Jerboa if you're on Android. It's made by the Lemmy devs and has had an explosion of activity and growth since Rexxit.

Jerboa is ok. It certainly isn't perfect but it's getting there. I've always liked baconreader too.

[–] a1studmuffin@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

BaconReader was my favourite as well. I hope the developer uses the opportunity come the end of the month to push users to the fediverse.

Liftoff is look good too

[–] erwan@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Jerboa is fine, but it's not as good as some of the Reddit apps.

Anyway it's great to see developers of Reddit apps releasing apps for Lemmy, because UI wise it's so close that they will probably be able to reuse most of their code. We'll get all the maturity of these apps on day 1 of the release, and competition between the apps will be healthy.

There's usually options for "list" view instead of "card" view.

[–] can@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Sync was completely customizable. You wouldn't believe how compact I made mine.

[–] gingernate@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Dude you can customize sync to make it super compact

[–] whygohomie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm not super familiar with Bacon reader nowadays, but Sync has a list view and a compact view that cram quite a few posts onto the screen. Hopefully its comparable.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I couldn't use anything else after Relay. But I will gladly take Sync over the mobile site.
