Or they like to hang the carrot that they will “someday” go open source.

Arctic is good and getting better. But dude is too ashamed of his code to allow our help.

I mean, fair though. I would never want anyone looking at my code either.

The comments on my code would be all apologies, "my code is crap, sorry" "this shouldn't work but it does. Forgive me" "Beware all that enter, I apologize for the spaghetti everywhere"

Any paid app is a joke to me. Been very very happy with Voyager for a long while now.

Is this an ethical take, or just a general one?

I'm using boost and am happy to have donated - it's a good app and the dev is decent.

I despise the iOS UI of Voyager. It literally looks like an iOS 5 app. I don't want that crap on my android device in 2025!

Sync has the most polished, most "Android" UI. The developer disappeared for years at a time before, so he'll be back again.

I've switched over to Voyager from Sync and I agree about the UI. It's fine but Sync is just prettier and also smoother to use. I miss being able to swipe from the left to bring up the sidebar for communities.

I've tried loads of clients and none come close to Sync in terms of UI and performance, but unfortunately it's buggy (main gripe for me is not being able to see comments on communities from my own instance that I'm not subscribed to), and the app developer seems to have abandoned it.

I've looked online to see whether other people had this bug and couldn't find anything.

I didn't realise it was as specific as you say, I might look at using a different account for browsing feddit.uk which feels kind of ironic

This one seems to be about any community on a local instance.

https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/542

This one is the same issue I mentioned where it only applies to communities that you're not subscribed to. Funnily enough I commented on that issue and the bug reporter said they had the same issue, but the bug reporter from the first link said it's slightly different for them.

Either way, there's some funkiness with comments not showing up from a local instance.

I despise the Android UI of Immich. It literally looks like an Android 4.4 app. I don't want that crap on my iPhone in 2025!

Voyager has the most polished, most "iOS" UI. The developer disappeared for days at a time before, so he'll be back again. /s

People were like "I'm spending all of my money on Sync for Lemmy" when it first released. And it steals your data. Never understood why this one would be preferred over the dozens of actually FOSS or free apps for lemmy

[–] Potatisen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Which FOSS Lemmy app do you recommend?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

!voyagerapp@lemmy.world is a popular recommendation.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Interstellar has an awesome dev, very responsive and helpful!

Edit: Fixed, lol

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Interstellar I guess?
