If it gets people to stop using Reddit, it works
Well we are spoiled for choice none the less
This. It’s not for me. But I’m glad it exists.
Actually I’ve been using Jerboa for long enough that I’ve really gotten used to it and I love it now, super functional
It’s functional for sure, but the scrolling feels so janky
It seems unsustainable and mixed up to think no one should ever use non-FOSS options for anything.
Maybe that would be the case if we were in some post scarcity perfect society where no one needed income, and all devs were just doing it for self-fulfillment, but I can’t blame someone for wanting to make income off of their work. Especially if they seem like a reasonable person, wanting reasonable amounts for good work.
Isn’t supporting a smaller dev a good thing? I mean, this guy got screwed over by reddit fucking up his income.
Ain’t that the truth. People act like charging for software is evil no matter what. There’s a huge difference between a lone dev trying to earn a living and a huge corporation trying to wring every last ounce of profit out of their users. And there’s probably degrees of nuance between those.
Especially if they seem like a reasonable person, wanting reasonable amounts for good work.
And that’s the important context in this discussion. You’ve got a dev who’s active in the community and who builds an app not only with great features and UI but with stability too. And he has a not insignificant user base that is familiar not just with his work but essentially with this exact app… It’s reasonable for him to assume we’ll see the value and be willing to pay. And he is correct.
I’m personally averse to subscription models, but again context matters. Reasonable rate and you know what you’re getting. And I say this as a huge fan of both FOSS and socialism. I could have easily just let my DNS continue to filter out the ads, but I appreciate quality and believe it should be appropriately compensated.

That pill bottle was ripped open and I snorted all that sync as soon as it was refilled.
When Sync got released, I was feeling guilty using it (as a jerboa user). But over time, I got used to it. It makes me use lemmy on my phone too, so I still consider this step in a better direction.
Functionality wise, I dislike icons and app icon on jerboa.
Infinity For Lemmy dropped not so long ago in F-Droid!!
I’m really enjoying Thunder. Love the comment screen
Just wait until Boost comes out…
What I’m still struggling with is if it’s still ok with my mortal compass to use Reddit to find information I know will be there. Specifically, product reviews.
I’m no longer contributing content on Reddit, and I’m not passively browsing either, but how do y’all feel about tapping reddit’s wealth of information?
If this actually causes you headaches, go touch grass please.
With how long it’s taking to have something to download, Boost is either gonna be left behind or will be the best app ever that was worth the wait.
Why do none of these memes mention connect? It’s the best one.
If you think that’s the best one, you haven’t tried Sync.
Bad take.
Those who say that, haven’t tried Sync.
I actually tried it before, didn’t feel it was that much better over the open source alternatives
