    It has ads… Why are people so excited about this? Jerboa is open source with no ads and works perfectly.

      True, but I found Jerboa to be very unpolished and barely worked so I crawled back to Reddit. Now that Sync for lemmy is released I feel right at home.

      Personally, I love the UI/UX of it and how customizable it is. For me, it’s unparalleled, and I’m happy to pay for it to support the independent developer behind it. But I get that not everyone cares about it and would rather use a different option, and it’s cool that there are so many different options to interact with the fediverse.

      I used the app for years and intended on removing ads as soon as it launched.

      Be cause Sync is a beautiful app with incredible flexibility. Jerboa is fugly.

      If you don’t like it, or are a foss purist, don’t use it.

      They also cross post on every single instance and tech community so I have only seen 1 million “sync for Lenny” posts…… so far
