What gives DENTISTS feelings of power? Shaming non-FLOSS users.
But have you tried Jerboa?

Jerboa was really not good
yimby@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
What exactly did you not like? Using it now and it’s come a huge way in just a few weeks. Of all the apps I’ve tried it had the most compact and quick interface.
I feel people had a lot of loading issues when instances were going down left and right which gave Jerboa an unfair reputation through no fault of its own.
Cabrio@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As an ex-RIF user, Jerboa was the one I stuck with, I’ve just switched to the new Voyager native app, partly because there were some minor feature issues, and performance issues in the last week, mostly just the app crashing when running into comments of blocked users and when scrolling longer threads.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It crashing like 50% of the time when I hit the back button.
buzziebee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For some reason I could no longer post replies to comments. I could log in, but it kept me stuck on anonymous for some reason. It also had pretty crap sorting ui so I just ended up seeing the same posts for days at a time, and when clicking on links it insisted on opening them in an external browser.
Compared to RiF it wasn’t a smooth UX for me. Sync I can tweak and it looks and feels very nice with no issues so far. I’ll probably try other options as things mature, but for now this is definitely “good enough” whereas other options weren’t for me.
The only thing I’d change about sync UI wise currently is the indentation of the comment actions. When I tap on a comment to upvote I expect it to be aligned with the comment, instead it’s always at full width. I keep bookmarking things by mistake.

Huh. Not sure what it is about this beard style and superiority but this Pic and this discussion remind me of xkcd.com/743
Occasionally people are just smug and superior because they are right.

I mean, in fairness, the open standard Office Open XML format did win out.
But that also went public in 2006. Open Office XML, the not-so-confusingly named alternative, is practically extinct.

I’m a sync ultra user. My sense of superiority is only eclipsed by my ignorance of what FOSS stood for. But seriously use what you like. I just want lemmy to grow.
pancakes@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I installed sync yesterday and am having a really hard time getting it to work as well as Jerboa. i feel like I’ve been in every setting, but the layout and UX just didn’t seem nearly as good. It just seems like everything is multiple extra actions to do the same thing in Jerboa.
Like, what do you have to do to get a seamless experience in sync?
SadTrain@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Years of tweaking my Sync for Reddit app and then just importing the settings in 3 taps. It’s not the answer you were looking for, but it’s what a lot of us did.
Cabrio@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I love Jerboa for what it is, but just switched to the new native Voyager app and am very happy.
Cornfed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, I have used sync for years. Decided to switch to Lemmy once sync announced an app in production. I used Jerboa and Connect in the meantime, but now that Sync is here, it’s like sinking back into a warm bath.
I’m here because of Sync, and if it is good that I am here, it is good that Sync is here.

FOSS is also important too. It means free and open source software. wikipedia.org/…/Free_and_open-source_software
Free in this case means something different, I’d recommend a read up on it too www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software
Freesoftwareenjoyer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s about having the freedom to control your own devices. Proprietary software like Sync takes away that freedom, so it’s unethical. We should be complaining about it.
ConfuzedAZ@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’re going to have to explain how purchasing and using software that is completely voluntary takes away any freedom from anyone. It’s literally just a ui wrapper with different visuals and functionality that some people find useful enough to pay for. Entire legions of people protested the removal of these apps from Reddit. Nothing is free, the concept of that is broken.
danc4498@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yesss… I agreeee… Use what I like. I will make them use what I like!!!
Dultas@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We should probably start emailing all the Lemmy devs, client devs, etc. and shaming them for using GitHub since it’s not open source and open source options for source control are available. /s

I mean, there is Gitlab.

rustic_tiddles@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Unless you’re an independently wealthy jackass, I’m not sure how you can attack non-FOSS software users. I am a software engineer and I get paid to write software. I write some code for fun at home too and if people use any of my projects Im delighted. But if you want bug fixes and reliability and consistent new features and updates to apis and I have to listen to your bullshit complaints about how XYZ is better, you bet your ass I’m gonna charge for that.
It’s like a baker making bread who gives out a few loaves for free at first. You don’t get to complain if 100s of people show up demanding free bread and he starts charging them. Maybe communism is a system that demands people work for free, but elsewhere you’re entitled to whatever wage the market will bear.
Gyrolemmy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The bread analogy dies at the same point that the piracy argument dies. It isnt truly stealing to make a copy of something… and it doesnt cost a developer more effort the more people that download their app.
Yes i would download a car.
sxan@midwest.social 1 year ago
Years ago, I came to the conclusion that the right way to support yourself being a software company was to provide service, not software. I also believe selling software licenses to for-profit companies is a good strategy. Bug bounties are fine too.
Point is, I think there are plenty of ways software developers can make a living without being closed-source or nag-ware. Most companies do not want their employees spending time fixing bugs in software, and many are fine paying reasonable licensing fees as long as their software group is satisfied with the service - which mainly happens when said IT group isn’t having to spend too much time messing with it.
Historical_General@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m reminded that in the past every release of a software (at least the major ones) would be a single paid-for release. Obviously the google play model inhibits that kind of sensible monetisation straegy for now (I think).

The Free Software movement has nothing to do with price. It’s about freedom. We deserve to have the freedom to control our own devices. Proprietary software takes that away, so it’s unethical.

It’s shame, if only the ideology wasn’t born in an anglophone country maybe this common misconception would have never been a thing in the first place.

sarcasticsunrise@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Hey, you’re me! I’m a big fan of Sync (free version) thus far, and I’ve been able to tailor it as such that it’s damn near LiF for me. I love all the options and customization it offers. Big ups to Liftoff too, still use that from time to time

I was using Jerboa up until now and am now using Sync because I used it for Reddit.
…and that’s it. I don’t understand why this gets so much talk. There are so many options. Just use something. We all want Lemmy to grow so I don’t see the problem.
Xeknos@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This. I’ve been using Jerboa ever since making the switch to Lemmy. There wasn’t much of a learning curve and it basically does what I want, so I’m happy with it.
havocpants@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Me too, I have no idea where the complaints about Jerboa are coming from. I mean, it shows posts and comments, how radically different are these alternate apps? They all look the same to me!
TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I wish they’d just fix the bug when pressing backspace to edit comments.
terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I started off using jerboa. Just installed sync to see what the fuss is about. At the core it’s pretty much the same. One thing sync does better, at least on my phone, is smoother loading/rendering of content. There were times id actually use Lemmy web instead.
With that said, my favorite reddit app Boost, is working on a Lemmy client too. So I’m looking forward to that as well.
Am I ditching jerboa? No, not yet.
Spliffman1@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Amen 🙏
IMALlama@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I put this in a other thread, but am genuinely interested in getting feedback.
I’m currently on Jerboa and downloaded/installed sync yesterday. As a former RIF user, I don’t have a horse in this race. I am more familiar with Jerboa, but find the overall feel of both (admittedly, without a lot of use), to be pretty comparable.
That said, I kind of like some of the ideas in Jerboa more? For example, tap to minimize comments and their children on Jerboa is quite a bit faster. I’m kind of sad that both make selecting some of the text in a comment hard and miss the dedicated RIF collapse/expand comment tree button. Jerboa also matches the font size of everything else in my UI better than Sync. For example, the font size of this reply and my keyboard are the same in Jerboa. In Sync the in-app font size is quite a bit smaller.
At the end of the day, I think that both apps are going to be largely comparable for a fairly casual user like me. I bet both offer more functionality than I’m using, but so far I don’t feel like I’m missing anything.
Zalack@startrek.website 1 year ago
You can customize both those options in Sync. I had the same initial issues, but you can switch comment collapse to single tap as well as increase font size.
Sync is very very customizable.
FederatedSaint@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I am exactly your use-case. Was using RIF, then I’ve been using Jerboa up until Sync was released. I never used Sync for Reddit.
My opinion on the two differs from yours, however. Sync seems SO much better than Jerboa to me. Yep, the font was small but I was able to embiggen it. Everything else seems faster and more intuitive. Jerboa was so buggy for me.
Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
As a former RIF user I like the way the comments look on synch better. Reminds me or RiF
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 year ago
Another killer features Sync has that (AFAIK) no other Lemmy android apps currently have:
long pressing a community in the community list drawers will open that community in a new activity windows, essentially the android equivalent to open in a new “window”. Use your phone’s app switcher to switch between these “window”. There is even an option to allow you to open posts in a new window as well. Very handy if you want to write a comment while looking for some information in another thread, or if you’re on a tablet and want to pin multiple sync windows on the screen.
Sync will open links to a lemmy post natively instead of in an embedded web browser.
CoderKat@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’ve tried a few apps (Liftoff, Wifwif or whatever it was called, and now Sync). I’ve not stuck with any of them, despite the fact I used RiF and later Boost both for years.
They just feel too early stage. Eg, Wifwif was super sluggish and I accidentally cancelled multiple long comments I typed up by trying to scroll, which is a big oof. With Sync, I noticed the comment hierarchy was messed up and when I went to post about that, I couldn’t do it from within the app because posting isn’t supported yet (feels like a big thing to be missing).
So for now, I’m still just using the website. And not with the PWA, because support for multiple tabs is really great and avoids weirdness with scrolling when going back.
jasonwaterfalls@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve been using Liftoff but Sync feels a lot more polished except what it does with the comments sometimes - showing child comments with no parent. Liftoff would show the parent comment so I don’t know what’s up with that.
Long time RiF user but no LiF 🤷♂️
DulyNoted@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Because third party apps are literally the point that drove a lot of people to Lemmy in the first place. It’s classic selection bias.

Because proprietary software is unethical.
