I haven't tried Sync but I've tried Connect and Jerboa and I'm now on Liftoff. All have felt pretty smooth to me, Liftoff especially is about as smooth as I could imagine anything being. I've got no problem with people using Sync bit I don't get how they're having such a bad experience on other apps.
I used the first two, but just enjoy the experience of sync better. If sync didn't exist, I'd be just fine and happy still. But I currently browse Lemmy 30 minutes to an hour each day, so $20 for no ads is something I'll probably eventually pay for the hundreds of hours I'll use the app.
Yeah I certainly don't object to the cost, I'm happy to pay for good software. I guess I should try it to see what the benefit is, I can't tell from screenshots
For me it's actually a bit about brand loyalty. Been using synch for 10+ years and got so used to it. I don't have problems with other Lemmy apps at all.
