It kinda bothers me to have an iOS UI on my Android phone lol.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's an android Mode. But it isn't really material ui either. It threw me off at first, but having the same EXACT experience on my Desktop, iOS, and Android is πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯.

I don't have iOS devices, but I already installed Sync on my desktop (W11 Android subsystem) and laptop. So I'm getting the same experience everywhere, with the added benefits of tablet mode on desktop.

So many good apps coming out. Have you tried infinity for Lemmy yet? And that Android subsystem on Windows 11 is GOLD. I use my iptv app and some other Android apps on it.

Using IfL rn. Feels just as right as og Infinity (which I solely used during my time on Reddit), no unpolished experience as of UI, but I'm expecting to see some bugs and inconviences as usual (as of writing I'm using v0.0.8) but let's be real guys, Rome wasn't build in a day.

Feels absolutely on par with Liftoff (v0.10.10), and Jerboa (v0.0.42), which pretty much sets my happily permanently staying on Lemmy.

Yeah, Infinity feels less polished, but expected considering how much older Sync is. The Android subsystem has worked well, I used the script that adds Google Play services so my purchases are synced between phone and desktop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Infinity feels polished to me because it's exactly the same as the reddit app is. I actually was using it today thinking I was on the Reddit one. Wild lol. Only thing is inbox doesn't work so I'm back on Voyager for now. I need to try Sync tho.I always heard good things about it on Reddit, but I went from Boost to infinity (because it's FOSS) and never had the need to try anything else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Inbox works. Are you perhaps still on 0.0.6?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, working for me now but still barely functional. For example, I seen your reply but I can't see my comment that you replied to. So I'm working off of memory of what I said. Lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

infinity on WSA is great because of the 3 columns option on tablet mode, but it doesn't have tabbed browsing like sync

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Good to know. Infinity inbox still needs to sort some bugs out before I switch from Voyager lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So that's an ad.

The UI feels kinda like.. a toy? Don't like it. The app runs well tho!
