I was in a Dandori Battle on Pikmin 4 against my brother. I ignored all points and focused on gathering Pikmin in the first 30 seconds. I then got lucky with a mystery capsule and got lightning. I used my 45 pikmin to kill all of his before he got any points and kept us both at 0 the entire time.
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.
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. They also changed the nesting of comments when you select to view them individually from your post screen, didn’t like that.
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.
I never ended up being able to log in. Even after it said they fixed the issue it kept logging me out. And don’t get me started on the UI.
Sync ain’t perfect. I keep accidentally collapsing comments because I was used to rif which, unlike sync, doesn’t collapse comments after a long press. The fact that that is one of my biggest gripes with the app is a huge improvement over jerboa though
The customization on sync gets me so damn close to what I had with relay that I’m just happy.
I used others, but they were heavily inspired by Apollo and the customization to make them closer to my muscle memory wasn’t there. I’m happy to pay a talented developer who can give me my preferred experience.
And I really don’t get this raging choosing beggar entitlement to people labor for free
I’ve never heard anybody suggest that 50 is middle aged, usually it’s traditionally been 30, or nowadays with life expectancies being higher, 36 is spot on.
Anyway, we’re all going to work until we’re dead, to keep the rich ruling class fed. There’s no escape.
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.
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 doesn’t seem nearly as good. It just feels 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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is not about price. Nobody is saying that authors can’t charge for their software. It’s about freedom.
Your computer/smartphone is controlled by the software that runs on it. Libre Software like Jerboa gives you the source code and the right to study it, modify it and distribute it. This means that anyone can verify what the program does and change it if needed. It means that users actually control the program. If the authors added malicious functionality, it would be easy to remove it.
Proprietary software doesn’t give you those freedoms. It’s very difficult to verify what such program does or change it. You can’t really control it, but it controls your device. If it contains malicious functionality, usually you can’t do anything about it. That’s why proprietary software is unethical. It gives developers power over their users and they often abuse that power.
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
13 year RIF veteran, tried a few but stuck with Jerboa, just switched to Voyager (wefwef.app) as they just dropped their Android native app and so far I’m loving it.
I can’t tell if your joking. I also didn’t really care that much about open source software before coming here, but now I find myself searching out for open source replacements for the stuff I’m already using.
