But have you tried Jerboa?

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.

What gives DENTISTS feelings of power? Shaming non FLOSS users.

Reminds me of the persecution complex people have about vegans. Like, they're actually right and you kind of have your head up your ass.

Jerboa was really not good

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 never thought I'd be in an environment where FOSS user is the majority demographic.

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.

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.

But have you tried Jerboa...

on weed?

Oh no more ways to enjoy the fediverse. Oh no the thousands of users of sync for reddit might come here now oh no this is a disaster!

I like Free Open Socialist Software

I've been a Lemmy about 2 weeks and I'm practically radicalized for FOSS. I'm about to custom install Arch Linux and burn a Sync user at the stake.

Jerboa users would find this very funny, if they could see it.

Can we talk about something else

Listen I love the Foss apps, but sync is so fucking good. I use multiple apps for different reasons, I did the same with reddit. I just really missed sync.

As long as FOSS and paid versions of something can exist at the same time and the paid thing is actively trying to push out the FOSS stuff, I have no issue with a paid option.

I had been using Liftoff and am now trying out Voyager and Sync.

So far Sync is winning me over.

This is all sounding a bit insular. I'm happy with the tech stuff but let's not turn the entire site into a discussion about a specific app or two.

I'm using Sync for lemmy

edit: I tried it these days and I don't like it, I'm switching back to the webapp

No problem with proprietary alternatives at all, it just feels contradictory to use such thing in a FOSS environment

Tried Jerboa... wasn't a huge fan, now I'm using Connect

Voyager for me (previous name was wefwef). Works like a charm.

As long as we can all agree that the people using the web UI are fools and/or masochists

True tho

Can I ask, what the heck is FOSS?

I'm switching between Connect, Infinity and will try Sync. I'm waiting for Boost, and hoping that developer/s of Joey will make client for Lemmy

The number of bad takes in this thread has convinced me that Lemmy may really succeed

Jerboa is buggy I'm using Thunder

Boy do I have to bad news for OP about how advertising & marketing works in the for profit world.

I'm a Synckie but If I'm not a Synckie then I'm gonna be a WefWefian all the way.

Edit: my comment was to design to induce a bit of vomit so if you did, 100% normal.

I've been chilling with Liftoff. Until Infinity for Lemmy gets to a more usable state, that is.

I tried jerboa, I didn't like it. Seems to basic and didn't really function for me(was likely due to actual server issues rather than app issues though). I'm now on connect and pretty content though.

But have you tried Infinity?

Jeroboa is the first one I saw. So that's one I got. It does everything I want a lemmy app to do so havnt really bothered with any others.

At the end of the day I think peoples' systems should be made with open-source components, like firmware and OS, and then they can choose whether to put closed-source apps on it or not.

That being said, I personally moved away from proprietary social media (except youtube) mostly because they're proprietary, plus ad tracking, so I don't like the idea of throwing it all away just to put another closed-source app on my phone. But that's just me

i started with jerboa then landed on voyager and i've been happy with it since

quite literally only gotten better with every update

tried jerboa and thunder (and wefwef/voyager or w/e) now I'm using sync

If I have a choice, I prefer to not use software created by fucking tankies, thank you very much

Jerboa user here,

Stop infecting other communities with this trash argument. Sync dev can do what he wants, sync dev should donate some money to Lemmy dev. If you don't think he should then you shouldn't donate to sync dev.

Thanks!

Just tried it, gonna stick with it ty

I agree.

Using Jerboa as my daily Lemmy driver with Sync as a backup.

I like Jeroba, but the scrolling is still a mess. So, I'm using Liftoff for the time being and peeking in on others as they come up. Jeroba is still installed though, so if that scrolling gets fixed I'll probably move to that.
