New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

How’s Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I’ve never used the former

Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization

Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the ‘card’ approach. Although I’m not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design ‘flaws’ every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.

Would love a RIF-like app.

Sync was very big on customizability, so it did have the options to make your view incredibly compact as well. By default, it was always set to follow very closely with Google’s design language, but you could get something very similar to the density of RIF as well.

Did it have the option to swipe between posts instead of needing to click on each one? It was a basic feature of the official reddit app that I’m surprised more 3rd party apps didn’t emulate. Joey was the only android app that I found that had it

That is pretty good to be fair, I’d settle for that, but RIF’s compact is still superior for me.

Pro comment here, I always liked the compact content view and was wondering how to change it. This should hold me over until sync is out !

So much so that I assumed it was the inspiration.
