lemmy was “spammed” with comments about sync for lemmy.
Thunder works on my graphenos pixel without problems. No bugs, nothing. It works as intended. I can write and edit posts. It looks very polished. It’s beautiful, it’s material you.
I don’t get why people “freak out” about sync. I could freak about thunder! Thank you for writing the app!
I never saw what the fuss was with Sync for Reddit, but everyone is acting like fanboys about it launching for Lemmy. 😂
Fanboys? And what about Thunder fanboys? /s
For real, let’s just let people enjoy what they want.
I was constantly using Connect, Voyager, Thunder and Summit for Lemmy.
Now that Sync for Lemmy is here I am gonna be using it a lot, it is too unstable right now, but all Lemmy clients were once, and when Voyager app makes it to the PlayStore heck I’ll be rocking that one too.
We can use whatever we want, if users want to pay for Sync for Lemmy nothing is wrong about it, you are not being forced to use it too, nor pay for anything.
I don’t even remember anyone talking about sync on Reddit. Everyone always mentioned rif, Apollo, or baconreader.
I know it was one of the most popular, but it was always Relay for me.
Hence why I like Thunder so much.
I’m trying out thunder as I type this. It’s pretty slick. Not a huge fan of needing to swipe to upvotes and reply, but other than that it seems really good
All of your apps have been spammed in the month since I’ve joined, and it’s always annoying. It’s just another app’s turn.
It’s weird being a fanboy for an app, and making a post touting it’s virtues in response to another app’s release. Like you’re worried it’s going to feel jealous and left out.
I’ll be adding this community to the blocklist with every other app’s I’ve come across today that seems to be making insecure, ‘pick me’ posts.
As a current Thunder and previous Syncfor Reddit user, I can understand Sync’s charm.
It’s a lot polished, the most polished Lemmy client right now. There’s absolutely no lag with weird config (e.g. link preview for Thunder), hell lot of customisation, ability to backup and restore settings, ability to parse virtually any links within Sync and even provide download option, etc.
Sunc benefits from using same old codebase with backend tweaking to Lemmy.
Thunder will ultimately catch up to that, but saying Thunder is current state is perfect and matches up with Sync in features is big hyperbole.
matches up with Sync in features is big hyperbole
Where did OP say that? They very clearly state that their needs for a client are pretty basic.
If we’re being pedantic, then OP didn’t even mention that their needs are basic. They only mentioned they can write and post, which doesn’t say much.
But they did mention that it’s polished with no bugs, which is not true. They talked about the material You design which again is basic in Thunder and exhaustive in Sync.
And finally they mentioned Thunder being perfect which it isn’t and it’s improving by every release.
Clearly with direct comparison, it lags against Sync in every department and only that’s what I mentioned in my post.
thunder was always a problem, until I tried it again recently. wow. well done Dev/s. ur in my top 3 apps now
Yes I really like thunder
