It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry. (lemmy.ml)

RiF was all I ever used. Never even heard of Sync until I migrated to Lemmy at the end of June. Fwiw, I found Connect rather quickly, and it feels almost exactly like RiF. Enough that it scratches the itch. I tried Sync for about an hour today... It's fine enough... But I can't figure out what it has that Connect doesn't. Maybe it's just that everyone who used Sync was just comfortable and didn't want to change. I'm fine with it being a paid app, or subscription, or whatever dude decides to do to help support himself, too...I just don't get the hubbub when there's a perfectly excellent free alternative in Connect.

Yeah, Sync was fine, just nothing special for me. I'm pretty sure it's mostly just people who want the same experience they had on Reddit.

I adapted to Voyager pretty quickly, and the only real issue I've had with it was that it didn't handle it well when .world went down, but that's improved enough now. I'm not the biggest fan of the swipe gestures, as they've made me accidentally vote on a lot of things without noticing, but it's nothing I can't get used to.

I don't need it to be exactly like it was before. I'm satisfied with something simple that does the job.
