    I’d given up on lemmy because every so I had tried was unfinished and unpolished. I tried sync and finally felt like the user experience wasn’t getting in the way of content.

    I’d love to support foss, if a genuinely comparable experience existed.

    I’m glad to say that sync has revived my interest in lemmy.

      It’s been one year of this conversation, but I just found it now.

      Sync has also made me use Lemmy more often, but I was still missing a good web environment until recently when I started using photon. It is the best web experience I had using Lemmy and now I’m using as a progressive web app.

      Photon repository here! Give it a star or start contributing to it.

      IMO FOSS has really great offerings when it comes to libraries or other highly technical code.

      But something about either the community or incentive structure results in sub-par UI/UX. Obviously not a rule, but definitely a trend I’ve noticed.
