Are you me? Very close to how I would have written the exact same thoughts!
I tried a slew of lemmy apps but none were are clean and smooth as what I wanted. Connect has some rough edges but visually and features wise is closest to what I want. I'm hoping boost is very similar to how it was on reddit because it struck all the right balances for me, and felt more solid than connect. Plus the icon is way better than connect's. :)
I tried sync and I don't get the hype. It's fine, I'd use it if I didn't have other options. But for me the UI is just like 15% too busy. It's just annoying enough to deter me from it.
