I used symc first, after web app for wefwef and browser version of old.lemmy.world. Then I switched to Jerboa.
Sync is not any more polished, only real differences is that sync supports true amoled black. From a user perspective, that's not enough to warrant being served ads, personal opinion.
Yall are just happy to support something you care about, and that's fine. But let's not pretend its honestly better in any appreciable regard other than personal reasons to you, it clearly is not from where I am sitting (the toilet).
Did you check Sync's customization settings? It has a lot more options than any other app I've used before. It has multiple views, it's own hot sorting method, you can fully configure how comments are displayed, customisable themes, link previews,... Should I continue? Sure the ads are a bit annoying but the devs really deserve it for all their hard work.
....like i said, nobody needs that. you may like it, but I have absolutely no need for any of that.
Well nobody needs lemmy in the first place. But what I'm saying is that Sync is in fact more polished and has more features than any FOSS app, and therefore it is only fair that it's not FOSS.
I used sync as well as jerboa - and I think there is a difference, mainly because sync had the benefit of having a parent app that worked for near to a decade, for reddit. Many of the backend elements for reddit is similar to lemmy I suppose, and sync has already been under development for close to a decade, so it's only expected the app experience has also been fine tuned.
But I still like jerboa simply because it's open source and funded by donations, and because there is not even the ghost of a tracker anywhere near it. I'll keep supporting it so that the Devs keep working on it, and so that it has the opportunity to grow into a fine tuned UX too.
