I do wonder why people are waiting and wanting these proprietary apps. Instead of using the open source ones more in the spirit of Lemmy and waiting for them to improve. These third party apps made sense for reddit since reddit was closed source and the official app was a pile of garbage whose only purpose was making people see as many ads as possible. But that's not true for Lemmy anymore, the official apps are already pretty nice and open source, so improvable by everyone (including Sync/Boost developers).

But I guess going from reddit to Lemmy is already a large break and people want to not have to change more than necessary. And Sync/Boost devs want to continue making money makes sense of course as well. I'm interested to see how all that goes.

Not everyone here loves or cares about open-source. Some just want a reddit-like experience without supporting Reddit or Spez.

The question is why don't you want to support reddit or spez? Because usually those reasons align pretty well with wanting to use free open source software.

I want to use a third party app and not the official app. I don't care if it's open-source, the official app just sucks.

If Spez is gonna be a cunt I'll use Lemmy.
