Product is king.

Inertia is also in play.

Sync for Lemmy is built by the same guy that built sync for Reddit. Built using seemingly a lot of the same code.

I bounced between all the open source apps and have started using sync for Lemmy because it's familiar and it works. It also seems to be much faster than the others, maybe due to more aggressive caching/prefetching? Or that could be a placebo effect.

I was always having weird issues with jebora and the rest of them, and was not a fan of Voyager's interface.

I might try connect, jebora, etc again a bit later. Might also purchase the one time and remove for sync, might donate to Lemmy instances, etc.

For now I'm just glad to have a familiar interface.
