    I have zero problems with jerboa, but I’ll give sync a try to see what everyone is so excited about.

    Y’all sound real kool-aid, though.

    Update 1: Not digging the bevels around every post, is there an option to disable that I haven’t found?

    Update 2: I know it’s a small thing, but on a phone screen, that every-post bezel is making every post noticeably smaller. I’ma go back to jerboa and try sync again in a week or something after you crowd have hammered the dev with feedback.

    Update 3: I don’t want the top and bottom bars snapping up and down with every swipe either, that’s gotta be an option right?

    Peace out guys, and enjoy.

        So uhhh… I see your comment as an answer to:

        Sync isn’t FOSS. It’s just free.

        Are you accidentally answered to wrong comment or is it lemmy/sync shows it wrong?

        Thanks for this, your answer got buried beneath this very long political rant from another user. I got the width now. Is there a way to stop the top and bottom bars from appearing and reappearing from whenever I scroll up and down?

        I have gone through all the settings several times, but there are just so many settings, I’m clearly missing the right ones.

        As for you, what are you getting from this app specifically that you don’t get from the other apps? I’m using jerboa and haven’t had any issues since , so I’m just curious what the advantages of sync are according to its supporters.

      Sync has been around for a long time and has loads of customisations. If only you’d bothered to go through the settings before giving up, you’d have been able to make Sync your own.

        I went through the settings several times over an hour, I’ve been told the settings I’m looking for are there but cannot be directed to either one. As I’ve said, Jerboa hasn’t had any problems for me yet, so I’m not going to dedicated myself to a new app when I have one that already does everything I want. I don’t understand what is making everyone so excited about Sync, what specifically is it that has you all so devoted to it? “make Sync your own” is an example reflected in many comments here that imply a devotion to the app.

      In the side menu you can hit the 3 dots and open subscriptions in new windows. Another killer feature

        Okay cool, I was trying to find those in the settings but as you say there are so many that I just wasn’t familiar with it yet.
