    now you’re like my mom asking me why i need a bmw when the old skoda drives just fine :).

    yes, it may be insignificant details in the eyes of one and annoying deficiencies for the other.

    in the official reddit app, transitions between detail and list are janky, collapsing comments is slow (there’s a lag), the post list jitters randomly during scroll, to go to my fave subs i have to open an annoyingly remote hamburger menu, I can’t set swipe gesture to exit a post detail. etc. etc.

      Well yeah, that because its Reddit app, but who uses that? Shame what they did to Alien Blue, that was fantastic for the time.

      I guess you are saying those things could be annoying, but the only feature I saw that Sync had over say Jerboa was peeking. I am thinking it is just familiarity for a lot of people.

        everyone now, unfortunately.

        yes, it’s definitely that too. but i think in the context of “the official reddit app sucks” it’s also an obvious quality issue. which, in case of sync, was helped by a timely and well executed user migration to lemmy.
