Evening all, This is a really tough post to write but following my post the other day I think the best course of action is to shut down Sync before the new API changes go live.

Speaking of which, are there any app recommendations for Lemmy that yall like? The web ui is fine on mobile, but it would be nice to have swipe gestures and the like.

There's only two apps right now, mlem for ios, jerboa for android. Both in early stages of development.

Jerboa is decent. That's what I use. Can't speak for the iOS app

Same, Jeroba feels sync-esque to me.

Still missing that swipe right to go back to the previous page. That feature just made browsing so seamless.

Jerboa for Android, mlem for iOS, but they're still in early stages.

I haven't actually used Lemmy on mobile yet, but if its true that it works fine on mobile - damn, that's super relevant.

90% of webpage views are through mobile or tablet devices. Laptops and desktops are the minority, and responsive @media classes are vital. Having a mobile-friendly design is critical for daily usability. Modern front-end webdevs design mobile-first.

And yet, shockingly, too many providers just don't make it a priority. If the webpage is the way they reach users, then sure (Wikipedia looks slick on mobile). But the second they have an app, god, they really don't care if their web-experience goes to shit or decays into redundancy.

I'm using Jerboa right now, and it feels comfortably similar to Sync. We'll see how things progress though!
