What?? Ads is the first thing I see.. My dude have you seen your competition? Thunder's latest update is amazing zero ads. Why would I change?

[–] GigglyBobble@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

It's full of personalized profiling too. Hard pass from me.

I installed it, used it for 5 mins and uninstalled it to go back to Thunder.

I've always loved sync, but just checked thunder. Almost immediately uninstalled as on default settings the ui is way too cramped and lacks contrast with all posts blending to each other. Very hard to read for me. I guess you could make it better by fiddling with the settings, but I just went back to go sync where it's already very good on default settings and I was able to make it perfect for me just by changing a couple of settings.

Edit: downvote as much as you want lol, it's just my opinion. Good to know that Lemmy is just like reddit with opinions ;)

Already very good on default? The text size on default is tiny so straight away I was in the settings looking to enlarge font size for posts and comments

[–] Aasikki@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You do you! To me, yes this is the perfect font size.

[–] armrods@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The competition is nowhere near as good tho

[–] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I disagree, I prefer the ux of thunder. Sync is good, I found the spacing between posts to be very awkward on the smaller list like options though.
