What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use? (strawpoll.com)

I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

As a Sync user myself, why should I switch? I've been using Sync for years on Reddit, I love the interface, and I don't mind if the dev makes a bit of money from it with the occasional and minimally intrusive ads or paid ad removal.

Sync was my choice back in the reddit days, I paid for the ad-free experience, and have even had the team personally help me out when ads reappeared after one update.

But if there's something I disagree with, I just have to deal with it from the developers. On Jerboa, I'm freely allowed to take the entire app and distribute it on my own, even charge for it, with no consequence. That freedom allows for a lot of customization with few workarounds. And I support that potential.

There's also the option to open source something and still make money through donations. If people like your work, some will pay.

I used to think that, but now I think we overestimate the generosity of people

Looks like the people who dislike my comment don't like open source.
