I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It's stayed around that percent the whole time too!

EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

I installed both Jerboa and Liftoff and ended up on Sync.

I run Linux and 99% foss software on PC and same on phone.

Sync was the only android client I tried that was usable. The keyboard bug in jerboa was maddening

I was similar with Jerboa first then Sync despite being mostly a Bacon user at Reddit. I tried Sync just before the Hoopla started.

I found the sensitive swipe gestures of Jerboa difficult as there was no way to turn them off so when Sync came along it became the default for me as the swipe features don't cause as issue for me.

I'm android and went through about 1 month of switching between clients to find the one I liked the most. Connect was the winner for me. Multiple accounts, hide read, good default UI amongst a handful of other things

I may have xome later to both, I find either very usable + no ads

What keyboard bug? I haven't run into it, and I've been using it for months.

idk if the other commenter experienced the same bug as I did, but for me, deleting characters in the comment text box would also delete the last space. So, for example, if I typed "idk if the other commenzr", and I started deleting the 'r' and then 'z', the text would turn into ""idk if the othercommen". It would just keep going like that. Otherwise Jerboa is fantastic though, but it get's annoying fast.

If you type a word then backspace to correct spelling it removes the space from the word before it. Basically smooshing everything together
