Can someone tell me what advantages Sync has/had over Slide or Infinity? These are the two apps I've been using.
- It's entirely about your UI preferences, really. Most third party apps had feature parity, and the features they have didn't were more niche. Boost was my preference for a more graphical experience, and RIF was my default for its simplicity.
  Sync has an extremely vocal fanclub because its dev is very involved with the userbase directly, but it's really not much different from the other graphical ones save for its MaterialYou integration, if that's something you care about.
  If they had longer than 10 days to live I'd suggest trying each one to see which fits your preference....but...
- As an extensive user of Sync let me say.
  The ability to customize change layout, Twitter previews in posts, ability to open comments, subreddits in windows.
  It's ability to cache comments/threads/videos. So, if android decides to kill Sync due to limited resources I can start where I left instead of having every thing reload from scratch. And lots more. The dynamic Material you theme and the beautiful UI should not be forgotten.
  It's multi windows feature with its caching feature made it indisputable for me. I had anywhere from 3-6 windows or more active to jump back in anytime. If he brings that to lemmy it would make interacting with lemmy that much more awesome. Waiting to see what's he got in store for us.
  Here's a screenshot to show what I mean by multi windows:
