It's just plain better than any other alternative. Better UI, better UX, better features, better customization, support for Monet... I could go on all day.

I was switching between Voyager, Infinity and Thunder until Sync got released. None of those even come close to the User Experience of Sync. It's not even the bugs, it's the interface and the UX.
Literally zero FOSS apps that are even half as good as Sync.
I understand that it's new, and it is definitely the best FOSS Lemmy app out of the dozens that I used. But it has a very long way to go to achieve the same level of User Experience that Sync has. It's not even close and I don't think anything bar a major UI/UX rehaul could fix that.
I was using Thunder last week until Sync's open beta got approved and the User Experience and the interface of Thunder is nowhere near Sync. It's a night and day difference, and a difference that would have made me use Lemmy less and less.
Already did. Now I only visit Reddit to check out some niche communities that are not on Lemmy yet.
Loving it. Reminds me of the olden days of Reddit where the communities were smaller but everyone was contributing more.
The bugs and the issues help sell the fact that it's a smaller community so even those don't bother me so much.
Stab them in the eye with a pin?
