I would have to disagree about the "better than any other app" statement. I believe ads and/or subscriptions sort of follows the path reddit is currently taking. It's not a bad thing, but I got off of reddit for some of these reasons and "paying" for a lackluster app that used to be about community and it's members.
Being FREE, "Connect for Lemmy" is awesome and consistently being updated. There's lots of customization and extras being added all the time.
Added above plus edit: It should go without saying that it's personal preference, and up to you to do your own testing. Maybe I should've said nothing. lol ;)
Someone on another thread suggested doing a "hunger games" with all of the Lemmy apps and narrow them down to the one that suits you best. 👍
Maybe I didn't word that correctly as it's not objectively better, although subjectively it definitely is for me. "More polished than any other app" would've been more appropriate, Sync really feels finished (although it's also just what I've used for years and am really accustomed to)
There’s a bot I’ve seen elsewhere that provides a link to an alternative YouTube front end called piped. I can’t see the video because it seems to be unavailable in my region and sometimes piped can get around that as I’m on mobile rn.
Does anyone know where this bridge is... or should I say was?
Where do they erect such wonky bridges and people are reckless enough to drive over them?
Did I just watch someone die?
According to this the driver survived:
https://news.sky.com/story/truck-driver-takes-on-flooded-suspension-bridge-and-loses-12362557
Happened in the village of Uryum in Eastern Russia.
probable location in google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/53%C2%B010'09.1%22N+118%C2%B007'00.0%22E/@53.1675162,118.1063825,2661m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d53.1691944!4d118.1166667?entry=ttu
River is the Shilka river, a branch of the Amur river.
Yaaaaaaay!
Don't worry, surviving in Russia is only a temporary issue. May this man one day succeed in his quest to solve this vexing problem.
Probably. That did not look good
I wonder if they had time to think “I shouldn’t have tried to drive across the bridge.”
In theory, they could get out if they rolled a window down before fully submerged or kicked through the back window.
I wouldn't drive over that thing in any conditions.
Do some of the Lemmy apps have a time scroll for videos /gifs? I'm on liftoff and I hate being unable controlmthe playback
Sync has pause and replay
and change of speed
Yes, but it's sync.
It's really good, would love an open source option, but Sync is so much better right now than any other app

😬
I personally don't care about it being open source but the privacy issues. I just want that fixed before i move onto it (or any mobile app)
Same. Give us an APK without the AdMob code bundled in
Summit and voyager have most essial features.
how dare you not love sync, didn’t you hear about the feature it has!?
Dear Lemmy, shut the hell up about Sync already
I just answered his question
Connect does not
Jerboa doesn't
Memmy doesn’t, no.
Infinity does for videos, not for gifs. It's better to request the feature for an alternative to sync, as sync is spyware and adware.
Bold statement there Cotton.
Nope.
Yup.
Rickety my arse: look how the bridge put itself back together again after it dropped the van, all in time for the next van.
Bridge needs more triangles..
Dang Poly Bridge 3 is out?
Lmao
Maybe a muscle or 2 too
My man Jeremy Clarkson Speed and Powered his way right into that
I love this so much, thank you.
Reminds me of that scene from the movie Sorcerer
Excellent, excellent reference right there. That bridge scene is absolutely amazing.

Incredibly tense!
Piped bot 🤖 ?
What’s that now?
There’s a bot I’ve seen elsewhere that provides a link to an alternative YouTube front end called piped. I can’t see the video because it seems to be unavailable in my region and sometimes piped can get around that as I’m on mobile rn.
Ah got it!
says "video not available" :(
Oh dang - if you search on YouTube “Sorcerer Bridge Scene” something should come up; not sure why the link I shared isn’t working 😳
I was thinking about Clarkson tbh
https://youtu.be/XwGxrXvB_UU
yesyesyenononono.
I wouldn’t be caught driving on that bridge if it was over a bone dry riverbed.
It looks like the classic rickety rope bridge trope
So it's a nope bridge
Yep, that's a walk or maybe cycle over type of bridge in the best of conditions.
It's worked way more than it should have for Jeremy Clarkson... So I'm going to say yes.
"I'm making the first ever great change on a bridge that we built!"
Does anyone know where this bridge is... or should I say was?
Where do they erect such wonky bridges and people are reckless enough to drive over them?
Russia.
Copied from u/[email protected]
Any developing nation. Especially in more rural areas.
Is Russia a developing nation? I suppose it is.
