I hate Material U design. It is really like the Superflat design for 2020s with rounded corners and it looks really tedious.

Connect for Lemmy is a good Sync clone until the official Sync app releases
There's the webapp wefwef.app that seem very popular. I'm currently using Connect for Lemmy and it seems to work pretty well. I found a list of clients somewhere that I was planning to go through but that browser tab seems to have been eaten by the Wumpus (not the discord one).
