I was using Jerboa for the first month. It’s good, functional. However, with all due respect to the penguin people, it felt like working on Linux. Just a bit too utilitarian and function focused.
Yesterday I installed Sync and it was like switching to Windows/OSX. So much more polish, much more pleasant experience.
On Reddit I was using BaconReader - and had no idea Sync looked (and felt) this good. Great UX, though still has some ways to go. The comment font size when typing is super tiny!
As a Linux guy, i disagree. I don’t know what version of Linux (or how long ago) you tried Linux. Sync is more like Linux, so many options and features to make it exactly what you want.
Maybe it’s not just the OS vs OS but more like Gimp vs Photoshop. Both accomplish pretty much the same tasks, but one feels way more polished than the other.
Maybe this will work: Sync feels like a Product, while Jerboa feels like a Project.
There are pros and cons to both approaches. I happen to be looking for a clean, pretty app that integrates with my Android 13 theming etc.
I’ve been enjoying Jerboa so far, there have been a ton of quality updates. Reminds me a lot of RiF which was my preferred Reddit app so that may say something.

You can change the font size under settings/view type
I believe that menu is just for the text on existing posts. There is another one for default baseline text size, but modifying it changes everything.
I’m quite happy with all the sizes, except for editor.
i get the idea of your comment but i don’t like the examples
You can adjust it here
Settings shortcut: Comments > Comment body font
Settings shortcut: Comments > Comment body font
Nope. It controls the size of the font in comments that are already posted and I am reading.
I’m looking to increase the size of the font in comment editor while I’m writing one.
Absolutely fair, I don’t think that’s a feature yet. You could try requesting it, @[email protected] is super responsive!
