Sure, but in this case, most of the lemmy-clients (FOSS or not) are bad.
I have problems logging into my accounts (seems like some instances want my email as a username and many clients cannot handle this after I switched accounts), some clients don't feature editing or deleting your posts, some clients don't show my saved content, some clients don't allow to see what you posted
Sure, much of this is because they started from scratch and will maybe surpass sync some day; but right now I couldn't find something that isn't worth. (didn't try infinity yet, tho)
it's not necessarily "FOSS is bad"; it's just that the current lemmy-ecosystem is in it's child shoes (I have the feeling this proverb doesn't work in english?)
That said: I use Sync4Lemmy since 5 minutes and this is my first comment; so let's see if/what it will deliver
Never heard that idiom before, (is it German?) Sentiment is clear though, I would probably just say "in its infancy" or something.
Also completely agree with your points. I'm a major supporter of FOSS but at the end of the day, I'm gonna use what actually works - the same as everyone else.
