I don't know if this is just a placebo effect, but it feels like there's a lot more socialization and faster upvotes in the past hour Sync was released.

I've definitely used Lemmy more than previously today.

Personally, RIF was still kind of working for me until today. I opened up lemmy and the first post I saw was the release of the Sync app lol

The app is great, just like it was on Reddit. But I signed up yesterday for Lemmy and let's just say it's going to be a while before I can ditch Reddit. There's hardly anything on Lemmy in the way of my interests, and the communities seem confusing and fragmented. I'll check in every few months, but as long as Sync still works for Reddit I won't be moving over any time soon.

Why not help build it though? It’s all community driven and unlike Reddit, Lemmy is much better at surfacing small communities and new posts. You’d be surprised how quickly you can get replies/comments.

I know I'll be using Lemmy more now. The mobile web interface wasn't terrible and was leagues better than reddits. But the app brings a much better UX I feel.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

It's like I've gone from using a promising alpha for a Reddit replacement to a near-finished product. I love it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah but it's mostly people talking about Sync...

Me a 13 year redditor and just browse with a regular web browser like an old man. You can keep the apps.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Oh heck yeah. This looks great!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Starting using sync today, loving it so far

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Must be coincidental. Sync can't create posts yet however a lot of popular reddit client ports have been released since.

Additionally a lot of subreddits claimed official instances / communities. Glad to see things looking more lively though, I've been getting so frustrated with the official reddit app.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm be honest though, most of the chatter I've seen has been people dunking on sync because of it's subscription model and very high lifetime price

I just created my account on Lemmy now Sync is here (yay, notifications).

Also! The sign up page was rather slow, so I suppose many people are signing up right now.

Also!! Reddit was/is having service outages again.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I couldn't stand the mobile web UI, but now it just feels like a younger, newer version of Reddit

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm definitely going to be using it more often. The official Reddit app is so bad that Sync being for something else is enough to make me move.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I couldn't even figure out how to use lemmy in a browser

Well I'm here, I couldn't even log in using the other apps. Lemmy is confusing for me at the moment. Sync however made it able for me to log in, view topics that interest me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Sync is honestly the only thing that made me aware of Lemmy. I signed up a few days ago, and heard about it weeks ago, but today I can start using it more actively.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I love Lemmys existence, I am devoted to Sync. The release guarantees I will be active daily moving forward.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was using Joey for Reddit and started browsing Lemmi since all of this Reddit API debacle began. Started with Jerboa but things were wonky and I never bothered to sign in. I think I'm going to enjoy Sync...so, hello world!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

It's not necessarily more active but its more convenient to browse now.
