Sync brought me here since it was my preferred way of using Reddit. Haven't really touched Reddit at all since the app shut down.

I guess anything that will make Lemmy a viable alternative to Reddit is welcome.
Got an alert on my recently installed Sync for Lemmy app that lemmy.world was down earlier, so maybe that's why.
I think lemmy.world had some downtime and they came back up. lemmy.world is one of the biggest traffic drivers.

Prolly true! I am here via Sync and wouldn't be otherwise
I didn't particularly like any of the apps for Lemmy, while they all offered some of the features I wanted, none offered all in a single package.
That, coupled with the clunkyness and bugs that come along with the territory of new developers building something for the first time (which is not a knock against them), I just didn't really enjoy trying to use Lemmy.
I'm mainly waiting for Boost, but I like to try the new Lemmy apps hoping to find a great one, and Sync is certainly the best so far, with a robust feature and settings set that does everything I need it to.
So that's why I'm spending a little more time here now, I guess! Lemmy is only as good as the app that acts as it's interface after all, and as the apps improve and become less of a chore to use, so will user retention.
