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 signed up for lemmy when Reddit started pulling it’s shit. But I didn’t really do anything here until today when sync informed me that the lemmy app was available.

    I bet I’m not the only one.

      I’m using Jerboa, as I don’t want to use a closed source app with In App purchases and Google tracking. It’s nice there are so many options!

        Jerboa am the way. I used Sync before, but Jerboa had the perfect amount of customization with ease of use. I say that, but I feel hypocritical cause I’m currently testing Sync.

          I switched from Jerboa to Sync, as I felt Jerboa was not registering my upvotes? In addition I somehow couldn’t subscribe to communities. (Maybe all user error.)

          I’ve been using Jerboa and I like it other than when typing comments or posts. If you have to backspace it just completely shits it’s pants and ends up deleting things you don’t want, removing spaces between words, refusing to append text without removing words. I just want a normal typing experience.

          The mobile browser version if lemmy is pretty good. But here I am now with Sync. I never used it for reddit (I was an Infinity fan), but it does seem pretty nice

      Yep, same here. Tried a bunch of different apps but never became comfortable with any of them, so I completely stopped using Lemmy, but Sync gave me a reason to come back here.

      This is exactly my case. Received the notification for the new Sync and I’ve been exploring for like 2 hours. Amazing

      I hadn’t created an account til today. I was going to just use sync for reddit with the revanced patch at first but I decided to just ghost reddit until this came out, and now I’m getting my sync fix again lol so far so good, besides there being a bit less content on lemmy vs reddit the experience so far it has been great. Plus, it feels like fewer bots, at least for now, so that’s also a major plus.

      Same. There were also lots of server errors in the week after sync stopped working for Reddit so I took some time off.

      The sync app is amazing though.
