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 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.

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

[โ€“] blue9yun@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Oh heck yeah. This looks great!

[โ€“] cokane_88@lemmy.world 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.

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.

It's more active every day.

Starting using sync today, loving it so far

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.

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

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.

[โ€“] SageWaterDragon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] erasebegin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Either way I'm loooooving sync. Way slicker than the other two I tried

[โ€“] Bz2486@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've spent countless hours on reddit on the reddit sync

I used lemmy fairly little because on mobile, the experience wasn't great.

Glad it's back. I'll probably be more active because of it ngl.

[โ€“] Atticadayz@lemmy.world 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.

[โ€“] greedo@lemmy.world 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

[โ€“] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

No I'm here now so it's more active. I just came today so you guys are in for a treat

[โ€“] ComputerSagtNein@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] tpihkal@lemmy.world 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!

[โ€“] DandyTaters@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Sync brought me here as well. I guess I just needed a familiar on ramp

[โ€“] oneshibbyguy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I am really loving sync, and I just got it 2 hours ago. I'm fully ditching reddit
