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.

Since i was able to import my settings backup from sync for reddit, I'll be here more often

Damn that’s so convenient to have!

Got an alert on my recently installed Sync for Lemmy app that lemmy.world was down earlier, so maybe that's why.

I definitely waited to set up my account for sync to come out. Im just most comfortable with sync, and familiarising myself with some other UI just to switch again when sync comes out seemed silly.

I'm keen on using Lemmy now that it's clear to me that it's a solid alternative to Reddit.

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.

Sync has made my experience better and I myself have been more active. Wouldn't be surprised if having a better interface causes more interaction. I think it's great! Feels like I'm back on Reddit again!

I for sure have just created a Lemmy account now that Sync is here!

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.
