Lemmy feels really nice now with Sync for Lemmy. Feels like I'm just browsing Reddit.

Lemmy gives me the same feeling that Reddit did when I first discovered it in 2011. Back before they cared about being profitable and sustainable, when it was a growing community. I don't know if Lemmy is sustainable or not, but I like the way it feels to be a part of this.

Sync really makes it feel like a seamless transition though. Jerboa is good, but Sync is what I'm used to.

Ironically enough Reddit was sustainable before they did the redesign, to chase profits, and caused their costs to balloon.

Yep ... that's modern capitalistic "enshitification"

Such a perfect word. I'm glad someone invented it

Same here. Sync just feels more polished and it's pretty responsive.

It does feel really nice. Although, I'm gonna keep the app I was using, Thunder, installed. I wanna see how it evolves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For some reason I couldn’t get into using Mlem, Thunder and Memmy are my favorite so far.

It's so smooth...

Is this a question? Why am I replying to you? Why am I on Lemmy? How did star dust turn into two people typing to each other right now?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

yep 100% to answer all your questions, it's true, you are dust
