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.

Glad people are loving Sync. A bit surprised that people are saying that there is finally a good mobile UX for Lemmy though.

I was an Apollo user on Reddit and have been using Voyager for Lemmy. The experience on my phone ( other than content ) has been near indistinguishable. If I had both apps, I would barely be aware of which one I was in.

Anyway, awesome that people are loving Sync.

That's been my experience. I've been using Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff, and Thunder before this, and activity has been slowly increasing over the past few weeks. Sync releases, and activity increased significantly within hours. Also, I have not touched another client since Sync dropped. I appreciate the effort of all of the other developers making Lemmy apps, but Sync is home. Nothing comes close.

I was trying to use connect but sync is just l... Better. It feels the way it should and makes interacting with Lemmy feel familiar. Long love the fediverse.

I am here because of sync, but I am also confused. I made a .ml account and not a .world account. Does it matter? Could someone tell me the difference? Thanks.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's like having a *@gmail.com vs a *@yahoo.com email address.

Any instance allows you to send/receive email (or that is, browse lemmy).

If your instance goes down for whatever reason, you'll not be able to access that account.

Aaaaaaand this is how I found out it was released. Thank you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Made an account just because Sync makes the experience so much more fluent now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm here for it even though I'm Connect for Lemmy gang.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Connect is quite good, I'm really enjoying it so far. I dont plan on switching for now.

RiF is now completely dead, could browse before without logging in, now can't even browse, could be a big factor.

I'm using it more because of Sync.

๐Ÿ™ƒ sorry! I'm out of the loop! Who's the developer behind this app? Was it someone that used to make a reddit version of this? Where is the hype coming? Other than that is wonderful to see new tools integrating with lemmy โคโคโค

Greetings! I finally decided to get an account after Voyager came in. I'm glad that there is a noticeable presence after the app went live. It seems like a nice place, so far!

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Lemmy will be like Reddit in that there's no way I would use the site without a third party app like Sync.

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I'm here just because of sync.

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Just signed up for lemmy now that sync is live!

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I just made another account because my Lemmy.world one wasn't working, so add it for the numbers (?).

Amazing what a decent UX will do.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Sync does the interface right :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Did hold out until sync was released.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I don't know what happened but I also see less politics and more interesting topics, which is making me want to vote more let alone to comment more.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's exactly the reason why no reddit alternative will ever have any success without having a great mobile app.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

It's a lot easier to browse posts and comment. On other apps I would just crash...

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I don't know, but it's certainly a lot more enjoyable and smoother experience.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

This is my first comment after leaving Reddit. Liking the way things look so far!

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (11 children)

I've been trying to follow, but clearly I missed it - anyone know if there's an iOS client in the works, or will this be Android only?

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Don't count on an iOS Sync client.

Personally, RIF was still kind of working for me until today. I opened up lemmy and the first post I saw was the release of the Sync app lol
