I joined Lemmy during the big migration, but none of the apps I tried felt quite right. And even though I never used Sync for Reddit (I was a relay user), Sync for Lemmy instantly felt polished.
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.
Aaaaaaand this is how I found out it was released. Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
๐ 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 โคโคโค
I'm using it more because of Sync.
RiF is now completely dead, could browse before without logging in, now can't even browse, could be a big factor.
I'm here for it even though I'm Connect for Lemmy gang.
Connect is quite good, I'm really enjoying it so far. I dont plan on switching for now.
Made an account just because Sync makes the experience so much more fluent now.
I'm here just because of sync.
They finally killed all the third party apps today too. Got to score a cool new username at Lemmy. Bye reddit
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!
Lemmy will be like Reddit in that there's no way I would use the site without a third party app like Sync.
Amazing what a decent UX will do.
Just signed up for lemmy now that sync is live!
I just made another account because my Lemmy.world one wasn't working, so add it for the numbers (?).
Sync does the interface right :)
Did hold out until sync was released.
That's exactly the reason why no reddit alternative will ever have any success without having a great mobile app.
This is my first comment after leaving Reddit. Liking the way things look so far!
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.
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?
Don't count on an iOS Sync client.
It's a lot easier to browse posts and comment. On other apps I would just crash...
I don't know, but it's certainly a lot more enjoyable and smoother experience.
I've definitely used Lemmy more than previously today.
