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 have a sync-ing feeling you're right.

I'm stoked

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

Relay for Reddit, my last holdout for 3rd party reddit apps, has finally fallen. Here's to hoping the Relay dev can come up with a lemmy version. Jerboa keeps breaking with spell check.

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.
