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.

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.

I have a sync-ing feeling you're right.

I guess anything that will make Lemmy a viable alternative to Reddit is welcome.

RIF is fun was still working for me up until now (logged out though). This stopped so...mesa back?

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

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.

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 waited for sync and was siked to join once it opened up.

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.

Just using infinity for Lemmy, idk what's all about that sync-hype. Infinity runs flawlessly.

I'm certainly using Lemmy more!

I think lemmy.world had some downtime and they came back up. lemmy.world is one of the biggest traffic drivers.

I just tried to use reddit via third party app, then got reminded that it's over. Decided to check out whatever still works and found Sync for Lemmy, wondering if it's similar. Turns out, it's even better lol
