A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I have mixed feelings.
On one hand, it's nice to have something familiar.
On the other hand, Sync was basically reddit for me, and I'm having something of knee-jerk reaction where I feel like I should be using something "fresh" that doesn't remind me of my time on reddit.
Like, I don't actually want Lemmy to feel like a straight up drop-in replacement for reddit. I want it to feel unique.
I like some of the other apps, but none feel "there" yet. Might just stick with the web app for now.
(Also, not open source. I trust the dev, but I just want to be able to install shit from F-Droid or Izzyondroid or whatever instead of relying on the Play Store. I understand the decision and don't hold it against him at all, but it's something I've always disagreed with.)
Even if you don't end up using it, if it enables more users to find their way to Lemmy, we all benefit.
I never really clicked with Sync for reddit, and trying it for Lemmy, all the acknowledgements and agreeing with privacy policy really rubs me the wrong way for a Fediverse client. But if it works for others I'm all for it.
