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.

I use liftoff now. Is sync an improvement? I find switching between instances to be a bit clunky and having accounts with different instances leads to lots of repeating posts.

Anecdotally, it became much more active when Reddit switched the API a month ago. The existence of https://old.lemmy.world/ later also helped probably.

I definitely used Lemmy a lot more today than I normally do. Sync for Lemmy is just so much more polished than everything else I have tried using to access Lemmy previously.

I was waiting for it lol

I mean, having a good client for an app is the first step to get users lol

I haven't been home browsing on my phone since it's been released. I'll hopefully be more active moving forward

Just wait and watch reddit... Now that 3rd party devs are unleashing stuff... This should take off. Hopefully joey app's lemmy rendition shows up as well! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

I was on Lemmy 2 months ago and haven't been back since. Using Firefox on my phone was just too slow for someone who was spoiled by Baconreader on Reddit.

With Sync, I think I'll come around more often.

I don't know if Lemmy is more active now, but I do see some new accounts so there's that.

Got an alert on my recently installed Sync for Lemmy app that lemmy.world was down earlier, so maybe that's why.

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

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

[โ€“] catbox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Same. RIP RIF (for real this time), guess I'm replacing it with Sync!

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.
