Syncforlemmy has 12.8k subscribers.
Loads of them were poised ready to strike once the beta launched.
But aren't the people subbed here already on Lemmy? I was waiting for the client to come out too and switched immediately, but I was already using Lemmy with other clients before sync came out.
It's possible that people were idling their accounts while waiting for Sync to come out, and are using the platform more now that it has.
I was lurking via connect without an account till sync came out personally
Same here. Connect UI was not nearly as good. I used Sync for years and feel right at home now.
The Connect UI is alright in my opinion, but Sync is definitely more polished. That makes sense though, Sync has been around significantly longer and thus has seen a lot more improvement.
I'm a kbin user who just made a lemmy account so I can upvote on Sync.
Lemmy was pretty unusable and hard to post/comment. Default web UI is buggy as hell, you have to reload the page multiple times to post anything or even switch pages when browsing. Jerboa is even worse. For example, I can't even bloody login into LW through Jerboa!
