Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

Also, liftoff kinda sucked, but I just figured out some features of Sync, and it's fucking beautiful.
Lol what? Liftoff is fantastic, and FOSS. Are we blaming liftoff for the downward trend/lack of growth? Cause the oh-so-amazing Sync does not seem to have reversed it, to spite all the claims I keep seeing.
I’m still using wefwef. What am I missing?
You're not missing anything but ads. I cannot understand the Sync hype and attribute all posts about it to promotion.
I paid for Apollo, and I’m happy to support developers, but in app ads is a big no.
Connect for Lemmy is basically Sync free. It's got the same swipe gestures and everything. I'm not sure what people are so blown away by.
The native advertising has already arrived on Lemmy. Tis a day of sorrow.
Unsure what is going on but I'm using Sync, haven't purchased anything, and haven't seen a single ad.
Hope it continues as I like the app.
