The app is great, just like it was on Reddit. But I signed up yesterday for Lemmy and let's just say it's going to be a while before I can ditch Reddit. There's hardly anything on Lemmy in the way of my interests, and the communities seem confusing and fragmented. I'll check in every few months, but as long as Sync still works for Reddit I won't be moving over any time soon.
This morning when I got the notification it was downloading, lemmy.world was straight up down. Whether it's true or not, I'm saying it was Sync's release and the flood of new users.
It's more active every day.
Starting using sync today, loving it so far
Must be coincidental. Sync can't create posts yet however a lot of popular reddit client ports have been released since.
Additionally a lot of subreddits claimed official instances / communities. Glad to see things looking more lively though, I've been getting so frustrated with the official reddit app.
I'm be honest though, most of the chatter I've seen has been people dunking on sync because of it's subscription model and very high lifetime price
Oh heck yeah. This looks great!
I just created my account on Lemmy now Sync is here (yay, notifications).
Also! The sign up page was rather slow, so I suppose many people are signing up right now.
Also!! Reddit was/is having service outages again.
I'm definitely going to be using it more often. The official Reddit app is so bad that Sync being for something else is enough to make me move.
That's been my experience. I've been using Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff, and Thunder before this, and activity has been slowly increasing over the past few weeks. Sync releases, and activity increased significantly within hours. Also, I have not touched another client since Sync dropped. I appreciate the effort of all of the other developers making Lemmy apps, but Sync is home. Nothing comes close.
Personally, RIF was still kind of working for me until today. I opened up lemmy and the first post I saw was the release of the Sync app lol
I am really loving sync, and I just got it 2 hours ago. I'm fully ditching reddit
Ive been here since July 1st.....Seeing 250 comments on a post and almost 1300 up whatever theyre called lol, this shits finally taking off...LETS GOOO..I loved liftoff but im sorry to say sync is just, well amazing and seamless.
I couldn't stand the mobile web UI, but now it just feels like a younger, newer version of Reddit
I thought posting from it wasn't working yet, so I can't see that it would be increasing activity.
No I'm here now so it's more active. I just came today so you guys are in for a treat
I was using Joey for Reddit and started browsing Lemmi since all of this Reddit API debacle began. Started with Jerboa but things were wonky and I never bothered to sign in. I think I'm going to enjoy Sync...so, hello world!
I've had Lemmy for months now but never felt like actually posting much because the clients were just not very good. I'll be posting more now that I have Sync, although the prices for premium versions are frankly obscene.
Did hold out until sync was released.
I signed up for Lemmy but I didn't really enjoy a lot of the apps out. Now that Sync is here I am 100% here now.
Sync brought me here as well. I guess I just needed a familiar on ramp
Either way I'm loooooving sync. Way slicker than the other two I tried
Sync is honestly the only thing that made me aware of Lemmy. I signed up a few days ago, and heard about it weeks ago, but today I can start using it more actively.
