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 signed up for lemmy when Reddit started pulling it’s shit. But I didn’t really do anything here until today when sync informed me that the lemmy app was available.

    I bet I’m not the only one.

          I did try Connect for a bit, but it just wasn’t Sync. That’s not a diss on Connect because it is a good app. I’m honestly just happy people have 3rd party options to find the one that works for them.

          I tried sync today but so far I prefer connect. May try it again later.

          It took me a while to stumble across Summit. I’m really enjoying it! I’ve tried everything so far and, while each has something going for it, Summit has the most of what I think I want so far. Tbh it just reminds me of Boost, which I’m really looking forward to. But yeah, Summit is my current favorite.

          I never once tried Sync before but now that it’s here I’ll give it a go

        People really seem to be sleeping on Thunder. For me it’s by far the slickest of all the Lemmy apps I’ve tried.

      I’m using Jerboa, as I don’t want to use a closed source app with In App purchases and Google tracking. It’s nice there are so many options!

        Jerboa am the way. I used Sync before, but Jerboa had the perfect amount of customization with ease of use. I say that, but I feel hypocritical cause I’m currently testing Sync.

          I switched from Jerboa to Sync, as I felt Jerboa was not registering my upvotes? In addition I somehow couldn’t subscribe to communities. (Maybe all user error.)

        I’m using the open-source Infinity for Lemmy app. I used to use Infinity for Reddit, so I find IfL amazing to use.

        Man I really wanted to like Jerboa but it just has such terrible UX. I ended up signing up for Kbin.social as I thought it had the best UI and now I’m back to Lemmy through Sync.

      Yep, same here. Tried a bunch of different apps but never became comfortable with any of them, so I completely stopped using Lemmy, but Sync gave me a reason to come back here.

      I’m using sync until infinity beta goes public, at least.

      edit: and I’m not longer using Sync! 😊

      This is exactly my case. Received the notification for the new Sync and I’ve been exploring for like 2 hours. Amazing

      Same. There were also lots of server errors in the week after sync stopped working for Reddit so I took some time off.

      The sync app is amazing though.
