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’m here for it even though I’m Connect for Lemmy gang.
Bless the Connect devs, they gave a good go at it but Sync is just too good. I applaud them though, their app held me over until now.
And they have full time job and they release 2 update a day what a guy. I will stick to connect maybe buy him coffee to give him energy to release new update.
Definitely! I just want people to stop raging out at the idea of showing some love to the individuals that are making this Fediverse thing happen… There’s a difference in not wanting to be ripped off/taken advantage of by rich corporations and just being plain cheap. Lol
Connect is quite good, I’m really enjoying it so far. I dont plan on switching for now.
For whatever is worth, this is my first post ever on the fediverse…
I joined Lemmy during the big migration, but none of the apps I tried felt quite right. And even though I never used Sync for Reddit (I was a relay user), Sync for Lemmy instantly felt polished.
It has something like a decade of development work behind it, so it better.
Same. I’m still more excited for Boost but Sync actually makes Lemmy useable for me. None of the other apps were good enough to drag me away from Boost for reddit.
I’m here just because of sync.
It’s a lot easier to browse posts and comment. On other apps I would just crash…
Just using infinity for Lemmy, idk what’s all about that sync-hype. Infinity runs flawlessly.
The hype is because Sync was a long standing and well respected client for reddit, that is now available for Lemmy.
For many users this means they can finally try Lemmy through an interface they know from a dev they trust.
I don’t use Sync, or Infinity, but the more the merrier!
People are happy because they can use an app again that they have used for up to 10 years.
I just made another account because my Lemmy.world one wasn’t working, so add it for the numbers (?).
Whachu mean fmhy is back?
Different domain, check my username ;)
Arigato. Made one (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Starting using sync today, loving it so far
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.
This is exactly my case. Received the notification for the new Sync and I’ve been exploring for like 2 hours. Amazing
Yep, me too. First posting here 😊
Me too, I started my download almost immediately after being notified.
Same here. Lemmy websites are not that good. Sync app is great
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.
Nope, that’s why I’m here!
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.
Nope. I’ve messed around with other apps but nothing comes close to Sync.
I really like liftoff
Connect for Lemmy has been really good so far, too.
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.
There are dozens of us. Dozens, I say! DOZENS!
Maybe even more!
Hey it’s me
Goku!
I’m using sync until infinity beta goes public, at least.
edit: and I’m not longer using Sync! 😊
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!
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.
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 used Jerboa as my stop gap until Sync came out.
It’s fine, but I have at least 8-9 years of muscle memory and use with Sync. Jerboa was never going to compete with that.
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’ve been using Jerboa and I like it other than when typing comments or posts. If you have to backspace it just completely shits it’s pants and ends up deleting things you don’t want, removing spaces between words, refusing to append text without removing words. I just want a normal typing experience.
The mobile browser version if lemmy is pretty good. But here I am now with Sync. I never used it for reddit (I was an Infinity fan), but it does seem pretty nice
My issue with Jerboa has been that it doesn’t register when I have copied things so it’s difficult to paste links/articles/quotes.
I might try out Sync so that I can contribute more informative responses, but I like the idea of Jerboa being open source as that’s what drew me to the app.
Jerboa has some good ideas and features, but it has sadly been consistently the most buggy out of all the clients I’ve tried, across updates.
I was using Connect until yesterday, which I found to be the best option thus far, but I don’t think it’s open source. Liftoff is also good though, but in terms of looks something is off with it for me. Maybe it’s a little to cluttered.
Sync is fantastic in terms of features, look and feel and customization. It’s definitely the best app I’ve used so far. The issues of free-with-ads and the steep pricing for ad removal/Ultra are definitely there, but I can’t deny that it’s the best feeling app for Lemmy right now.
Really? What kind of OS are you using? I haven’t had that issue on android.
Android. And I haven’t had issues like that with typing in anything ever. I’ll be backspacing a couple of chars and all of a sudden the words have been concatenated and trying to get a space back was so hard. I really can’t explain how bad it was, but it was definitely just Jerboa and not my keyboard or phone as its perfect for everything else.
It’s like I’ve gone from using a promising alpha for a Reddit replacement to a near-finished product. I love it.
This is my first comment after leaving Reddit. Liking the way things look so far!
At least the experience scrolling through lemmy now is 100x better.
It’s night and day, Jerboa felt like an app from 2010
This. They were missing some key ease of access features like hide read posts
Sooooooo thankful that sync is up and running
Using web, going back always put the feed active, despite me changing the sort. So yeah, having the app back is good. And I got all my use patterns back!
I was missing Hide read sooo fucking much!
Does Sync have automatically hide read posts? I couldn’t find it in the settings, could you point me to it?
I don’t know about automatically but I have it on my actions. The three little dots in the top right you can bring up the menu and if hide read isn’t there you can hit the three dots again on that menu - action visibility, to add it. Can hold and drag the order of the actions too.
Yeah, unfortunately that’s not permanent. If I refresh or come back later, the seen posts are back again. I don’t know if it’s a bug or an intended feature :/
It does, at least auto-hide after seeing post media. Saw that in the settings. Very good offering overall.
Do you remember where? I can see mark seen, but not a hide seen or anything like that
Ah forget it, my bad. I must have been confusing apps, I was comparing a bunch earlier today. Sorry about that.
It’s nice to have an app that runs smoothly and doesn’t stutter or jitter while scrolling and navigating through lemmy.
I for sure have just created a Lemmy account now that Sync is here!
I joined but this hexbear lemmy.world defederation stinks of censorship so I’ll be moving to another instance.
Sync has made my experience better and I myself have been more active. Wouldn’t be surprised if having a better interface causes more interaction. I think it’s great! Feels like I’m back on Reddit again!
