Lemmy Finally feels usable! Thank you LJDawson
Same, it’s now understandable and makes sense to my pea brain
This is my first post too! :)
Now you are counted as an active user on Lemmy. :)
Personally I was a Boost fan and I’m excited for its release for lemmy. But I’m using sync in the meantime and absolutely loving it. There’s a smoothness to this app, a refinement if you will that I couldn’t find on any of the other apps. The level of customization to make my feed my own.
I’ve been jumping between Jerboa, liftoff and now sync. Sync just has a smoothness that the other two apps don’t have, at least in my experience on my pixel 6 pro, scrolling and everything is butter smooth on sync, the others have some odd stutters sometimes
Baconreader user here to represent!
Totally on point… Like you, I am a boost user, but the experience here in sync so far is the best regarding all other apps… Either way, before this, I was using thunder nightly and so far so good… Now, I’m waiting for boost to decide for which one I’m gonna go as premium user…
same. but my ass is on infinity. can’t believe the day has finally come
I’m wondering if it’s just the rounded image corners
Nope. Im using cards view, edge to edge without rounded corners. Also I hate rounded corners. So can’t be the reason.
The app is just so smooth. Responsive. Fast. I don’t know what hes doing to get it that smooth, the app must preload and cache a lot maybe?
how did you forward a link to a setting? what magic is this?
In settings, long press what you want to share till it stays link copied and just paste it in your comment box.
That. Is so fucking hot. 😱🥹🤌🏼
today was the first time I forgot if I was browsing reddit or lemmy. its so good to be back on sync
It feels good to be back to normal. Balance is restored.
I’ve still got revanced sync installed and I’m forgetting which one I have open occasionally, lmao
Same here. Loving that the new icon is black and the old one is white. Makes it easier to see I went to the “dark side” 😂
Sync is great. Lemmy is still lacking content. Shows I watch, bands, etc… those communities have no activity (if they even exist).
Same as Reddit in the beginning, Digg was so strong back in the day.
It will take years before you see more niche communities like that.
Be the change you want to see.
I gave up on making community content once I lost all my data when Vlemmy died. I know I’m a part of the problem, but it burned me out
There needs to be 100 times the people for any change to manifest. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to convince tens of thousands of people to switch.
Yes you will. It will just happen gradually over a couple years. No one is expecting this to happen overnight.
I am. LET’S GO! 🤣
We’re all here already, right?
I actually followed a guy on reddit who shared his phone number with me. I just searched for him on Lemmy and he’s not here. texted him to get over here! lol
I’m working on it!
Not at all! Just like with price, the difference between zero and one is hugely more consequential than any extra dollar added. Think of it: if you see a community with no posts in the last hour, or day, it does feel a bit deserted. Or a post without comments. By adding a post, or the first comment, you can be the difference for the next guy’s impression, and encourage them to do the same, and then the ball gets rolling, and that’s how you get momentum.
IDK if we are that far off. Reddit was a lot of fun way before reaching it’s peak user base.
Additionally, the highest Lemmy days are seeing something like 25%-50% as many posts as Reddit does on average.
Altho true someone has to be the first of those 100 people. Slowly but surely people will come
But those people have already made the choice and it isn’t Lemmy.
And that’s fine, if they don’t come they don’t come. I like Lemmy so imma stay
If they don’t come then they will be making communities elsewhere. Which means less relevance for Lemmy.
Niche communities start when the user ase grows quite a lot. Give it time.
My ass is pretty fat already. It doesn’t need any more growing.
Same
Let’s keep it alive fam!
Can you recommend communities? A bunch exist but so many have little to no activity.
Alright I keep hearing about this one time payment to remove ads for 20$. Anyone know where I can find it?
I might end up getting a sync ultra subscription but for now I just want to remove ads.
Also… I feel like I’m a crazy person but I’m not seeing many or any ads in the first place. or maybe I’m just not noticing them as I scroll.
Thanks in advance for anyone letting me know.
update to latest version.
He’s working on a onetime purchase to remove ads as stickied in the release thread. No idea where you got the $20 from. (Update: it’s in the beta lol)
I’m actually already getting no ads by blocking with adguard’s dns already. Just a thing to set in your phone’s settings.
If you’re already not seeing that many annoying ads in the first place, maybe just hold out on purchasing anything then lol.
It’s a little bit I want to remove ads, it’s much more I want to support the dev
It’s in the left menu just under Get Sync Ultra
Honestly sync has the little things I was hoping for.
I kept trying other apps for lemmy but none of them really felt right. I’ve been on lemmy way more lately with Sync…
