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.
Nope. I’ve messed around with other apps but nothing comes close to Sync.
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.
People really seem to be sleeping on Thunder. For me it’s by far the slickest of all the Lemmy apps I’ve tried.
Summit is pretty cool.
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
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.
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’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.
Hey it’s me
Goku!
Same here. Lemmy websites are not that good. Sync app is great
Nope, that’s why I’m here!
There are dozens of us. Dozens, I say! DOZENS!
Maybe even more!
I’m using sync until infinity beta goes public, at least.
This is exactly my case. Received the notification for the new Sync and I’ve been exploring for like 2 hours. Amazing
Me too, I started my download almost immediately after being notified.
I hadn’t created an account til today. I was going to just use sync for reddit with the revanced patch at first but I decided to just ghost reddit until this came out, and now I’m getting my sync fix again lol so far so good, besides there being a bit less content on lemmy vs reddit the experience so far it has been great. Plus, it feels like fewer bots, at least for now, so that’s also a major plus.
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.
