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.

Hijacking your comment to ask - what is the difference between Sync and Jerboa?
Sync has nice features that let you customize your experience pretty nicely. It feels like using Reddit which for some of us that migrated is a great experience.
On top of that, it is fully functional in a tablet mode style with larger devices and it just works really well. The layout of the app also makes it seem a little easier on the user to add instances and accounts. There is also a migrate button, scheduled theme modes, and other nifty little tucked in features. Give it a try if you like it but the Ultra subscription to help the dev. 100% worth it.
Purpose wise the same. They’re different apps like chrome vs Firefox or Outlook vs thunder bird. Lots of us are excited about sync because it’s a very polished client and the Reddit version was being developed for years with polish and functionally being added that entire time. It’s made by a dev who is very good at making apps and I assume a lot of the Reddit client code base could be reused so the polished experience could be transferred to the Lemmy client.
Your best bet is to really just give it a try. For me, it’s about the polish and UI customizations.
