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.

RIF is fun was still working for me up until now (logged out though). This stopped so...mesa back?

Same. RIP RIF (for real this time), guess I'm replacing it with Sync!

Since i was able to import my settings backup from sync for reddit, I'll be here more often

Relay for Reddit, my last holdout for 3rd party reddit apps, has finally fallen. Here's to hoping the Relay dev can come up with a lemmy version. Jerboa keeps breaking with spell check.

I guess anything that will make Lemmy a viable alternative to Reddit is welcome.

Got an alert on my recently installed Sync for Lemmy app that lemmy.world was down earlier, so maybe that's why.

Prolly true! I am here via Sync and wouldn't be otherwise

I didn't particularly like any of the apps for Lemmy, while they all offered some of the features I wanted, none offered all in a single package.

That, coupled with the clunkyness and bugs that come along with the territory of new developers building something for the first time (which is not a knock against them), I just didn't really enjoy trying to use Lemmy.

I'm mainly waiting for Boost, but I like to try the new Lemmy apps hoping to find a great one, and Sync is certainly the best so far, with a robust feature and settings set that does everything I need it to.

So that's why I'm spending a little more time here now, I guess! Lemmy is only as good as the app that acts as it's interface after all, and as the apps improve and become less of a chore to use, so will user retention.

I think lemmy.world had some downtime and they came back up. lemmy.world is one of the biggest traffic drivers.
