Over a quarter of Lemmy users use Sync (based on a poll)
(loot.buckodr.ink)
I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It's stayed around that percent the whole time too!
EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA
A lot of people are mad about sync, because of dumb reasons. but man I just wouldn't use lemmy without it. I'd rather just not.
Even if I'm not using Sync, I am happy that Lemmy has a great app that draws Reddit users, and a smorgasbord of apps to choose from.
That's probably why people are mad. I've seen lots of comments to the effect of they don't want Redditors here because they'll "ruin" Lemmy.
Sync makes it harder for them to gatekeep.
As a former Redditor myself, I'm not going to be able to answer that question. I do agree, though: users don't magically come out of nowhere.
I wish i could lot in on sync...
Eventually kbin support will be added
Heck, lemmy is barely supported. The dev just bootstrapped the lemmy API into the reddit app and published it as a beta. We were all happy for that, but it will be a while before it's a polished lemmy app.
I'm not mad, I just prefer open source software that doesn't collect my data. What are your favorite things about sync that I can't get with Jereboa?
