Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released? (lemm.ee)

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 was subbed, and used it by browser a bit.

But Sync feels like home. And once more I'm enthused about using a platform.

Threads never stood a chance with me. I closed down and deleted my Facebook/insta accounts ages ago. All they have is my ghost profile. Reddit app and site are ass on mobile, which is the main device profile I use for social media.

I'm not the biggest fan of the usability of the default lemmy clients either, but there are tons of other clients too. Sync is the best on mobile right now, but connect was really good before too, not as polished or stable, but still very good and much better than jerboa. Also, lots of web instances support old. subdomains that host an old.reddit style ui if that's what you preferred in desktop. Just add old. as a subdomain for the instance to see if they have it hosted.

All together the amount of choice we now have on Lemmy (and soon to be even more with big new clients coming out) has gotten really really good! Even better is there's not corporate platform monopoly that could ever take that away. I'm much more excited about the platform too.
