I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync.

Lemmy Finally feels usable! Thank you LJDawson
You're viewing a single thread.
And 50% of the posts on lemmy in the last 12 hours are about Sync.
Hope we get some more diverse content soon lol
The hilarious thing is you can't post from Sync yet, only comment, so for every post about Sync someone had to use their browser or another app to post it.
As soon as sync lets me post I'll be posting things but until then imma just comment empty promises
🤣😂
I have so many questions...
Yeah im honestly starting to question if its all organic, as its trivially easy to artificially inflate posts, and we even had a post the other week warning exactly of app developers could manipulate votes to get more people to use their platform and make purchases.
I would say its mostly organic since a good amount of discussion is negative feedback about ads and the paid tiers.
I'd believe it's organic tbh, I was waiting for Sync or Boost to drop before I fully took the plunge. There are probably many others like me for whom those apps and others defined the Reddit mobile experience and the other apps for Lemmy (or the ones I used at least) weren't as feature rich so it's an easy choice to make.
There are clearly a lot of bots posting links but that's not that different from reddit either. The real friends were the comments anyway.
I've been using sync for reddit for years, and I used Vanced to keep sync for reddit working even today. I was interested in trying lemmy ever since it was announced that the popular third party apps were going away on Reddit. I might have started using Lemmy earlier if it wasn't for being able to still use Sync for Reddit and knowing that Sync for Lemmy was coming out very soon. Now that sync for Lemmy is here, so am I.
We will. Lemmy seems to easily get flooded with singular stories. Eg whenever Elon comes up with yet another dumbass decision.
There's a golden ratio somewhere, it feels like Reddit has become overflown with posts and empty discussions, even on relatively niche subs. I could get behind a more sane approach to my web browsing habits but of course it will take some time.
Or screenshots from Twitter/Reddit
Reddit is 50% screenshots of other social media too, so I don't think that's necessarily a Lemmy problem
