RiF is now completely dead, could browse before without logging in, now can't even browse, could be a big factor.

This morning when I got the notification it was downloading, lemmy.world was straight up down. Whether it's true or not, I'm saying it was Sync's release and the flood of new users.

I was trying to use connect but sync is just l... Better. It feels the way it should and makes interacting with Lemmy feel familiar. Long love the fediverse.

Must be coincidental. Sync can't create posts yet however a lot of popular reddit client ports have been released since.
Additionally a lot of subreddits claimed official instances / communities. Glad to see things looking more lively though, I've been getting so frustrated with the official reddit app.
I mean...I just created an account today because of this release haha
Welcome to the jungle!

I am here because of sync, but I am also confused. I made a .ml account and not a .world account. Does it matter? Could someone tell me the difference? Thanks.

Amazing what a decent UX will do.
Made an account just because Sync makes the experience so much more fluent now.
I'm using it more because of Sync.
That's been my experience. I've been using Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff, and Thunder before this, and activity has been slowly increasing over the past few weeks. Sync releases, and activity increased significantly within hours. Also, I have not touched another client since Sync dropped. I appreciate the effort of all of the other developers making Lemmy apps, but Sync is home. Nothing comes close.

Lemmy will be like Reddit in that there's no way I would use the site without a third party app like Sync.
Starting using sync today, loving it so far
Yep, I'm here because of Sync. I made an account beforehand, but now I'm actually using Lemmy.
Yeah but it's mostly people talking about Sync...
Me a 13 year redditor and just browse with a regular web browser like an old man. You can keep the apps.
Personally, RIF was still kind of working for me until today. I opened up lemmy and the first post I saw was the release of the Sync app lol

Sync does the interface right :)
It's like I've gone from using a promising alpha for a Reddit replacement to a near-finished product. I love it.
I am really loving sync, and I just got it 2 hours ago. I'm fully ditching reddit
Just signed up for lemmy now that sync is live!
