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.

Oh heck yeah. This looks great!
Starting using sync today, loving it so far
It's like I've gone from using a promising alpha for a Reddit replacement to a near-finished product. I love it.
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.
I know I'll be using Lemmy more now. The mobile web interface wasn't terrible and was leagues better than reddits. But the app brings a much better UX I feel.
The app is great, just like it was on Reddit. But I signed up yesterday for Lemmy and let's just say it's going to be a while before I can ditch Reddit. There's hardly anything on Lemmy in the way of my interests, and the communities seem confusing and fragmented. I'll check in every few months, but as long as Sync still works for Reddit I won't be moving over any time soon.
Why not help build it though? Itβs all community driven and unlike Reddit, Lemmy is much better at surfacing small communities and new posts. Youβd be surprised how quickly you can get replies/comments.

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'm be honest though, most of the chatter I've seen has been people dunking on sync because of it's subscription model and very high lifetime price

I just created my account on Lemmy now Sync is here (yay, notifications).
Also! The sign up page was rather slow, so I suppose many people are signing up right now.
Also!! Reddit was/is having service outages again.
I couldn't stand the mobile web UI, but now it just feels like a younger, newer version of Reddit
Ive been here since July 1st.....Seeing 250 comments on a post and almost 1300 up whatever theyre called lol, this shits finally taking off...LETS GOOO..I loved liftoff but im sorry to say sync is just, well amazing and seamless.

Well I'm here, I couldn't even log in using the other apps. Lemmy is confusing for me at the moment. Sync however made it able for me to log in, view topics that interest me.
I've had Lemmy for months now but never felt like actually posting much because the clients were just not very good. I'll be posting more now that I have Sync, although the prices for premium versions are frankly obscene.
Sync is honestly the only thing that made me aware of Lemmy. I signed up a few days ago, and heard about it weeks ago, but today I can start using it more actively.
I signed up for Lemmy but I didn't really enjoy a lot of the apps out. Now that Sync is here I am 100% here now.
Sync brought me here as well. I guess I just needed a familiar on ramp
Pretty sure this will bring a ton on new activity. I, for one, feel right at home now.
