It definitely has gotten way better, perhaps the addition of Sync and Boost for Lemmy helped to keep active users steady.
Most of my usage with Lemmy is thanks to Sync for Lemmy.
Props to Voyager too. It's now in Fdroid and allows me to hide the voting scores. That's all I've ever wanted from Reddit, a great client like Infinity with no visible vote scores. Lemmy will be more and more used with all these new clients for sure.
Voyager is awesome, and the latest version brought lots of nice stuff, but sadly it still doesn't feel as smooth as I wanted to, going back to my subscription list makes the app hang a lot.... I appreciate the tweaks dev did to smooth the scroll though.
Do you have a ton of subscriptions? So even pressing the back button takes a while? I can optimize this
Yes I have.
I am subscribed to 867 communities, and going back from the main page or pressing the communities button takes its time for sure.
That would be awesome! Voyager is one of the best Lemmy clients, that is for sure.
I'll also add the liberal use of the "hide read" button on sync means that I no longer see stuff I've already seen
That feature is the best if you ask me, gladly almost all the Lemmy clients have adopted it so far, but it works better in Sync thanks to a feature that it has to keep them hide indefinitely/for more time, that way, I don't need to depend on Lemmy website option, which is a downgrade in all senses.
If there's one thing I learned this year it's that we can't underestimate how many users a good app will give a website. There are plenty of people I've seen over the years who didn't even know reddit was a website.
