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 signed up for lemmy when Reddit started pulling it's shit. But I didn't really do anything here until today when sync informed me that the lemmy app was available.

I bet I'm not the only one.

I'm using Jerboa, as I don't want to use a closed source app with In App purchases and Google tracking. It's nice there are so many options!

Jerboa am the way. I used Sync before, but Jerboa had the perfect amount of customization with ease of use. I say that, but I feel hypocritical cause I'm currently testing Sync.

I switched from Jerboa to Sync, as I felt Jerboa was not registering my upvotes? In addition I somehow couldn't subscribe to communities. (Maybe all user error.)

I've been using Jerboa and I like it other than when typing comments or posts. If you have to backspace it just completely shits it's pants and ends up deleting things you don't want, removing spaces between words, refusing to append text without removing words. I just want a normal typing experience.

The mobile browser version if lemmy is pretty good. But here I am now with Sync. I never used it for reddit (I was an Infinity fan), but it does seem pretty nice

My issue with Jerboa has been that it doesn't register when I have copied things so it's difficult to paste links/articles/quotes.

I might try out Sync so that I can contribute more informative responses, but I like the idea of Jerboa being open source as that's what drew me to the app.

Jerboa has some good ideas and features, but it has sadly been consistently the most buggy out of all the clients I've tried, across updates.

I was using Connect until yesterday, which I found to be the best option thus far, but I don't think it's open source. Liftoff is also good though, but in terms of looks something is off with it for me. Maybe it's a little to cluttered.

Sync is fantastic in terms of features, look and feel and customization. It's definitely the best app I've used so far. The issues of free-with-ads and the steep pricing for ad removal/Ultra are definitely there, but I can't deny that it's the best feeling app for Lemmy right now.

Really? What kind of OS are you using? I haven't had that issue on android.

[-] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Android. And I haven't had issues like that with typing in anything ever. I'll be backspacing a couple of chars and all of a sudden the words have been concatenated and trying to get a space back was so hard. I really can't explain how bad it was, but it was definitely just Jerboa and not my keyboard or phone as its perfect for everything else.
