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.
Sync drastically reduces the barrier to using Lemmy for sure.
I appreciate the vanilla Lemmy experience but Sync has my muscle memory / usage habits after all. And it fixes some of my UX complaints that seem mildly annoying but enough to disengage me from the browsing session.
