  • I finally made a full switch from Sync to Thunder, because even though I know that Sync dev does take huge breaks and he comes back and fixes everything and makes the app even better, I still wanted to make sure I find a good alternative and get familiar with it just in case.

    Thunder is a really good app, especially considering its age. It also has the most features and the nicest UI (IMO) among the Lemmy apps. And it being open source is a huge plus too.

    Sync is still my favorite, it just feels really nice to use, but I’ll stay on Thunder for now.

    Voyager is also a really nice app that feels polished and works smoothly, but it’s lacking certain features that I like. So I keep it installed as a backup but I don’t use it often.


















  • They allegedly remove posts/comments about lemmy? And even if they don’t, I feel like it could have the opposite effect. People would see those posts just like ads/promotion/spam. Which would give lemmy a bad rep. Unless something big happens, like some big community switching to lemmy, or someone with a big following promotes lemmy, it will hardly see a big spike in user count.

    The only way is to passively “advertise” it. Maybe add the link to your lemmy account in your reddits about you section, if you are making OC add your lemmy handle there as well…

    And the last way, which is most likely the best way to do it, is to post good content on lemmy, keep communities alive. And people will eventually join.
