I use a few social media platforms at the same time. I’m used to seeing the same things on each platform. That’s how the internet has been for years - you read the same things on the same five sites.
To be fully transparent, Lemmy isn’t at the top. I don’t post much and I lurk. Sometimes I post a comment here and there.
But this past week, I’m seeing more and more interesting content in the “Everything” section of Lemmy that I didn’t see in my other social media feeds. New communities and more interesting convos.
Uncertain if the fediverse has gotten a wave of new posters, some algorithm has changed, or every other social media company is sucking more and more thanks to America Team Police…
Just wanted to share my extremely limited anecdotal non-fact checked viewpoint.
Sync was a fantastic Reddit client (I started using it back in 2016), then during the API debacle the dev turned it into a Lemmy app and frankly it was the best on the market by a wide margin. But then he just vanished, and various things have gradually stopped working as it’s not keeping up with the latest Lemmy updates. When upvotes stopped working a few months ago, I bit the bullet and have now moved to Summit, which has the closest user experience to Sync of all the Lemmy apps I’ve found (although it doesn’t have anywhere close to the same level of polish as Sync did).
