Sync users who joined Lemmy on the app launch day, how has your first week been so far? - eviltoast

I’m asking new joiners because I know it can be confusing at first to see issues with content discoverability, instances unavailability, people migrating accounts, etc.

    I used sync before I ever had a Reddit account, I was a digg person and after the mass migration I just kind of ‘meh’ and didn’t have a doom scroller

    But then, magic, more and more friends discussed Reddit (never giving away their usernames of course) and I asked and someone just said “oh don’t bother with the web, just download sync” and I fell in love, the UI just… It is the definition of a good UI, I just “knew” how to use it

    Then when I found out if I made a Reddit account I could sub and find more content I liked, was the first time I ever loaded the Reddit page, only yo make an account and then login to sync.

    When the most recent bad Reddit occurred and our dear dev was pondering moving I just waited and now, I have a lemmy account

    Might not be for everyone, but it’s the only app for Reddit (I did actually try others during a brief time when I didn’t have the ability to filter videos out) but nothing ever clicked

    Side notes, I am more of a lurker which may or may not be relevant
