I'm fully aligned here. I'm at the point where I lurk every day, but I remain wishing the niche communities were around. Obviously, I should be contributing myself, but…

Haha, I’m right there with you. I’m off Twitter & Reddit, I had no alternatives until Sync came back…

Exactly. The other end of it is that a lot of the app-specific advanced functionality made the transition for Day 1 - unless Infinity/else has some tricks i’m unaware of, its currently the most customizable/feature complete app - actual tablet modes, foldable support, biometrics for subaccounts, user painting/tagging for sub accounts, profile backups so you can carry customizations to other android devices - etc.

Its all auxiliary & definitely not required, but losing these features made Lemmy a no-go on mobile for me. It’s also missing some real basic stuff like mod tools & the ability to make posts at all, but i’ve used the app for a decade & the dev is quickly pushing fixes/new features out the door.

Hell yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.
