Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

      You’re not missing anything but ads. I cannot understand the Sync hype and attribute all posts about it to promotion.

        I paid for Apollo, and I’m happy to support developers, but in app ads is a big no.

        Connect for Lemmy is basically Sync free. It’s got the same swipe gestures and everything. I’m not sure what people are so blown away by.

        Unsure what is going on but I’m using Sync, haven’t purchased anything, and haven’t seen a single ad.

        Hope it continues as I like the app.

        The native advertising has already arrived on Lemmy. Tis a day of sorrow.
