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.
You mean users who joined Lemmy for the first time with Sync?
Sync still doesn’t work for me. It crashes as soon as it opens. I’m enjoying Liftoff right now. I think I’ll stick with it even if Sync starts working.
I find myself just keeping with the website, even on mobile. I like the ability to see comments of my subscriptions
There is a “comments” feed on the website that shows only comments rather than posts. It’s useful for my alt that is only subscribed to a few niche communities, you see what’s happening at a glance rather than opening each post
Like at all? Not seeing this in the crash logs. Any chance of reinstalling?
It’s ok, except for when it’s down. I assume it’s something to do with .world
Lemmy.world suffers from DDOS attacks for the last couple of days, hence the reason for downtimes.
Good to hear! Regarding the availability, you might want to change to another instance temporarily. You can use https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim to move your subscriptions and blocked instances.
In terms of suggestions, the choice depends on where you are located (for latency issues). Most of the regional instances (lemmy.ca, feddit.de, feddit.uk, midwest.social etc.) are usually good choices.
For generalist instances, Lemm.ee, reddthat.com and sh.itjusts.works are usually solid choices
Lemmy.sdf.org is another general instance I’d recommend. It’s run by the Public Access Unix non-profit org.
Honestly pretty great, still in the process of blocking some of the instances I’m not interested in but I like it a lot for what I do (browse the main page by top/active to get a bit off everything)
I’m just waiting for post functionality, but this is the Sync that I know and love.
