Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

I peeked around a bit with Connect (android) for a while, and the things that stood out the most to me was the small size and sluggishness of the whole thing. BUT what also stuck out far more were pins of maintenance because of growth & updates of constant hard work to increase performance, and an interface that (while slightly jank) is infinitely superior to the official reddit app. It's good to see continued growth, especially in such a welcoming community. The problems are providing to be simple growing pains and it's great to be here.

I'm using Connect app too for now. Ateast until Sync for Lemmy is ready! Connect isn't terrible by any means. Though I haven't received a reply or DM yet so I'm not sure if background updates are working.

Liftoff app has been much better than Connect for me

I've been juggling jerboa, connect, liftoff, and thunder while I decide which one I like best. For like 90% of things, it's liftoff, but some of my subscribed communities show as blank and I'm forced to use one of the others...
