It definitely has gotten way better, perhaps the addition of Sync and Boost for Lemmy helped to keep active users steady.
Most of my usage with Lemmy is thanks to Sync for Lemmy.
Props to Voyager too. It's now in Fdroid and allows me to hide the voting scores. That's all I've ever wanted from Reddit, a great client like Infinity with no visible vote scores. Lemmy will be more and more used with all these new clients for sure.
Voyager is awesome, and the latest version brought lots of nice stuff, but sadly it still doesn't feel as smooth as I wanted to, going back to my subscription list makes the app hang a lot.... I appreciate the tweaks dev did to smooth the scroll though.
Do you have a ton of subscriptions? So even pressing the back button takes a while? I can optimize this
Yes I have.
I am subscribed to 867 communities, and going back from the main page or pressing the communities button takes its time for sure.

That would be awesome! Voyager is one of the best Lemmy clients, that is for sure.
I'll also add the liberal use of the "hide read" button on sync means that I no longer see stuff I've already seen
That feature is the best if you ask me, gladly almost all the Lemmy clients have adopted it so far, but it works better in Sync thanks to a feature that it has to keep them hide indefinitely/for more time, that way, I don't need to depend on Lemmy website option, which is a downgrade in all senses.
If there's one thing I learned this year it's that we can't underestimate how many users a good app will give a website. There are plenty of people I've seen over the years who didn't even know reddit was a website.
Yup. That's because the Lemmy side of the Fediverse had a bit more time to settle down, after the huge influx of users from July.
Yeah. Although, I was more like a niche contributor in Reddit and currently Lemmy's action happens in big communities, so I became more like a commenter than a poster. All things considered, it's cool.
I was a huge comment poster on Reddit back in the day. Now I post a lot on here. Kind of a 180.
I'm new to lemmy and I'm loving it. Doing my part of course.
I suggest people add anything really great to !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world .
Oh yeah that is a pretty nice suggestion!
ur welcom
I'd say if you cannot find content that interests you, go ahead and create content what you'd like to see here!
I feel like I have created more posts here under one month than ever at Reddit. I'm still a bit sad about the fact that there's much potentiality to some communities here in Fediverse that seem dead, so I try to kick them around a little with my own posts and see, do they start running also without me a bit later.
I don't have that much to post about but I try to come up with stuff once in a while! (I still wonder, is it OK to grab material from Reddit and copy-paste it in here. I asked about it in here but I didn't get any replies.)
