  I’m not the person you were replying to, but the source linked on the wiki for that statement actually refers to them as being distinct.

  Here’s the URL in case anyone was wondering: independent.co.uk/…/utah-teacher-brianne-altice-d… (ind.pn/1RG5rzT).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I block all of Hexbear from All?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can only block individual communities right now, but apps like Sync let you filter instances from your All view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nord VPN tv commercials are incredibly misleading⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re probably referring to their DNS ad and malicious domain filter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨started collecting my seed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Risky click.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I keep seeing the initials "ig" in comments. They clearly don't mean "Instagram". What does "ig" mean then?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s in the comment chain… “I guess”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strange New Worlds continues to rank in the Nielsen US streaming top ten⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It has more of a classic feel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the policy on inactive mods?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m only speaking as a fellow moderator, but most users don’t pay attention to the moderator lists (let alone check the mod queue or posting histories) so I wouldn’t worry about discouraging users.

  Every team does things differently. I’d recommend reaching out to your fellow mods to mention the need for support and how you plan to identify and engage candidates for the team. It could also be something as simple as “I think we need some help, are folks fine with me inviting a few others?”. If you don’t hear back from anyone after a few days or a week (depending on the urgency), you can probably just go ahead with inviting folks.

  Depending on how active the community is, it’s also always a good idea to have some kind of a chatroom setup for this kind of coordination. Matrix works nicely since it’s already integrated into Lemmy as the secure messaging option - but you can also setup a team Telegram chat or Discord server (if you go for Discord, I recommend starting your own server and keeping it closed off to your team).

  Definitely. I’m just wondering because they referred to posting on Lemmy more frequently with Sync - curious if there’s another build or whether they meant commenting specifically.

  Unlike what some folks have suggested, I don’t notice any speed or loading advantages over the other native apps. Some of the other offerings may be a little better but the biggest performance gains when it comes to loading will come from moving off the largest instances to a smaller one.

  The main differentiating characteristics IMO are below.

  Pros:

  • The interface is essentially the one from the Reddit app. It’s a mature design in terms of polish and is overall more minimalistic and clean UI. I find it consistent and intuitive to navigate.
  • Decent amount of customization. While not exhaustive, the options presented are all well thought out. This includes moving things to side bar, bottom bar, and/or a floating action button.

  Caveats:

  • Ads by default, with a $20 one-time payment option to remove them. There’s also an optional subscription (or a $100 lifetime subscription) for added features, which will include push notifications. Prices may be much higher for some other countries as adjustments for purchasing power haven’t been made yet.
  • As an early build, some basic functionality hasn’t yet been implemented including submitting posts or editing post titles. If you’re a moderator, mod functionality and reports haven’t been implemented yet.
  • Like other apps that were originally for Reddit, there are still some legacy references to subreddits. Sync also seems to still use orange for upvotes and blue for downvotes, which is the opposite from Lemmy.
  • It’s closed source. Without OAuth, the Lemmy devs have discouraged logging in with closed source apps (although I personally trust ljdawson).

  Do you have access to an unreleased build? Still no post submission support on mine just yet (commenting from Sync).
