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.

Not by a long shot. Connect is good, don't get me wrong, but Sync has some major points that others usually just completely gloss over or ignore entirely--including Connect.

Like tablet-friendly UI.

And no, Infinity, "tablet-friendly" does not mean like 5 columns of independently scrolling content which take you to one big comment section which is a mobile UI stretched to screen size.

Tablet UI--let alone good, productive tablet UI like Sync has with pagination and all--is always overlooked.

Not sure what you mean, this is what sync looks like for me on a big screen. Hardly tablet friendly.

Connect looks much better for me

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.
