I haven't tried sync yet, how does new account creation work through their app?

This comment states that they default to lemmy.world. I don't think it should be handled that way.

Which is terrible, it centralizes Lemmy in lemmy.world, they're already facing performance issues because of this.

So this is an ad. An ad for a platform with ads.

@HR_Pufnstuf @OtakuAltair can you give some more context?

Sync is a client app designed to make money either buy being purchased (cool) or by monetizing Lemmy’s content with their own ads. This person is promoting it, hence it is an ad.
