I already miss my muscle memory operations through sync :/

Sync shut down right before I went out for the morning. Got back this arvo, sat down, immediately opened the app and had to just stare at a blank screen for a bit to let it sink in. And now I'm here lol.

I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy app, which the Sync creator says he's working on and there is a community for https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

Same here.

Although I'm finding that Connect for Lemmy is working well in the interim. Kind of a "we have Sync at home" vibes lol

Haha. That's true!

I've been having some random issues with the apps, now it's mostly wefwef on the browser.

Can't wait to see sync for lemmy

Jerboa is borked for me right now so I'm using connect and I like it. Wefwef was pretty good (especially for a web app) but I think I like using connect more until Jerboa gets fixed or sync comes out.
