I have no idea how the Fediverse works. I use Sync just like I did for Reddit because it's simple. Is there anything I can do to help?

Besides donating, being active Lemmy user and creating content helps the platform thrive.

replaying to comments also helps

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 11 points 5 days ago

I'm helping!

But then how can I maintain a lurking status?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Now look at what you've done!

Lurking account on a different instance.

Shitposting makes lemmy float to the top of the toilet bowl!

Post cat pictures.

[–] anas@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

What if I don’t have a cat?

[–] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Post dog pictures

[–] anas@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You’re never gonna believe this, but I don’t have a dog either.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 days ago

All I got right now is this box of one dozen starving crazed weasels.

Generate the pictures with artificial neural nets

Time to pay the cat tax

Donate to devs. Donate to your instance. Post. Comment. Be active.

  • use smaller instances besides lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, this will increase decentralization
  • donate to your instance hosts and important devs in the field
  • be active and post high value content
[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 25 points 5 days ago

Upvote all my comments.

Tell your friends about it, especially the ones who use reddit

The lead lemmy devs are struggling with funding - https://join-lemmy.org/donate

Sync isn't well updated / supported and I'd recommend moving to another client. I was a long time sync user so I found it hard, but I personally settled on Thunder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder&hl=en_CA

[–] MelastSB@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago

I'm using Summit as a replacement for Sync

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

Jebora is pretty damn good too

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

My muscle memory is far too ingrained 😭

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thanks, I had to research to even notice anything was wrong.

[–] Outdated4134@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

Former Sync user here, Thunder is ok but Voyager has more features.
