I don’t know if this is just a placebo effect, but it feels like there’s a lot more socialization and faster upvotes in the past hour Sync was released.

    I think it has a lot to do with the algorithm. I don’t know what he did but I’m not seeing duplicate posts anymore and I love it. Most things are from the past 24 hours instead of week old posts. Going from connect to sync made a massive difference for me.

      I’m also seeing this take place on the desktop site. The Sync admin can’t really do anything algorithmically as that isn’t supported by the API

      He could request top posts in X time frame, like last 4 hours or so and then do manual sorting, but it seems more likely that it’s just an influx of users as a result of the app releasing.

      new version of lemmy just rolled out across instances that fixes the algorithm too. im not sure this is a sync thing.
