If it’s anything like Boost for Reddit was, it’s unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you’ll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can’t recall.
Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn't interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.
It was a sudden switch. My guess is he was on the fence and outpouring of support and donations from his goodbye announcement post pushed him over the fence. I’m thrilled of course, Boost was my favorite Reddit app so I look forward to trying the Lemmy version.
Great news. I'm probably more likely to use Sync, but seeing not one but two well regarded Android Reddit apps migrate to Lemmy is just bloody awesome.
Yes, it’s going to be called Sync for Lemmy and preregistration opened two days ago. It most likely will still be some weeks before it becomes available. Ljdawson stated the target is 6 weeks, so that would be somewhere in the middle of August.
One small question, "average lemmy total users per day" is a bad metric to track, ("average active users" seems much more reliable), but is it going down because bot accounts are being closed?
