What made you join Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It's just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there's no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don't even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there's a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I'll find them here or more people will join and it'll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?

I wanted to keep using Sync for Reddit and or Boost for Reddit, both clients were built for Lemmy now (as of this message Sync is quite broken though).

Even when I can keep using Sync for Reddit patched with Revanced I truly enjoy using clients such as Voyager (I missed Apollo a lot when I went from iOS to Android) and Summit, Eternity is a good alternative too.

IMHO Summit stands the best because it is the smoothest and behaves almost as good as Sync for Reddit did in its prime.

What's broken about Sync? I use it all the time with no issues.

Well, since lemmy.ml is the most updated Lemmy instance (it should be shouldn't it?) I assume you should be facing the same issues as most of us.

For me I stopped using it since it stopped marking as read while scrolling the posts, also it kinda broke upvotes and downvotes but I think I got that fixed modifying some toggle in the Lemmy website...

I can't remember many other instance issues for Sync as of now as I pretty much leave after the 1st one I mentioned.
