Evening all, This is a really tough post to write but following my post the other day I think the best course of action is to shut down Sync before the new API changes go live.
Coming over to Lemmy feels right, but this shit is so jank to use and I wish it was less incoherent and easier to make an account in order to comment.
Probably too much w33d, amiright?
I’m trying jerboa for Lemmy. Right now. It’s old-fashioned but potentials there.
I’m on jeroba too- i’m sticking with it, lemmy is 100% worth supporting and what is happening with reddit is just ridiculous, I won’t be giving them or their sponsors any more of my clicks.
If sync become a lemmy client I would be so happy.
Sync is the only mobile app I’ve ever paid for, and it was worth every cent. This was the best app for me by a mile.
If it were to pivot to Lemmy I’d be ecstatic
Same. I’ve really loved using sync over the last several years. I deleted my reddit account and uninstalled sync today. I’d be thrilled if sync worked with Lemmy.
Sync for lemmy
Sync user since probably 2015. Good riddance and something about sliding doors! 👽🚪
This was the only ever reddit app I used and it was perfect in every way. What a shame.

I followed a very similar path and am also sad to see it go.
I would rotate between Sync and Boost when I had Android. I think both are great and are the best reddit apps I used on Android. This makes me sad for current Android users. I was happy to pay for both when I was on there. And did so.
Time to move forward. Find a new home. I don’t know if I’ll never go on Reddit again. But I’m done with that place mentally and won’t pursue anything on there ever again.
I’ve used sync for close to a decade, it is reddit on mobile for me, and now it will disappear, most likely I just won’t log into reddit off my pc anymore.
Totally valid, I am concerned that they will try and kill old reddit and RES. RES devs sounded unsure if they will be affected by the API changes. If a Reddit result comes up on a Google search I’m not going to not click on it just because it is a Reddit URL. But they definitely won’t get a cent from me.
Boo. Sync was the app I used.
This announcement was the last nail in the coffin for reddit for me…
…and maybe a bit the NFSW content uncertainty. ;)
As a long time Sync user, this really hurts. To me, and a lot of others, Sync was Reddit. It was the only way I really consumed content, apart from the occasional Google search filtered for Reddit results. It was absolutely the only way I participated.
Wishing the best for the dev, and I’m hoping they eventually make another great app for Lemmy.
Sadly, Sync was my reddit app as well. As soon as the app is dead, I will be deleting my account and sticking with Lemmy. Such a shame, man.
Yeah, I went ahead and deleted my account and uninstalled the app to just rip off the band-aid.
Definitely tough, but I’m hopeful for Lemmy.
