I used Sync. Sync went to Lemmy. I moved to Lemmy.
There are dozens of us!
Upvoting from my sync app.
Up vote this if you also did! ☝️

Why would people do this? Seems kind of mean. I thought we were having fun together…
Because you’re just fishing for upvotes
What? I’m telling everyone to up vote the other dude ffs.
Sadly people are just stupid and cynical, but I see it dude 😎
Same, Sync was Reddit to me.
Absolutely. Every other interface was trash.
And the official app and web interface were a port-a-potty upturned into a flaming dumpster.

Could you believe that there are some poor souls that just went straight to Reddit using that garbage app and didn’t even make the effort to patch Sync?
Apollo… I miss Apollo. Voyager is nice but I still miss Apollo.
It’s at least possible to sideload Apollo and use your own API key for it.
Wait… what?
EXPLAINNNNN!!
https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo
You’ll have to install AltStore (or Sideloady) on your computer + phone to resign the app each week (this can happen automatically if they’re on the same wifi network). You can make your own personal API key at https://old.reddit.com/prefs/apps/ (It’s limited to 100 requests per 10 mins, which you wont run into browsing by yourself). Also as long as you moderate a subreddit (I think even if it’s just an empty one you make), NSFW content wont be blocked on the API.
Also while you’re sideloading, I’d highly recommend uYouPlus for a better youtube app
Thanks I’ll dig into this. I already have uYouPlus and Ignited (Delta emulated but better). But I may try to get Apollo instead of YouTube which I barely use.
Isn’t it better to simply move to Lemmy?
It’s not perfect but seriously: fuck reddit
I haven’t been on Reddit since the api lockout. But there are some communities that have not moved over and I want access to them. I realized that the private api would still generate traffic for them but if through Apollo they won’t get my ads revenue at least. But yeah fuck Reddit.
Surprised to see no mention of RedReader?
This is the app that I used before I left Reddit and I heard they got exempt from the API charges. Is that still the case? Still seems to be on F-Droid.
Like wtf is this. How is Reddit adding an API cost an exercise for you to triple it?
Interestingly, Narwhal remained open ahead of Narwhal 2’s release without users having to pay anything. I asked Harrison in June how that was possible, but he said he couldn’t explain due to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Reddit. I asked again for this story, and Harrison said he couldn’t provide full details but noted, “Reddit was willing to work with me so that I could transition the app to subscriptions in a reasonable timeframe, especially considering it’s not my full-time job.”
That is interesting given all the shit Spez gave Christian about just this issue with respect to Apollo.
Same with RIF and hell half the other apps. Dude straight up didn’t want to work with anyone.
What a waste of article by ASStechnica. Not a single mention of Apollo, you know the most popular Reddit client by far.
Wha? They talked to Apollo’s dev at the end?
Or do you mean a breakdown of the numbers and such?
FYI for those confused by parent comment or the comment I’m replying to: if you use the reader mode of the in- app browser, the article is cut off quite early and there’s no indication that there’s more to be read if you read it directly.
I use Lemmy now because of Sync but I really hate the normal web UI. It’s awful. I wish they would update it to make it more pleasing to the eye. I simply avoid Lemmy when on my PC.
On Lemmy.world you can use old.lemmy.world for a theme similar to old.reddit.com.
Which is also outdated and has been outdated, which is why they redesigned it. An actual, modern UI would do wonders for the platform.
