      OP’s site explains some differences. Mostly device based. I personally use Sync and it’s just like Reddit! So, the interface curve was almost zero.

        Because the creator simply converted his app “Sync for Reddit” to a Lemmy app when Reddit fucked over all third party apps at the first big exodus

          Warning, Sync seems abandoned and some features are broken, e.g read posts don’t stay hidden. I’d recommend Boost, Summit, Jerboa, or Thunder

          I use voyager, too. I like it better than sync for being open source and more frequently updated

      Hopefully someone else chimes in but I know that there’s one app that allows you to export your Reddit communities here. [Finds Lemmy communities of the same name as the Reddit ones.]

      That’s nice, right?

        Voyager has this option, but I did not use it, so I don’t know how well it does.

        I search for a community and add the one with the most users or most recent posts. If it isn’t active, I find a less broad topic that would encompass that community.

        I also spend most of my time on “all” and find active communities that way

        unfortunately, I got banned, nuked my account, and deleted it all before I came over here. so I’m rebuilding from scratch, but so far so good.
