For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I’ve missed it a lot.
Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.
I know it’s early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that’s needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.
Definitely agree. This has pretty much completely restored the reddit experience for me after I chose to delete my reddit account in the wake of reddit’s third-party app debacle. The Sync developer deserves major props. This app will surely make lemmy so much more attractive and accessible to a host of new users in the coming weeks and months.
It’s the same experience for me, but I still do a lot of Google searches based on Reddit content since there is a lot of information posted there over the years.
It’s like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏

Yup. The third party devs ought to bring in the charm, and the people along with it as well… Fingers crossed.
Hoping that guys like the dev of joey app too shows up 🤞🏻

Well said. I paid for the ad free version right away. Years of sync use gives me full confidence it’s worth it.
Me too, instabuy. No question.
Let’s hope that all the subs gonna start appearing in as well… Complete with the footfalls + content Ofc. 👍🏼
Be the change you want to see! If the sub doesn’t exist yet, make it yourself, and people like you will come to fill it. Welcome home!
Got plans to. Never want to see a repeat of the stunt that ahole of reddit pulled on so many people.
There’s also old.lemmy.world in case you’re more comfortable with that. Loving all the choices available so far!
