It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. ๐
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.
Hallelujah!
Lemmying from Sync right now and it brings a tear to my eye. I don't think anything other than Sync would have made Lemmy feel "right" to me. And now it does.
He just added an ยฃ18.99 one off charge to remove ads as well. Instabuy for me. Just brilliant.
Same!
The second that I opened the interface it was like being greeted by an old friend.
I totally get the subscription fatigue that people get. Work gave me an iPad and I was gobsmacked that a simple SSH app using open source libraries was going to cost $6.00/mo. Hell with that.
But in this instance, I feel like the subscription is worth it. The dev has proven that he is extremely active. Weekly updates on the beta channel for the original Reddit version.
