This is my first time using Sync. I bounced around different reddit apps back before the shit hit the fan but never tried Sync. I have to say. Im impressed. It’s so much more stable than Jerboa.
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.
I was on the verge of abandoning reddit before when I could only use RIF to browse logged out, but now that it’s gone for good…goodbye, reddit. I wonder if it’ll affect things like reddit traffic at all. Time will tell, I suppose.
