It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. πŸ™

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!

Yes it contains ads. I'd rather have a single purchase.

But, DNS adblocking does remove the ads, just leave a grey box. It's also definitely far more polished than any of the other Lemmy apps right now.

My God, I missed Sync so much. Devs , thanks.

Now I can uninstall Liftoff . Sync's interface was Reddit for me . And now it is Lemmy for me . The custom theme base colors are great for keeping my different accounts visually separate .

ITT, bunch of people who have never used Sync for Reddit whining about Sync Ultra and the app having ads. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I know there is some controversy with the ads and that it's closed source but wow this app is really nice. I never used it for reddit I used rif so I didn't understand the hype but I get it now. I'm holding out for an app with multireddit though. That's the one feature I really want.
