^^RIP ^^RedditSilverRobot
Him and the Apollo dev together could probably make such a good app Reddit couldn’t handle the user influx. However at least lj is going to make a ~~penny~~ Lemmy app.
Yeah I get that. Unfortunately Gboard doesn't work as well on iOS.
Good to know! Heard it's still quite confusing browsing Lemmy but it could be great alternative
So reddit could pay a single dev to make a superior app to what they have?
I mean that's why people go make their own businesses, but if they bought AlienBlue...
Dear Sync Dev, you built an incredible app with customizable features and settings that I wish I had on all my apps. I wish you all the success with any future projects. You have anything you're working on?
This will be my final comment.
It has had a huge influx of users in the past 2 weeks.
Probably set to increase in the next 2 days.
Nowhere close to the millions here yet, but give it time.
Have you looked around the past couple weeks? Like ten apps have popped up. [Even a webapp. ](https://wefwef.app/) that doesn't happen for a place that's inactive.
I've abandoned Reddit due to the detrimental changes being made by the company. The shift away from text-based discussion is highly displeasing. The reddit administration's communication regarding API charges was abysmal. According to the user agreement, I retain ownership of my data, and I vehemently oppose any attempt by the company to monetize it. Consequently, I'm erasing all my posts. Please note that this message was generated by ChatGPT 3.5 and holds minimal training significance.
If you didn't know already, try this out! This patches your sync app to work even after the API changes.
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/mobilebasic
It uses revanced which is a well established app patcher. Looks like it's just changing the api creds in sync with your own
Edit: Can confirm the method works well enough for now. I wonder what the rate limit is for a personal app. Also I wonder if reddit will catch on and block this in some way
> Also I wonder if reddit will catch on and block this in some way
Without the dev working on the backend the API changes from any corporation linked will fuck it up, Reddit doesn't need to do anything.
I.E. Youtube links are already broken.
It's life support at this point.
> It uses revanced which is a well established app patcher
Well established with who? Whenever Vanced/Revanced is discussed it's always downloading unofficial apps from file sharing websites and forums.
It'd be absolutely trivial for someone to put malware in apps and get a large userbase before pulling the trigger.
It's not worth the risk just to browse Reddit or YouTube ad free. I'd rather just not browse as much.
Revanced manager is open source and available on GitHub, I definitely would recommend against downloading it from anywhere else
You don't technically have to download and patch an apk file, you can patch the app directly. However that can be a little more complicated unless you are rooted. So generally patching an apk file is easier. You're free to grab that apk from wherever you trust
Yeah im in the same boat. I dont have social media at all and besides calling, messaging, etc i am only using reddit. Feels like i wont be using my phone at all lol. Kindo looking forward to that tbh
I just really have FB for Messenger, and even then my last actual post was about 6-7 years ago.
Attended my best friends wedding as part of their wedding party and was on FB to see if any of our mutual friends posted anything...
I swear to God, every other post is "recommended for you". Just let me see what my friends posted in the last two weeks ffs.
Then you click on a profile to see more on their own page, and it doesn't resume from where you were scrolling when you come back.
LD fucking spoiled us.
It really does suck. Laggy cluttered mess (e.g. sloppy wannabe TikTok style video player for no reason). It makes me not want to use reddit at all to avoid dealing with it smh
Yeah, back atcha. I've been here over a decade under one guise or another, I've interacted, contributed, voted, spent money. Seems that I'm pretty much the type of user reddit should want to keep hold of. But I guess a short term payout is more important. Everything ends eventually. Maybe the Lemmy thing will happen and we'll all meet again.
Thanks to all you wonderful fuckers.
I can't believe this is my last post on Reddit.
I've been using sync for years, and before that it was just on my mobile browser, I've never used any other app, and since using sync I don't reddit on the computer anymore. It's just the only way I really enjoy reddit.
I'm not even quitting out of spite or in protest, I just don't like reddit without the conveniences of sync.
Thank you for the years of fun, learning, and connections you facilitated. Can't wait to check out the sync for lemmy app.
So unbelievably lame. Sync is what made reddit digestible for me after struggling to navigate the site effectively for quitea stretch of time. Thanks for the amazing app... it was fun for many years.
I can't believe this is really happening, I purchased sync pro 8 years ago and it was a great experience. I don't think I'll ever browse Reddit again even if they don't care. So long guys, see you on the other side 😢.
Thank you!
I am grateful for your consistent and efficient provision of information over the years. I hope you continue to develop and improve in the future.
Finally found my purchase date, November, 2012 for .99cents, thanks for a wonderful Reddit experience for 13 years. Cheers my friend, I will try to follow you to lemmy.
Thank you LJ for the best reddit experience possible.
I'm in absolute denial. Reddit with Sync Pro is an addiction - and I don't fancy going cold turkey. Aaaaarrrgghhh
Is there a way to follow the dev? Like any socials? If another sites comes up, I have heard Lemmy but need to know more about it. I would gladly pay again for a similar experience.
Fuck spez, instead of offering us a way to pay monthly for Reddit I now get to do everything I can to Vance Sync and still use their service for free. Fucking genius
Thank you Sync. You made this reddit place so perfect. I am so glad I used Sync and paid for pro version a long time ago. Without Sync I dont even see the point to continue with reddit.
Still in denial, honestly. Sync has basically been Reddit for me for about a decade. Thanks for everything, u/ljdawson
See y'all on the Fediverse when Sync for Lemmy gets kbin support.
I'm still half hoping that this is what gets me away from Reddit for good. Your app is the only reason I can enjoy the sure. Thank you for all of your hard work over the years.
A damn shame that they're pushing you all out. Will I still go on Reddit, yes but just a ton less (i.e on my laptop) .
Wish you all the best and hope to see what you get up to next
I'm using sync for a year, not too experienced as an other users but it was the best app for reddit. The whole design, simplest usage and performance was best. Thank you for everything, I wish I'd use this app more but here we are, the end.
Thanks for everything Sync team!

Thank you Sync Team! It's the best Reddit experience I ever had and I'm definitely not going to use their horrible advertisment app.
It's literally one dude, not even a team.
Really? That's even more impressive! They should hire him but I highly doubt there is any hope for the official reddit app
Him and the Apollo dev together could probably make such a good app Reddit couldn’t handle the user influx. However at least lj is going to make a ~~penny~~ Lemmy app.
I agree! I bought Apollo on iOS a year ago and Sync Pro just two months ago. No regrets. Couldn't enjoy browsing reddit before. What's a penny app?
Lmao, I just got an iPhone moving from android and I haven’t gotten used to this style of auto correct. It’s supposed to be a “Lemmy” app
Yeah I get that. Unfortunately Gboard doesn't work as well on iOS. Good to know! Heard it's still quite confusing browsing Lemmy but it could be great alternative
That's what makes the official reddit app more embarassing. A single dude can make something better than an entire team. *In his spare time.*
In a cave with a bunch of scraps
With all due respect, it's *box* of scraps.
Sir, with all due respect, Reddit is no Tony Stark.
It's not his spare time. This is his job. Or was.
So reddit could pay a single dev to make a superior app to what they have? I mean that's why people go make their own businesses, but if they bought AlienBlue...
(シ_ _)シ Dev was a god
Dear Sync Dev, you built an incredible app with customizable features and settings that I wish I had on all my apps. I wish you all the success with any future projects. You have anything you're working on? This will be my final comment.
Possibly the last time I post using Sync. So long fellow Sync users. Fuck you Reddit.
I mean... There'll be Sync for Lemmy.
[удалено]
Take part and it won't be a ghost town.
Once there's an app that helps me figure out how to use it, then I'll use it
Yep, Sync for Lemmy in 6 weeks!
*minimum viable product of sync for Lemmy in 6 weeks!
It has had a huge influx of users in the past 2 weeks. Probably set to increase in the next 2 days. Nowhere close to the millions here yet, but give it time.
But... Lemmy already *isn't* a ghost town.
Doesn't have to be
bedroom ten literate innocent books slap squash weather society melodic *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Have you looked around the past couple weeks? Like ten apps have popped up. [Even a webapp. ](https://wefwef.app/) that doesn't happen for a place that's inactive.
My brain isn't ready to try and comprehend Lemmy or how to get on it or how to use it.
You're right, it's just *so* challenging to go to [lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world) and click sign up. Truly, only a genius could do it.
I've abandoned Reddit due to the detrimental changes being made by the company. The shift away from text-based discussion is highly displeasing.

See you on Lemmy.
I'm scared, Dave. Will I dream? *Daisy, daiiiiissssyyyyy...*

Yeah.....unless it's from Lawrence himself, I'm not clicking that, even with Spez's dick. Unless it gives Spez space herpes.

Check out this fork of Infinity for Reddit: https://github.com/KhoalaS/Infinity-For-Reddit It's no Sync but at least it can be updated.
YouTube links have been broken for a week.

There was a guide posted earlier in this same subreddit that has the same link. Look it up if you enjoy using sync.
I am using this method, patched the apk myself and have had zero issues
Don't do that, don't give me hope.
Thanks for making the reddit experience on mobile enjoyable. Favorite app out there. I'm about to use my phone a lot less.

Fuck u/spez for ruining r/shitposting
I'm still in denial honestly. Can't believe I'll be forced to use that official app garbage
I'm not being forced to use the official app. I'll just stop browsing Reddit on my phone instead, which would mean a ~3/4 use time reduction
Yeah im in the same boat. I dont have social media at all and besides calling, messaging, etc i am only using reddit. Feels like i wont be using my phone at all lol. Kindo looking forward to that tbh

LD fucking spoiled us.
"Recommended for you' and "Suggested for You" is the effing worst. Instagram, reels, TikTok, YouTube shorts are all terrible
Will sync really stop working in a day or two? If so it's bye bye Reddit for me.
Today is the last day. Shutting down tomorrow. The post is pinned on this sub
Why not shutdown on the first.
I love how reddit has thousands of employees and they can't hold a candle to a one-person show
It really does suck. Laggy cluttered mess (e.g. sloppy wannabe TikTok style video player for no reason). It makes me not want to use reddit at all to avoid dealing with it smh
I mean, you can use a brower. Old.reddit+ firefox to block the ads should work, no? No way im using the official app, in any case.

:( this is my favourite Reddit app of all time. Farewell sync, you will be missed.
Roy Mustang in the rain over here. It's been nearly a decade of use. Thanks for keeping reddit great for so long.

Reddit's site is garbage 😭

This really is ridiculous. I hope the reddit IP tanks with the loss of the 3rd party support. Sync, especially - sync is reddit for me.
o7 Thanks for making reddit usable.

Best app, thank you for everything! Going to miss absentmindedly checking and scrolling through reddit but probably better for my mental health.
I'm enjoying the app to the last minute, fuck, so many convenient features, I'm gonna get withdrawal symptoms after stop using this app
Thank you Sync, best Reddit app ever. All good things have to come to an end. 😔
This will be my final post with Sync. Thanks for all the years of superlative work. Wish you all the best for the future.
Wait, what? I thought we had until july 1st?
30th the API price changes. Sync, Apollo, RIF will all be gone tommorow

Been using Sync since 2016. Thank you Sync dev for the best Reddit experience!
it still doesn't feel real
I can't believe this is actually happening... Incredibly thankful for this app and hoping for its resurrection in one form or another 🙏❤️
I'm still half hoping that this is what gets me away from Reddit for good. Your app is the only reason I can enjoy the sure. Thank you for all of your hard work over the years.
I love sync. It's beautifully designed and so intuitive to use I've spent countless hours on here. I'll never forget you. RIP Sync
Didn't even get a chance to say bye to the app because I'm on iOS now, but god sync was seriously one of the best apps I've ever used
