    First Tweetbot and now Apollo… Two apps that shaped my interaction on their respective platforms. Sucks….

    Much like the rest of you, I’m investing myself to Lemmy and giving Reddit the finger. Assholes.

      Sync is going, too. Was my app for years and received a major overhaul just a few months ago. I’ll miss the great user experience.

        Sync was amazing! Not a chance in hell I’ll use anything else.

        I decided to setup a recurring donation to Beehaw in place of my reddit subscription.

        In principle, I’m over reddit even if that backtracked. I’ve been reddit free for 4 days now.

        Super sad about sync. Ljdawson won me over when he implemented a swipe action that I asked and am probably one of the few who uses it. Sad times.

          There were so many cool features. For example if anyone asked for a setting in r/redditsync you could link the setting in your comment and everyone using the app could just click it and jump right to it. I’m still looking for a decent mobile Lemmy experience.

            I loved people’s reaction when they saw someone link a setting for the first time hahaha. Someone recommended jerboa over reddit and that’s what I’m using for now, but it seems to get buggy sometimes and it logs me out, then I have to force close it to log back in.

              I’m just using the website. It’s pretty usable for me, no issues like Jeroba. Of course an actual app would be nice but right now the website provides a better experience, IMO.

      I’m not aware of any third party app trying to make the API pricing work. RIF and Red Reader are shutting down as well.

        RedReader mentioned that it may change to Lemmy client. So I hope that I can just change account and keep using it.
