Hi All,

If anyone still wants to use Reddit Sync there was a post up on the Reddit page for the Revanced patch. In case you might want to stick to Sync till the Lemmy app launches.

Here is the tutorial shared by the creator, u/KobeW50

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/preview?pli=1

I tried it and it worked. You can try it on Sync Pro if you have the apk.

I am pasting u/hihowareyou0_0’s simple guide.

Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps Click on “Are you a developer? create an app…” Give it any name. Set it as “installed app.” IMPORTANT: Set " redirect uri " to http://redditsync/auth create the app. TAKE NOTE OF THE CLIENT SECRET (the gibberish text and numbers below the Name) Go to any Text editor (I use an app called “just notes”) Copy + paste the client secret. (And nothing else.) Save the file and call it " reddit_client_id_revanced.txt " MAKE SURE TO NOT SAVE IT ON ANY Folder, JUST THE INTERNAL STORAGE/ROOT Download (not install) this sync for reddit apk Install & open Revanced Manager Make sure all permissions are enabled (Especially " All files access “) Go to the “settings” tab. Enable “experimental patches support.” Restart revanced manager Go to the “Patcher” tab. Click on " Select an application. " Then CLICK ON “Storage” and select the .apk we downloaded. Click on “select a patch.” Select " Change Oauth Client ID” (and optionally “disable ads”) click on done. Then finally click on “patch.” Now wait for it to patch and install the patched apk! If it asks you to update, DON’T. (just a warning)

      I’ve been trying to read more. At lunchtime, for example, where I’d usually scroll endlessly through reddit for an hour, I’ve now for a book open.

        My issue with going back is Reddit doesn’t WANT me back. I’m not wanted there. I was intentionally cut out from using the site because I use a 3rd party app exclusively. Why would I go where I’m obviously not wanted? I feel wanted here. The sync developer is making an app for Lemmy. I’m wanted here, people want me to make content, and interact in the comments. Why would I want to go back to Reddit?

      I stopped using it completely. Used it only through Sync and am not missing it.
