I don’t think the hesitation is with the developer of Sync. I think he is worried about the sustained success from Lemmy. If people keep staying active, more people will join. But it could also fade away quickly (I hope not).

I must be grandfathered in. I have YouTube Music for $9.99 a month that also includes YouTube Premium

Look at who you responded to. It’s one of the usernames you pinged. Just saying 🙂

Same - I keep getting a verification expired notification but the page never loads.

Jerboa is a nice replacement for now, but I love the way sync was set up. That said, with time Jerboa could become feature rich. And options is key!

Don’t delete it just yet, the app developer mentioned there is a chance he updates the API and app to work with Lemmy.

Do you live near a Microcenter? If so, I would recommend checking out their CPU/Motherboard combo deals.
As a few other people have added, PC Partpicker is great for compatibility. Best of luck and feel free to ask questions as you go!

Or they took it offline to “hide” all the blacked out subreddits. Some had images about the third party apps as their only post, which was on the front page. By going offline it makes it seem like more of a technical issue rather than a protest.

I had to move Sync off the homepage of my phone to avoid the muscle memory of just clicking it mindlessly. I have caught myself once or twice wanting to type it into the URL.

Time will help that at least. The reason google links to reddit is there were great discussions there. With time lemmy (or another federated instance) will likely take its place.
I went to results for reddit because I could see people interacting about the question. This looks to have that same allure.
