Hey everyone. If you want to post links or discuss the Reddit blackout, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy!
I am really going to miss Sync most of all from this whole debacle. LJ has commented that he’s toying with the idea of porting it over to Lemmy but I would be surprised if he’s able to do it all that smoothly. Still, I can dream.
LJ is the GOAT for sure, I remember loading the redditsync test beta when I had the original HTC with a trackball (it’s lived in the same spot on every device ever since then to this day). I hope he does focus on Lemmy - I’d pay for his efforts all over again. Still, despite the minor inconveniences I’m finding adopting this new set of servers and building out my personalized feeds I’m finding the Jerboa app a similar enough reading experience that it’s not jarring.
The most recent update for Jerboa definitely made it look less awful, and it works alright. I miss the customization of Sync for sure, though. I went back and looked and it looks like I purchased the ad removal back in 2014, so I’ve been using it for close to 10 years now.
