For me at least.

Looks like they enforced rate limits an hour before midnight UTC.

Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy!

[–] wavefrost@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Really looking forward to Lemmy on Sync. Hopefully it helps kickstart some greater exodus from Reddit to Lemmy.

[–] Declared0978@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Really loved sync, and on principal have quit reddit. I don't know if it does anything, but when I need search results from reddit I view the Google cached version instead.

Looking forward to sync for lemmy (I NEED a read-on-scroll for lemmy, I don't know how everyone else is handling it).

Using Connect for Lemmy until Sync rises again from the ashes

[–] rockyrikoko@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Same here! I've tried a handful of apps, including some paid versions, and Connect for Lemmy is the most intuitive I've found so far

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Infinite scroll. More posts/replies loading as you scroll so you never reach a load more screen

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Sync for Reddit is dead.

Long live Sync for Lemmy!

[–] electriccars@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just used the revanced hack to make it still work by making Reddit think it's my own developed app. Able to use it right now!

But I REALLY like Lemmy, so even if I occasionally use Reddit after that dumpster fire, my usage will be split in half by Lemmy.

[–] LeHappStick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I tried the Revanced patch as well, it worked flawlessly, but oh dude, it was still the official reddit app, it was so bad lmao I had been using Boost for about 3 years and honestly there is no point of comparison, 3rd party apps are so much better.

[–] electriccars@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think you misunderstood, I used the revanced manager to patch Sync so I could continue to use it, not the official app to just remove ads (which would still be an improvement).

[–] LeHappStick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, I thought you had patched the official app.

[–] inflatablerobot@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could you go into more detail here, or provide a link that explains this hack? Thanks

[–] pory@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Here you go. It doesn't violate the terms of service for Reddit to use it this way, but given the fact that blacking out or John Olivering subreddits was also not against TOS but Reddit took action against it, it's strongly recommended you make a new Reddit account if you plan to do this.

[–] lolreconlol@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

RIP! Using Connect for now until Sync/Boost are ready for Lemmy :)

[–] incognito_15@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've tried Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect, and so far Connect is my favorite. Definitely waiting with anticipation for Sync for Lemmy, though.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Also on Connect and it's daily updates are making it very usable. It's quick, slick, has material you and even the bugs are somehow not really distracting, they don't have a negative impact on the experience.

Mostly things like "1 points" or the not reacting textarea toolbar. It could be coded by me, it makes me already feel at home.

[–] protput@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

End of an era for me. Had the pro version for 11 years and was using the free before that. Most app screentime every day on my phone. I refuse to install the official reddit app.

[–] ignitionnight@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I had the official app installed for push notifications, but other than the initial setup I never opened it.... holy shit it's bad.

[–] nslatz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

So do we just uninstall it now? Feels wrong.

[–] allyougottadois@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

There's a Revanced patch for Sync as well as a few other popular apps that let's you continue using 3rd party apps. I'm currently running a patched version of Sync Pro and it still completely works just like it did before.

[–] Stdvectorsize@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] allyougottadois@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The current workaround is to become a moderator. Just create your own subreddit and that should potentially give you access to nsfw. Maybe also set the sub to nsfw for good measure.

[–] haych@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago

Yes, but apparently the NSFW side of the API will shutdown later on the 5th

[–] zephyreks@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] allyougottadois@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Here's the guide that I used. I'm also using a modded version of Sync Pro from mobilism, worked just fine in the Revanced patcher and let's you use Pro without crashing.

[–] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

which Revanced patch allows to continue using it? I use the "recommended" two (Change Oauth Client Id and Disable Ads) and the patcher keeps aborting

[–] pory@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You need a text file with the new oauth key to be present. Here's a guide

[–] allyougottadois@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's the Change Oauth Client ID patch, but there's some other stuff you have to setup for it to actually work. Here's the guide that I used.

[–] 6jarjar6 1 points 2 years ago

RIP BaconReader. Its been over 10 years

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yup, incredible, I was using SyncPro hours per day for 10 years, I certainly spent thousands of hours on it ☹️

[–] Purplexingg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, sync was alright I guess...

[–] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least Sync and a couple of the other 3rd party Reddit apps will have a revival for Lemmy!

[–] LJay71@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you happen to know what some of the other apps are that are switching to Lemmy?

[–] giljegiljegilje@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Boost for Lemmy has just opened up registrations on the Play store.

Using "Connect for Lemmy" right now cause jerboa is borked for me lol

[–] kvothelu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

same connect is good one. but waiting for sync since I have been using pro since 8 9 years

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was a RiF user the day I got reddit and I was a RiF user the day I deleted my account, I just like Jerboa cause it seems to match the vibe.

Was sync available on Android? I can't remember.

An end is just a beginning for something else. Can't wait to use Sync for Lemmy.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

How many of you haven't uninstalled but still accidentally open it a couple of times a day due to habit?

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

They can't even get their timezones straight.
