This is me 100% also. Sync = Reddit for me for many years. The one hand quick scroll and swipe user experience, and the ability to favorite subs without subscribing, are all ingrained into my consumption behavior.

I actually used the Reddit app for nearly a year and still find myself swiping left to close. Whoever in the design team at Reddit must have gotten a memo to be more like TikTok... What a blight upon mankind that app is.

The Fediverse is cool though. It provides a nice fail-safe to quarantine certain communities and content. They can still exist but in case something awful happens, the federated space can be insulated.
