For me at least.

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

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

[–] LJay71 4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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

[–] giljegiljegilje 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] incognito_15 5 points 1 year 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 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] wavefrost 14 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nslatz 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

So do we just uninstall it now? Feels wrong.

[–] danhasnolife 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I can't do it quite yet. Feels like a funeral today, and I'm only half joking. I probably sunk over a thousand hours into this app.

[–] LemmyFeed 4 points 1 year ago

I feel the same about my baconreader app. They're removing it from the play store and I can't bring myself to uninstall it. Idk how long I'll hold out but I might just transfer it to my next phone as a reminder/badge of honor or something.

[–] GiddyGap 3 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping to continue sinking hours into Sync when it's ready for lemmy. I'll delete my reddit app when the lemmy app is out.

[–] xhieron 2 points 1 year ago

It really does. I uninstalled it last night, and now there's a big empty space on my phone where Sync is supposed to live. My wife and I were talking about it this morning, and we were talking about it in grief terms. It's kind of like a family member died--a family member who held a lot of memories and history, and so it really is a kind of mourning process.

For what it's worth, that grief is part of what motivates me--like I think many of us refugees--to really push Lemmy and find our ways to get the most out of it. I want to punish the people who did this, and the way to do that is to hurt their bottom line. After I uninstalled Sync, my next step was the data request, and my next few days are going to be converting over bookmarks to their Lemmy equivalents until nothing is left.

[–] GriftMore 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, that was a tough uninstall

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).

[–] dutchkimble 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Using Connect for Lemmy until Sync rises again from the ashes

[–] rockyrikoko 2 points 1 year 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

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.

Sad man. Sync was my jam. Tried all of them and it was always my fav. Can't wait for it's migration over here!

[–] Kibo 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boost also dead. It just slowly went away… as if it was taking its last breaths. RIP. Fuck spez

[–] NABDad 5 points 1 year ago

RiF as well

[–] Magister 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Purplexingg 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, sync was alright I guess...

[–] allyougottadois 7 points 1 year ago (6 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] satmandu 6 points 1 year ago

RIF appears to be dead too. 🫡

[–] huskerDude 6 points 1 year ago

Such a good app. I rotated through Boost, Infinity, and Joey over the years but I always ended up back on Sync. Oh well, I'm excited to see how Sync for Lemmy turns out.

[–] kokesh 5 points 1 year ago

I was surprised when they did the cutoff 1 hour early. Now I have to go and buy popcorn, so I can watch the sinking ship loosing value.

[–] Devgard 5 points 1 year ago

😭 not Sync

[–] nslatz 3 points 1 year ago

I just get 401 on the front page. Deadit is dead.

[–] bahnburner 2 points 1 year ago

Leave it to Fucking spez to pull the trigger early.

[–] bahnburner 2 points 1 year ago

Leave it to spez to pull the trigger early. What a bastard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
