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

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

Sync would mark posts on reddit as read when you scrolled past them, even if you didn’t read it. Paired with hide read it let you keep viewing content you hadn’t seen before. Here so far I just skip a few pages in and hope for the best.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
