Sync for Lemmy is happening

Tight-laced

Best news I’ve had all day.

Happy to see LJDawson rising from the Reddit shitshow.

I use Kbin :\

He might add kbin support. A lot of people have been requesting it.

There is also this: !ArtemisApp@kbin.social

Still all being figured out, so totally possible he tries to cover as much of the fediverse as possible. Lots of people asking him for it and I know he’s listening.

I mean, it’s the same general theory so I imagine it would work.

Fantastic news! Sync was my favorite client for Reddit by a wide margin; excited to continue supporting your work LJDawson :)

I’ve been a Relay devotee, but Sync is a great app too, and I’m really looking forward to 1-3 months from now when we’ll likely have a wide variety of apps to choose from.

It just prompts me to pause and consider how poorly Reddit managed to handle this situation. Rather than offer reasonable API terms, or even a normal timeline, which would have been a win-win-win scenario, they’ve:

Motivated a large chunk of their userbase to join competing sites
Driven their 3rd-party developers away, some of which will be creating apps for those competing sites, likely bringing their users with them
Alienated their free labor force of moderators
Abandoned their users who have accessibility issues
Whipped up the rabble into a mob. The internet loves to grab a pitchfork, for the lolz as much as anything
Spun up a monthlong parade of worst media coverage they’ve ever suffered across not just tech media, but all media. Which is really quite staggering accomplishment given their previous controversies.
…in the year that they are aiming to IPO.
