Sync for Reddit is no more, thanks to Condé Nast taking a page out of the Twitter playbook and charging ridiculous fees for its API.
But Sync is working on an for Lemmy, which is not THE late great Lemmy of Motorhead, but a fediverse alternative to reddit.

rip Sync for Reddit 😭 this definitely was a gold standard for android apps
hopefully Sync for Lemmy comes soon!

Goodbye Sync... It truly has been one hell of a ride.
Time to move on to the Fediverse

Goodnight sweet prince. Reddit is now completely dead to me. Looking forward to #SyncForLemmy

The #Reddit protest started strong but that time limit was a mistake right from the start and it's gone down hill quite a bit despite the awesome trolls on the start page. Now the 3rd party Reddit client #SyncForReddit will apparently try to switch to #Lemmy instead of shutting down, if a few more projects go that route the Lemmy app ecosystem could develope far quicker than I ever expected! I think if we want to not only hurt Reddit but also save some of the devs work that's a great strategy!
Why would anyone moderate a subreddit at this point? One can no longer pretend that it's volunteering to support a community. It's clearer than ever that it's just gifting your labor and data to a profit-driven company.

With twitter, well, being twitter and Reddit now deciding to be awful and all the 3rd party clients shutting down, I feel like the last good parts of the 2000s internet are finally being killed off. It makes me quite sad actually.
I hear that Lemmy is the federated "replacement" for Reddit... Is anyone on it and is it any good?

Unsurprisingly, the third-party reddit app I use has also announced it will shut down on June 30th. https://www.reddit.com/r/redditsync/comments/144jp3w/sync_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023/
