I just came from Reddit, and I hear a lot about Sync. Anyone willing to let me know what it is and how it is important to Lemmy?
It's just another third party app. But it has made the transition from a reddit app to a lemmy app.
Anything was better than reddit official app which was garbage. I preferred Relay. But for people used to sync, it is familiar and a smooth experience here like they were used to there.
For lemmy I prefer Jerboa an open source app, but sync is free to try as well (although it had ads).
Thanks, so it seems like those apps that were going to be charged for the API have a place to transition to. Nice!
Yeah, it's actually a really positive outcome because people really liked the app so they are willing to try something new.
