If it’s female how about just Kay?

I don’t care about it being open source.

LJD has proven to be an excellent dev, who also listens to his users. He’s built to a lot of trust as a result.

If he sold Sync, then my answer might be different.

I almost never re-read books. I suppose if it has been a really long time - like 15 or 20 yrs - and I loved the book, then I’m not against the idea.

This is probably because one of the things I love about reading most is not knowing where things are going to go. Hence why I like a lot of suspense/thriller type stories.

Yeah, I’m wondering if I shouldn’t get too comfortable setting up with this account, in case I have to move to a direct Lemmy account.

Whatever Sync works that’s where I’ll be.

My wallet is ready to buy whatever the highest tier is. Based on my Sync for Reddit experience it will be well worth it!

Oh, when you search, there is

SyncForLemmy

and also

syncforlemmy

They both exist the first one is the official one.

Sync was not only my favourite Reddit app, it was probably my favourite app.

Its UI was so usable that I found myself using the same gestures and taps to navigate through other apps and being disappointed when that didn’t work.

It was that good.

Bring it on!

I just did that.

Go to Magazines (bottom of page on my phone).

Search for syncforlemmy

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on subscribe

Done!

That’s going to be Sync for Lemmy??

That would awesome. I was a Sync for Reddit user and it was probably the best app I’ve ever used from a user experience point of view.

That’s an interesting point, I hadn’t tried doing that yet. Seems fairly fixable though. I guess all this stuff will start to get better soon.

I don’t properly understand how all of this works.

But signing up to kbin on the weekend was just like signing up for anything else online.

And once I did, replying to posts - like this one - was more or less the same as replying on any other discussion forum.

So…I don’t get it, what’s so hard? Do you really need to understand the technical details underneath to start using this place?

That said, I would like to grasp this whole thing a little better. But I figured the best way to do that is to jump straight in and go from there! :)

An all time classic!

Are you serious? That’s pretty funny!

Yes, Reddit is a big dataset and yes, Reddit deserves to make some money off that if other organisations are going to scrape that data, for AI or anything else.

That’s what they should be blocking and monetizing. Not those few users using 3rd party apps. Those folks (posters, mods) are amongst the ones creating that data set for Reddit, free of charge.

They are right about needing to make money to continue as a successful business. But they are doing it the wrong way and alienating their key assets.

Which is why I’m here :)

I can empathize with this - I did the same thing this morning! :D

Now that Sync for Reddit is being discontinued I’m dropping Reddit.

I saw a good write-up about kbin, so I signed up about a day ago and have been liking what I see - although it’s obviously still in its early stages.

I don’t know much about Lemmy and Federation, but is it a bit like the Newsgroups of old (Usenet), where you joined a Usenet service and any posts on any service propagated across all servers?

Yeah, that’s what they did with me when I went in a couple of weeks ago here in Australia (non-critical car accident). The paramedics hung around and I stayed on their ambulance stretcher until I went into an Emergency bed.
