    Came in support of Apollo; I just couldn’t in good conscience continue to support Reddit (even after 19 years) with how they treated external clients.

    Found it similar to Reddit so it scratched the same itch.

    Left Reddit because of the API stuff. Still on Lemmy because it’s not as addictive and has a much higher concentration of leftists.

        I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

        The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.

          I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

          I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.

          Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).

          It does on Android with a personal Reddit API key and ReVanced. There are instructions posted over st r/baconreader.

    Came because of the reddit API. Stayed, because I couldn’t stand reddit users anymore.

    Reddit bad.

    I got on Reddit because it’s pseudonymous, and the nesting of threads is good. I didn’t appreciate it for a while, but upvote/downvote also provides a useful proxy for what body language does in real life.

    It became large enough to sustain conversation. I hope it becomes large enough to sustain niche communities.

    EDIT: also “civility” doesn’t mean “don’t sass the nazis” like it does on reddit.

    Mostly for memes about beans.

    Uh but for real because reddit quite literally sold out and went full corpo.
