    Unless something has changed, migrating your account is more like copy/pasting config on a new account. Your post history etc however does not come with it. If that’s something that matters to you then picking the “right” server matters a little bit.

    For example lemmy.world has defederated from a bunch of instances (https://lemmy.world/instances) Creating your account there means you’re missing some of the full experience of Lemmy, for better or for worse. A smaller instance may federate more content, but may run slower or worst case stop working entirely if the admin abandons it.

    I just used a handful of different servers over the course of a few weeks to see which was my ideal server.

    I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

    I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

    The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

    When was that? Where?

    The house I bought in my 20s (for $275k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $475k.

    The house I bought in my 30s ($480k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $800k

    In my area at least, home prices are far outpacing inflation. I literally couldn’t afford to buy the house I’m in today at its current value.
