Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

Tried the "official" app for the first time in years, uninstalled after 10 min... RIP Rif

I've been trying it for concurrent to Rif and Sync. The differences are individually small, but taken as a whole the official app is just horrible. If it weren't for Rif and Sync, I don't think I would have become a Reddit user. I'm desperately hoping Lemmy reaches the critical mass and Sync for Lemmy becomes a thing.

Good news! Sync for Lemmy is already being worked on! Really excited to see how that turns out. I'll follow that dev anywhere. Sync was amazing to use. Easiest purchase of my life.

You can sign up for Sync for Lemmy here:syncapps.io, you may have to use a Chromium-based browser and disable uBlock to register tho

Boost for Lemmy is also coming soon. (For those who preferred that to Sync. Both are awesome.) Nice to see former Reddit talent helping out in the Fediverse.

The official app os total junk and utterly unusable.

RIP RIF.

Looking forward to building something new here.
