I do too. I was given premium because alien blue and something else so I have tons and tons of coins. I don’t think it’s worth giving Reddit the traffic to give them out, especially if they are all going to disappear in a. Couple months anyhow. My account is still active I just haven’t been to Reddit since the 11th June.

I had premium for maybe a year or two, back when it was first implemented. Coins just piled up because of it and Sync didn't have the ability to award so I just forgot about them. (Or maybe it did have the feature and I'm a dum-dum)

I very much enjoyed ripping out all of the award code in Sync for Lemmy.

Love Sync! I think I've purchased it like, 5 times across two Google accounts and the pro/dev/beta or whatever versions over the last 10 years.

I did have a question; if Lemmy were to introduce flairs, would you want to reimplement them? I absolutely loved being able to see which team someone supported on r/cfb so I knew whether or not I could respect their opinion.

This is very important to me.

I need to judge people based on their favorite teams...

Seems like the bigger challenge is getting a CFB community populated on the fediverse in the first place.

Yeah they basically didn't care about the API stuff and I don't know that they ever shut down.

I'm hoping people can start migrating but I'm not hopeful.

Heyyy! Thanks so much for all the work you put into Sync (pro) over the years! Hopefully the transition to Lemmy hasn't been too much of a hassle. Apologies for not seeing the award feature in the app - I'm clearly a dum dum :-D

Ah I could only show awards, Reddit never allowed 3P apps to give / buy awards.

Ah gotcha. I'll take being partially dum-dum. Have a great weekend!
