apparently there is going to be a Sync for Lemmy. Hopefully we also get Apollo for Lemmy and get rid of reddit for good.
On that note, does anyone know if there’s any decent lemmy mobile apps? I searched a bit but couldn’t find anything meaningful

And it worked flawlessly too. Apollo was really a cut above anything I’ve seen out there. Was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but I suppose not.
I don’t blame Christian. Spez, on a whim, decided to basically destroy his livelihood, with basically no notice. Then Spez kept doubling down and accused Christian of extortion, repeating the accusations after it was proven they were false. I would sell the app even if they reversed course. I wouldn’t trust they wouldn’t do it again. I wouldn’t trust they’d ruin me some other way. If they had said “we’re doing this i…
A Virginia law was signed into effect on May 12th that required commercial entities that distributed "material harmful to minors" to verify the age of the users or be exposed to civil penalties. That law goes into effect in 3 hours.
Sync is also dead. They just sent out a push notification: "Sync for reddit had shutdown. Thank you for using Sync. It's been one hell of a ride."
Such a shame. Made it super easy to browser Reddit anywhere.
The same dev also has “mini” Apple Watch apps for Steam, Wikipedia, and Elon’s Musk.
There will be a spiritual successor though, for kbin/Lemmy, called Artemis: https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp Right now it's in a closed beta, and the size of the closed beta is increasing slowly through the end of the month. The goal is for it to be public around the start of August. That kbin magazine has a link to a signup sheet for the closed beta. (disclosure? I was an alpha tester for it, and so far it looks AMA…
RIP Bacon Reader. Reddit, you’ve burned so much goodwill. I’ve been an enthusiastic user for over 14 years. Now I’m planning to delete my content. At one point recently, I got excited about applying for an engineering leadership position with you, but this debacle has made me realize your senior leadership is not who I want to be reporting to.
I remember signing up for Reddit as a college freshman. I was a digg user and joined Reddit in the aftermath of that fiasco. I sometimes laugh looking over my post history for the past decade plus. If you read the posts linearly, you can trace my evolution from a kid arguing passionately over politics and culture (things he didn't really know much about), to a more mature young adult who rarely waded into discussions…
And even if I wanted to keep using Reddit, a lot of brain drain has already happened, so it’s so much less useful already, and it really feels like one of my favorite tools is suddenly obsolete.

I guess it depends on how niche your interests are. I’m mainly into electronic music machines and synth diy. There’s enough forums for me. There’s other stuff that I frequent on Reddit but at the end of the day it’s usually just crap to distract me that I could do without.
I'm part of a lot of smaller women-centered communities on reddit - my favorite subreddits were r/MoneyDiariesACTIVE, r/FIREyFemmes, r/girlsgonewired r/adhdwomen, r/AmateurRoomPorn, r/AskWomenOver30, etc. Not all of these are explicitly for women only but they all have a majority female user base. I don't think there are equivalents in a forum-type format; I'd probably have to go to TikTok or something, but I don't c…

Putting the content somewhere else defeats the whole purpose of deleting it.
not really, it'd be outside the garden wall, and thus not monetizable by reddit
Well... anyone here needs a Tildes invite?
