That’s going to be Sync for Lemmy??

That would awesome. I was a Sync for Reddit user and it was probably the best app I’ve ever used from a user experience point of view.

An all time classic!

Are you serious? That’s pretty funny!

Yes, Reddit is a big dataset and yes, Reddit deserves to make some money off that if other organisations are going to scrape that data, for AI or anything else.

That’s what they should be blocking and monetizing. Not those few users using 3rd party apps. Those folks (posters, mods) are amongst the ones creating that data set for Reddit, free of charge.

They are right about needing to make money to continue as a successful business. But they are doing it the wrong way and alienating their key assets.

Which is why I’m here :)

Now that Sync for Reddit is being discontinued I’m dropping Reddit.

I saw a good write-up about kbin, so I signed up about a day ago and have been liking what I see - although it’s obviously still in its early stages.

I don’t know much about Lemmy and Federation, but is it a bit like the Newsgroups of old (Usenet), where you joined a Usenet service and any posts on any service propagated across all servers?
