Sync for Reddit is dead, long live Sync for Lemmy

24k!? Dang. I'm really hoping that contributes to the activity over here. Lemmy provides a similar enough experience that, as long as the people come, it'll be comparable to Reddit for sure.

One question I've been curious about: is your goal to make Sync for Lemmy as close as possible to the same experience as Sync for Reddit, minus any changes that are inherently different between Reddit and Lemmy?

Got tipping rage? This barista reveals what it's like to be behind the tip screen

Tbh, I've got tipping rage. I breeze past the tip screen, and even this article that's sympathetic to tipping culture won't change my mindset. I'm being asked to tip for things that never asked for one before the pandemic, all while the prices of the goods have gone up. I'm already paying more for the food/goods. How dare you ask for more? I'm tired of being fleeced for even more money. If you didn't do anything beyond your job to prepare my order, and you're not actively waiting on me at a sit down restaurant, then I pay the cost of the good. If your employer isn't paying you enough, take it up with them.

Does anyone know how many people have left Reddit?

I don't think the size of Reddit was, itself, responsible for the deterioration, but it did attract bad actors and those not acting in good faith – the bots, reposters, karma whores, etc. It's an unfortunate side effect that's hard to guard against when these actors see a huge platform and an opportunity to take advantage and manipulate it.

You've described the exact situation I find myself in: long-time Sync user, using Connect (and honestly enjoying and appreciating it) but anxiously awaiting Sync for Lemmy.
