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.
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.
I’ve been hunting for a YNAB equivalent and alternative for years since they went subscription based. This looks to fill that hole.
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?
You’re right. I jumped to the conclusion. Thanks for correcting me.
