16-year Reddit account here. It was the HD-DVD encryption key leak in early 2007.

This is helpful consideration, thank you for sharing.

Hmm looks like it. Works from my lemdro.id account but not from my lemm.ee account.

Edit: I've just checked, lemm.ee returns an error saying the image is too large when using the website as well. I think they've set it low to effectively disable image uploading (since it gave the same error with files under 1 MB).

Must be preference because I greatly prefer Thai Jasmine rice over Indian Basmati. But they're different.

Reddit was a long-ish road too. The first wave in 2007 got folks like myself to make their first Reddit accounts but it wasn't until 2010 that people really started migrating over en masse.

Not everyone will switch, but it's likely enough of the more active folks will to fundamentally change its character.

This is how the Digg to Reddit migrations worked. Initial wave wasn't a death blow but things will keep maturing on Lemmy. By the time Spez upsets people again on Reddit, we will likely see another big wave - hopefully moderating tools are improved enough by then.

Still better to have all the discourse on Lemmy instead of Reddit :).

That one should work. It doesn't use Imgur though, it uploads to your home instance's pictrs.

A lot of the functionality isn't ready yet including submitting posts - but it's coming. Connect is currently more complete but Sync will get there soon.

I made one on each instance but ended up with this as my main when Cole reached out offering us a place to migrate /r/android to (!android@lemdro.id).

Definitely. I'm just wondering because they referred to posting on Lemmy more frequently with Sync - curious if there's another build or whether they meant commenting specifically.

I felt the same until really settling into my career.

Unlike what some folks have suggested, I don't notice any speed or loading advantages over the other native apps. Some of the other offerings may be a little better but the biggest performance gains when it comes to loading will come from moving off the largest instances to a smaller one.

The main differentiating characteristics IMO are below.

Pros:

• The interface is essentially the one from the Reddit app. It's a mature design in terms of polish and is overall more minimalistic and clean UI. I find it consistent and intuitive to navigate.
• Decent amount of customization. While not exhaustive, the options presented are all well thought out. This includes moving things to side bar, bottom bar, and/or a floating action button.

Caveats:

• Ads by default, with a $20 one-time payment option to remove them. There's also an optional subscription (or a $100 lifetime subscription) for added features, which will include push notifications. Prices may be much higher for some other countries as adjustments for purchasing power haven't been made yet.
• As an early build, some basic functionality hasn't yet been implemented including submitting posts or editing post titles. If you're a moderator, mod functionality and reports haven't been implemented yet.
• Like other apps that were originally for Reddit, there are still some legacy references to subreddits. Sync also seems to still use orange for upvotes and blue for downvotes, which is the opposite from Lemmy.
• It's closed source. Without OAuth, the Lemmy devs have discouraged logging in with closed source apps (although I personally trust ljdawson).
• Some people don't trust Sync having ad tracking built-in. They're disabled if you purchase ad removal. Otherwise, there was only one incident in the past where the app began injecting Amazon referral codes into URLs but this was reversed.

Do you have access to an unreleased build? Still no post submission functionality on mine just yet (commenting from Sync).

Interesting. I wonder if anyone has a document comparison between the two versions.

LibreWolf is a great starting point. Otherwise, here's a more guide for more thorough hardening: https://brainfucksec.github.io/firefox-hardening-guide

Which device/build are you running? I'd like to run without Play Services at some point but the last I saw, it wasn't very frictionless. Degoogling is on my to-do list.

Owned an LG Prada. It was really only similar in photos.
