I switched to Sync after Reddit purchased Alien Blue. I used the free version for a while. Eventually I purchased the Pro version then a short while after that purchased the Ultimate version. I got way more than my money's worth in that app considering Reddit was about 60% of my phone use.

I am 99% lurker and I joined a few weeks ago. I've been patiently waiting to see what happens with the amount and type of content after an assumed bump in activity when 3rd party apps go dark.

I was an Alien Blue user for years before Reddit purchased it, then I was using Sync (and will be again soon with Sync for Lemmy). Reddit is essentially dead to me without 3rd party apps.
