i’m a newbie help me understand. what are the benefits of some of these other apps versus the Voyager app I’m currently using?
-
Mostly personal preference. :)
-
OP's site explains some differences. Mostly device based. I personally use Sync and it's just like Reddit! So, the interface curve was almost zero.
-
Because the creator simply converted his app "Sync for Reddit" to a Lemmy app when Reddit fucked over all third party apps at the first big exodus
-
Sync is not open source tho, just in case someone cares about that.
-
Thanks for that! Had no idea!
-
-
thanks I’ll check it out

Hopefully someone else chimes in but I know that there's one app that allows you to export your Reddit communities here. [Finds Lemmy communities of the same name as the Reddit ones.]
That's nice, right?
-
Voyager has this option, but I did not use it, so I don't know how well it does.
I search for a community and add the one with the most users or most recent posts. If it isn't active, I find a less broad topic that would encompass that community.
I also spend most of my time on "all" and find active communities that way
-
yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing so far and this place feels a lot more like how I remember Reddit being 10 years ago. which is a good thing
-
Got'cha!
-
-
unfortunately, I got banned, nuked my account, and deleted it all before I came over here. so I’m rebuilding from scratch, but so far so good.
-
Ouch, sorry to hear that.
-
all good feels like a clean slate.
