When Sync for Reddit show a popup promoting Sync for Lemmy, it should also point to this kind of service, to ease the migration. It would also be nice, if sync for Lemmy also had a shortcut.

Besides that a link to a more general community directory like https://lemmyverse.net/ would be nice to have.

      Link looks a bit old, but thank you for the mention! :)

      To add to your comment: I still have a part of my NLNet grant to deliver and it is exactly about integrating the Reddit-to-Lemmy onboarding process on any Lemmy mobile app - like alien.top does, but directly on the app.

      I have some work doing that on a fork of Voyager, but if the Sync for Lemmy devs want to do it as well, I’d be glad to make the switch and collaborate.

    While I get your excitement and willingness to invite more people here, I don’t believe Sync and its team should be responsible for or representative of the potential migration of its users.

    Of course, the official Sync Lemmy community should be advertised, but as for the choice of migrating and choosing an instance, Sync shouldn’t interfere with that, as that is not its role or its purpose.

      Please don’t forget that some of us have absolutely no clue as to what we are doing. As a long term sync user for me Reddit IS sync. Every time I used the website or the app, it made me feel ill.
      Any pointers I can get to start off after Reddit third party apps close down is hugely appreciated. In 6 months time, once I’ve got the hang of it I will be happy to make my own choices. For now I’m grabbing at everything that is made available and I thank you for that.
