Hi All,

If anyone still wants to use Reddit Sync there was a post up on the Reddit page for the Revanced patch. In case you might want to stick to Sync till the Lemmy app launches.

Here is the tutorial shared by the creator, u/KobeW50

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/preview?pli=1

I tried it and it worked. You can try it on Sync Pro if you have the apk.

I am pasting u/hihowareyou0_0’s simple guide.

Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps Click on “Are you a developer? create an app…” Give it any name. Set it as “installed app.” IMPORTANT: Set " redirect uri " to http://redditsync/auth create the app. TAKE NOTE OF THE CLIENT SECRET (the gibberish text and numbers below the Name) Go to any Text editor (I use an app called “just notes”) Copy + paste the client secret. (And nothing else.) Save the file and call it " reddit_client_id_revanced.txt " MAKE SURE TO NOT SAVE IT ON ANY Folder, JUST THE INTERNAL STORAGE/ROOT Download (not install) this sync for reddit apk Install & open Revanced Manager Make sure all permissions are enabled (Especially " All files access “) Go to the “settings” tab. Enable “experimental patches support.” Restart revanced manager Go to the “Patcher” tab. Click on " Select an application. " Then CLICK ON “Storage” and select the .apk we downloaded. Click on “select a patch.” Select " Change Oauth Client ID” (and optionally “disable ads”) click on done. Then finally click on “patch.” Now wait for it to patch and install the patched apk! If it asks you to update, DON’T. (just a warning)

    This looks like we weren’t reddit users but reddit addicts if we are willing to jump over the hoops to continue using it.

    The fact is that author of the app is no longer supports it, so this will work for short amount of time, but starting there we:

    1. Produce content for them
    2. Likely will switch to their app once it stops working or they will start blocking this
    3. We are less likely contributing to other communities, resulting, less content here and making it harder to switch

      99% of social media/content stuff is basically another form of addiction.

      But it’s such a difficult habit to break. The “good stuff” is literally a click away, and is socially acceptable to indulge in, or HUGELY encouraged in almost all walks* of life: by companies who use it to advertise, necessary in order to do basic things these days, or your friends/family asking why you didn’t react to their latest pics on Facebook. Some other examples of this: get a job by having a good LinkedIn profile, get support by complaining publicly on twitter, getting support through Discord.

      I agree completely.

      This is more for those that might still want some minor access for the time being to have a workable solution than that awful shit official app.
