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)
Are people this addicted to Reddit? Like to the point of jumping through hoops and whatnot just to use that shitty site that will find another way to shit on its users in 2 weeks? Really? I deleted my account(s) during the blackout and I couldn’t be happier with my choice, this place was toxic as well as the users and especially volunteer moderators being treated like shit
Not to mention: painfully boring with the same reused jokes in every single thread. Couldn’t tell bot from human.
Yeah, the only thing I think ill miss is some more niche communities (the ones with 100k or less members). But I just don’t care enough to stay on there. They really frustrated me with the way they handled the protests and I am happy they did as I had been looking for a reason to delete my account. Even though I kind of liked it there, I didn’t spend more than 2 minutes thinking if I should delete my account. I just said fuck it, ran power delete suite and called it a day lol
