  • Yup, I still visit Reddit daily because of the small subreddits for games I’m playing, which are barely active on Lemmy.

    I mostly stay away from everything else on Reddit, but then again I already usually did that even before the recent API changes and removal of third party apps.

    You could say I can try to contribute more to those communities here on Lemmy, but even on Reddit I never posted much and would just comment on random stuff once in a while. So it’s hard to go from that to actively posting and commenting here on Lemmy…






  • After Sync released I tried even more other Lemmy clients because of all the other recommendations in the Sync discussion threads, and there are definitely a lot of great Lemmy apps.

    But as an old Sync (for Reddit) user myself I also get the feeling of familiarity using the Sync Lemmy app, with the customizability to even adjust what each “step” of the swiping gestures does, while using other Lemmy apps I mostly feel like I’m locked to “getting used to the app”. So I understand why some people are so happy to use Sync again.

    That being said I do agree that it feels expensive to pay even for ad-less, and people may not like that the free version has ads. I will probably pay just for ad-less (not Ultra) once I have figured out if I like any of the other Lemmy apps better (or not.)











  • Integration with Google Assistant smart speakers is the main reason I would want to use Google Tasks instead of other Todo solutions. In particular, asking Google to add groceries to my shopping list while I’m cooking, so that I don’t need to bring out my phone and tap it in manually since my hands are occupied or dirty.

    But the integration has sucked for so long that I had pretty much given it up. Maybe if it really actually works now (instead of putting my tasks into various other Google services), I will give Google Tasks another shot.
