Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore (www.androidpolice.com)

I do understand. But is lemmy so different from reddit? In each case the content is done by the users anyway, and subreddits come and go all of the time. One could argue that Facebooks aquisition of WhatsApp is the same kind of change, as switching out the reddit backend of Sync with a lemmy backend.

The API is completely different. The underlying code had to be completely rewritten from scratch. (Not the UI elements, the handling of the API calls.) It's a lot of work.
