That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

You're right about the apps coming great, I just downloaded Connect for Lemmy and it took all of 5 minutes for me to transition from baconreader. This app is smooooth too. What other apps are there though?

I'm using Liftoff. Just switched yesterday after Jerboa completely blanked out on me. So far, so good! The dev seems to be actively debugging and improving the app, so I have high hopes for this one. The reddit Sync developer is also in the process of making a Sync for Lemmy, with a hoped-for release in six weeks.

Connect seems really good so far.

Big thing is time for now. The Devs of some of the largest Reddit apps are onboard with making Lemmy apps but given Reddit's disgustingly short timeline for the API changes they've not really had the time required to do much.

I'm certainly waiting with for Sync for Lemmy as I used Sync for a decade and am more than happy to wait and support the dev.

Sync won't be the only major app either.
