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)

Honestly I’d rather just have an excuse to use reddit less
I stopped using it completely. Used it only through Sync and am not missing it.
Same. I’ve gone back to reddit just once and kinda regretted it tbh
My issue with going back is Reddit doesn’t WANT me back. I’m not wanted there. I was intentionally cut out from using the site because I use a 3rd party app exclusively. Why would I go where I’m obviously not wanted? I feel wanted here. The sync developer is making an app for Lemmy. I’m wanted here, people want me to make content, and interact in the comments. Why would I want to go back to Reddit?
or… just switch to Lemmy?
You could also just get the APK file from APK mirror. But after trying the official one (patched mind you) I uninstalled it, it’s just too bad. If lemmy needed any advertisment, I’d say that the official Reddit app is doing a pretty good job at it.
I’m glad someone was dedicated enough to do this but frankly this is too much work for that website. Moving away from the huge social media companies will be healthier for the internet and they are nothing without users. Best they remember that.
I tried it and it didn’t work. I’m not sure if that’s because I only have the final updated version of Sync Pro. I was really disappointed.
I owned Sync pro but ended up backing up my config and then Patching the standard Sync app with ad blocking enabled. Works a treat for now.
