I used to equate Sync with Reddit too, but now I have a different perspective.

Reddit is nothing but a glorified link aggregator. Sync was my preferred way of viewing said list of links. Now that I have the exact same experience on Lemmy I’ve realized that Sync wasn’t Reddit, it was link aggregation and where those links come from doesn’t really matter.

It’s kind of poetic because that’s the promise of Lemmy. It doesn’t matter where the links are hosted.
