I've started installing ceiling fans in my house and they make a world of difference.

I hope I never have to get air con installed, it just eats through electric.

It's a third party Reddit app. My personal favourite so it's great news.

Sync Pro is just Sync without ads, it only charged a small one-time fee. This info could be out of date as I paid for Sync Pro around ten years ago I think.

Great advice. I've also had success with embellishing the truth, or even just putting a positive spin on the truth. I didn't leave my last job to look after a dying relative, I was a freelance on-call PA working 12 hour days. I wasn't forced to leave my home and spend my life-savings driving cross-country to live with an old friend who was kind enough to let me stay with them and only asked I help out at a soup kitchen they work at, I was expanding my mind with travel, networking, and filling my free time volunteering for a local charity whose goals I felt strongly about.

It helps get you in for an interview. Although in my location jobs are fairly easy to come by these days, which wasn't always the case.

I like it here too. I'm still figuring out the whole Lemmy-verse thing, but I definitely like the idea of it rather than some of the other Reddit alternatives which are seemingly more centralised.

I remember using that app at some stage or another and just getting spammed with useless push notifications even after I turned them off. Promptly uninstalled it.

Don't know if that's changed, but doesnt seem that way based on what i've read.

Must be exciting for someone who's been in over a year seeing it take off like it has.

Over ten years on Reddit and I never was tempted to be a moderator, always seemed a thankless job.

I'm in the same boat as you, still figuring this whole thing out. But it's starting to feel like this Lemmy thing could be the future for Reddit-type websites.

I'm new to the Fediverse but I agree about it moving in the right direction. It feels like the way forward for social media.

100%

It's brilliant now we have viable alternatives we can build on after all the shit they've pulled over the years.

Definitely, put all the content on the Fediverse instead.

It's only after I gave it up I saw the hold it had on me. I removed the Sync icon from my home screen and have found myself instinctively tapping the blank spot where it used to be.

If you build it they will cum.

"No longer interested in supporting Reddit" is a great way to put it.

Yes it'll be interesting to see which subreddits continue the blackout or not. But like you I'll be deleting my account at the end of the month as well.

That's the thing I'm liking about the Fediverse too.

I would tell you what happens, but I fear all I'd report back is "Nothing interesting."

Good thing we found the lifeboats before they locked them behind Reddit gold.

No. I actually think it'd be a great project and help fill out a lot of the communities here and elsewhere on Lemmy.

It would help fill them with content and act as a draw for people I think.

One of the things that made the Reddit experience good was finding random communities you'd never heard of, and sorting by top posts of all time.

Though I suppose it contributed to my doom scroll habits... haha

Good idea, I'd been thinking about just nuking my own account but that's food for thought.

Absolutely, I'm sure he and the other third party devs are watching the Lemmy migration developing. I'm sure something good will come of it.
