If you don’t mind a copy of their “Lite” version that often ships with audio hardware, you can google a method to generate a valid license key for that version that doesn’t require buying anything. ;)

I call it sequel but I’ve heard squirrel and squeal.

I finally found the script, sorry for the massive delay.

It’s named “Lemmy Community Seeder” which is probably why I couldn’t find it anywhere, I wasn’t searching for those terms.

I can’t seem to find it in a Google search now so I’ll take a look at my server in case I ran the script there and saved a copy. There appear to be a lot of similar tools now to assist with people moving over from Reddit but this script was really quick and handy.

And every time I try to pull off a sweet gymnastics maneuver below an air conditioning unit suspended by failing screws…

I did this on my instance. You create a new user and give the script those credentials, it goes out and subs to all the trending communities across the various instances so now my instance has a big mish-mash of communities federated, not just the ones I originally subscribed to on my personal user.

Well it’s pretty damn cool for a single dev then, I’m impressed. I like the idea of giving money to a talented dev and not to reddit, too, so that feels nice.

I am looking forward to the lifetime payment, yeah. Is Sync made by a single dev? I don’t know anything about this app aside from everyone clamoring for the team to make a Lemmy-compatible version.

I also find myself using Lemmy less than Reddit but I’m hoping as we discover and tailor our feeds with more fitting communities then it’ll naturally become a healthy replacement. It took me like 10 years to curate my reddit algorithm.

As a Jerboa user who just started using Sync, I can honestly say it’s really fucking slick. Like really slick.
