I put a ton of time into making Sync for Reddit look and behave exactly the way I liked it, and I don’t even know how I’d replicate that when Sync for Lemmy comes out. I can understand why it would be difficult but it would be so awesome
This is mostly working now
Is the app live yet?
Still waiting on Google

Good news! It works! You can indeed use old backups, and it (so far) works without issue
I’d say best practice at the moment would be to make a note/screenshots of your old app settings just in case so you can manually set things up later. You can swipe down on the “Sync for Reddit shutting down” message in the old app to hide it and still get into your old settings. That said, the current test version can restore from an old backup, but it breaks some stuff like preventing comments from loading. From what I saw while recreating my settings everything seemed to be there 1 to 1 so it shouldn’t be too bad.
So this actually works, I imported my S4R backup into S4L and my layout carried over.
After I did this I kept getting 400 errors when trying to read comments to pretty much every thread. Could be something in my backup settings though. Started fresh and no issues.

I just tried this, broke S4L so I had to uninstall and reinstall. Oh well, I just opened each app side by side and went through every setting so it matched.
