The API changes. I use Sync, and not being able to use Sync made Reddit more or less unusable for me on my phone. I also fundamentally disagreed with the direction Reddit was going. So, Lemmy it was, and it’s great. And now there’s Sync for Lemmy, which is even better!
Same here. I exclusively browsed Reddit via app on my phone and tablet. After watching my wife struggle with the official Reddit app, I decided I would never use it. So when that became the only option, I decided it was time to move on to Lemmy.
Besides, I’m very anti-advertisement and Reddit has turned very corporate lately, looking for every way to make a buck at our expense. So I’m done supporting that site. Information and community discussion should be freely accessible, not buried behind paywalls, awards, and advertisements.

I was on Infinity.
When it was forked as Eternity, that was my go-to on Lemmy (unfortunately hasn’t seen an update in a while).
Sync is awesome too!
