I'm super happy to pay again, but I'd also love to see an as smooth as possible transition!

The best thing that could happen to Sync users and Lemmy as their new platform alike, would be an as seamless transition as possible:

An update to the app at the end of the month, a quick explanation "Hey, you might have heard that Reddit has locked us out from their API, this App now supports Lemmy instead" and, ideally: "Sync will help you sign up for and/or migrate your existing subscriptions to Lemmy as much as possible".

Any additional friction, like:

• having to re-download a different app
• having to re-do all settings and customization
• having to resubscribe to all personal interests
• additional pay-gates
• any day of down-time between Sync for Reddit's demise and Sync for Lemmy's launch

would diminish the Sync user base.

I fully realize that this is a massive ask, and that some of it wouldn't necessarily be in /u/ljdawson's best interest. Maybe it's sufficient to seamlessly migrate the free user (monetization wouldn't change for them anyway), while Pro users can be trusted to rebuy a new Pro app (maybe with a settings import or migration option)?
