Where Does Sync for Lemmy Store Accounts?
Sync for Lemmy keeps accounts, drafts and image cache in private Android storage under its verified package ID.
Last updated
Sync for Lemmy is Android only from the developer behind Sync for Reddit. Accounts, drafts and image cache sit in private storage for its verified package, whose full string includes syncapps in the middle. Short guesses that drop that part find nothing on device, so quote the exact ID from system app info when asking for help.
Timelines, subscriptions and posts stay on each instance rather than in local files. The in-app settings export covers UI preferences yet leaves sessions out by design, which keeps tokens off portable backups. On a new phone, install the app fresh and log back into each instance instead of copying private folders.
Where Sync for Lemmy stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Sync for Lemmy to a new phone?
Log back into each instance on the new phone. Subscriptions and posts live server side. App settings export from inside Sync covers UI prefs without sessions.
What is the exact Sync package name?
The real ID is io.syncapps.lemmy_sync, not the shorter guess that drops apps from the middle. Quote the full string from Settings Apps when asking for help, since the short form finds nothing on device. Fresh logins under the correct ID pull subscriptions back from each instance.
