Would it be that difficult to make Apollo work with Lemmy? I'm not a fan of Jerboa, but it is what it is and I'm thankful for it..
Sync is being rebuilt for lemmy. It's definitely possible but it's less of a conversion and more of a brand new app that looks and acts similarly to the original from what I understand
Dropped into the sync subreddit and saw it officially announced

woo!
I use Sync on my android and it's a great app. I'm excited for this.
Is Sync open source?
I assumed that’s going to be android only.
Christian's words were it would be a "gargantuan" effort. From what he's said in interviews / posts etc. I'm not sure he actually wants to rebuild it for another service. It's a shame as it's a fantastic app, but every endpoint for every action would need to be re-written, tested etc. and of course, Lemmy and Reddit don't always have like for like feature sets anyway, and the APIs could be vastly different. Essentially he'd be re-building the app from scratch.
He also said he’s been pretty burnt out with everything going and he just doesn’t know if he has it in him right now. And I totally get it. Dude deserves a break.
I'm really hoping some of the reddit devs are interested in helping out the people who were most loyal to them. I use Boost on Android personally, but I would be willing to buy another version of the app that is designed for the Fediverse. I'd pay double what I paid for the reddit app, just to support the active developer of my app.
I used vanilla app..but I'm willing to pay for a nice app to handle the fediverse.
Depends on the app. For Mastodon, Ivory was quick on the heels of Tweetbot, but I believe it was already in the works and the implementation might've been simpler.
And tbh, in the case of Twitter there was more time between Musk's takeover and killing off the API, whereas Reddit is breaking records in how quickly you can estrange your user base.
