I miss Sync for Reddit and i CANNOT wait for this :)

I'm loving Connect for Lemmy right now, but certainly curious to see how this turns out! Sync was my go-to app for Reddit.
Connect is absolutely incredible. I can't believe how quickly the developer is massively improving the app.
~~It is already pretty great. The one thing that annoyed me enough to stop using it (for now) is that it displays two refreshing spinner animations whenever you pull down to refresh the feed. It's a small thing, but it irked me enough to just stick to using the mobile app for a bit longer.~~
UPDATE: Nevermind, it looks like this was fixed in a recent update. I'm back on Connect now, and it's pretty great. Probably the best Android app for Lemmy right now.
They seem to be updating quite a bit lately. The latest update really made the experience 10x better with easier to read cards. Android btw
I've been swapping between jerboa and connect a lot. I like jerboas interface a bit more but connect is way more stable
Ive been really liking Connect. The latest updates really polished the whole thing up. I might try a couple more apps just to see but I think I'll stick with Connect.
Is connect open source?
Thanks for the suggestion - Liftoff/else we're great, Connect is outstanding until we get Sync.
Omg let's gooooooooo. My body is ready.
I can't wait to start this whole journey again with Sync for Lemmy.
Can't wait for this. Will have to wait a while longer for kbin support.
This is android only, right?
Yeah it will be, dunno if there are iOS plans down the line, but most likely not
There was a Sync iOS TestFlight for many years but it never really matured.
It was not created the same dev. He endorsed it but it was someone totally different.
This explains much.
In the meantime Iβve been using Memmy for Lemmy. Itβs pretty good especially given how new it is. I came over from Apollo as a reference point. Definitely vastly improved my experience and made me miss Reddit way less
Edit** also using Mlem which is still in text flight. Figured Iβd see where they both land.
i believe so, as it is based on android UI principles (material you)
Check out memmy. It's now in the app store
I can't wait! My go-to app on Reddit for years.
While I'm not itching for an app, as I'm just using the built-in home page shortcut functionality in my browser, which launches the web page basically as its own app (no URL bar), I look forward to this and Boost for Lemmy. Way back when, I was a Sync user. If this drops first, I could see myself using that again.
Same! Super pumped.
I hope that this also works for kBin
Asked this in another thread but I'll ask here as well.
I was a Relay users. One of the things I liked is that it would open a lot of things in overlay windows. Like youtube videos and such. Basically it had handlers for lots of file types and websites. Did sync do anything like that?
Yes, it did. It had native handlers for YouTube, imgur/etc. If the native handler had an issue (e.g. YouTube blocked it unless it was in YouTube's player) then you could break out to an internal or external browser.
Thank you. Then for lack of Relay this is my great hope.
I was a relay user for a good while but I switched to sync after I saw just how feature rich it was. I think you will be happy with sync if you liked relay. Hopefully it will be nearly the same experience for lemmy!
Hmm, I don't think so. I admit I'm struggling to recall though, already!
Version 23
The date of every build is the version number
I was too tired to figure that out. π
Hope it is open source, because I don't think sync for reddit was
