It's open source and I'd like some feedbacks, as you can see I such at designing mobile apps.

Also, if you have any feature recommendations it would be nice to hear about

My idea is to setup a background service that keeps all accounts you want synced using instances APIs

Blocked users and communities, with the option to add to or replace the lists.

Might as well add the capability to block whole instances.

OP isn't making a full client.

Apps don't suck if they work.
If an app looks great and flashy but functionally is garbage, then what's the point.

Give me a plain looking app that works well every time.

Looking forward to grabbing this when it's available.

Some import/export feature would be cool

Sick pls post again when it’s available to download

Exactly what I have been looking for this entire evening, i made a new account on lemm.ee and now I'm looking to sync my old (lemmy.world) and new accounts. I will give it a try and report back here. Thank you for your efforts

Edit: can you post a link please, I couldn't find it in the play store.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I started yesterday and unfortunately it won't finish until next week, I'll post as soon as it goes online

[–] cyberpunk007 4 points 10 months ago

This will be amazing! Thanks for your efforts

Not a mobile app but I used this script the other day and it worked great for me: https://github.com/bunburya/lemmy2opml

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Thank you for referring, I ended up using https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate to migrate my old account's subs to my new account.

UI/UX designer here. Wouldn't mind spending a couple hours of my free time designing a better interface for you. Would be a fun project.

Feels like these can be baked into the apps that people use to browse lemmy 🤔

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

Probably, if that was the case I wouldn't be making this one

If any open source client wants to add this feature, I'd love to help

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Currently using LASIM, but this looks like an improvement!

I have comments, posts and saved stuff across three accounts.

[–] MargotRobbie 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can I ask about how it works? Will my comments also be visibly duplicated on each instance then?

[–] AlmightySnoo 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think this is for list data, like subscriptions, blocked users, saved posts etc...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Exactly, it would not be nice to duplicate all comments and posts

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

*user is banned for multi account comment spamming

Yeah it will happen like that if comments are duplicated.

[–] Draconic_NEO 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Very nice, do you have a GitHub where we could follow the project?

Constructive advice about the UI:

The padding on the top feels unnatural as there's lots of open space which isn't common for that area. Maybe add a header that gives instructions and move the content higher, something like "Getting started" with an icon and some text below?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Great, I tried and it feels better already.

Thanks!

[–] ryannathans 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This would require both instances to be online at the same time. A hard ask

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not really, since it can re-sync it later on if you just do regular polling

[–] ryannathans 7 points 10 months ago

It was tongue in cheek

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I'm thinking about how I'm going to keep it synced and I'll probably keep an offline list of all the communities per instance and update it often, after that, add and remove communities in the other instances

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Material you design would be nice

Is it possible via the API to get the date/time when a subscription was added? If so, then a two-way sync would be possible, else I think only a one-way sync can be realised reliably, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I'm targeting "every-way" sync actually, if you ad 4 accounts my goal is to sync all 4

That's fuckin dope! Can't wait to get it when its on f-droid

[–] coffeemonster 4 points 10 months ago

This is amazing would love to test once in alpha.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

This is great! Please post when the app would be available.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

This looks awesome! Is there a link?
