This will really legitimize and mainstream the platform!

I am a Boost for Reddit User, but have seen Sync and it is well designed. Jerboa is cool but it is not there yet. The experience the dev from Sync brings to Lemmy will be amazing.

Not asking for features but would be good if kbin is included with it so that user fragmentation is limited. I still don't really understand the difference with Lemmy but it's cool.

Awesome news. Long live lemmy

[–] _spiffy 10 points 2 years ago

This is exciting. I loved sync for reddit and I look forward to more app options. Jerboa is good, but competition is better.

[–] Odo 10 points 2 years ago

My favorite Reddit app for several years now. Great news.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I really hope alpha or beta is available soon because the current apps are really lackluster sadly...

[–] houaiss 9 points 2 years ago

that's great! Althout I already am enjoying Jerboa, is good to know that we will have more alternatives

I will purchase Sync Pro for lemmy when it comes out.

It's been an outstanding app for me on the old site, and I look forward to firing it up again in a much better online environment.

[–] xaxl 9 points 2 years ago

Sync is going to be so good omg.

[–] njinx 9 points 2 years ago

Was on Sync for 6 years before the API changes. Thought it was gone for good and am glad that's not the case.

[–] TacoDD 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Quite ironic it's a subreddit though

[–] Chocrates 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah I thought that was kinda funny, but OOP's users are Reddit users so I guess it makes sense. Once they have the MVP out probably it should move to a Lemmy community

This is great news. Sync was my favorite Android reddit app. It was the closest to Apollo I could find when I switched from iOS. Hopefully, this app will be as good or better than Sync for reddit.

[–] korny 8 points 2 years ago

I have been struggling with the thought of removing Sync from my phone, purchased premium 9 years ago and it was easily my most used app. So happy ljdawson decided to move the app here, I would pay for premium in a heartbeat on the new app.

I will buy it again, such a great implementation.

guessing this is going to be an Android app and there won't be an iOS variant? regardless, happy to know there's an app coming sooner than later and look forward to being able to easily browse Lemmy on my phone again.

Does the playstore allow developers to make a page for an app not yet developed? Would be cool when reddit shuts down 3rd party apps to have the sync for reddit app send you to a sign up page for sync for lemmy.

I would love a Sync for Lemmy!

[–] TONKAHANAH 7 points 2 years ago

nice. I've personally been more of a Boost user my self so was a bit disappointed to hear the dev was not planning to port or support lemmy which I understand. so far jerboa has been decent but I'll keep an eye out for others.

[–] MrNemobody 6 points 2 years ago

Great! We can all move to Lemmy and leave Reddit for Spez.

sweet, would love for it to come to iOS as well at some point

[–] Tag365 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What is "Sync?" I've never heard of it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It's literally THE best reddit app. If you have an Android, give it a shot before they nuke it. Blows Apollo straight out of the water, it's like miles ahead.
