Sync is soooo aesthetically pleasing. (I'm a sucker for full MaterialYou implementation) I'd love it if I could continue using it on Lemmy, and would happily pay a second time.

Imagine the smoothness of Sync for Reddit while surfing through the Fediverse.... Not my proudest bonner.
the backend for lemmy would have to get a lot more reliable, but i get you
In some ways Lemmy can be slow, but for me some actions have been a lot faster here than on Reddit.
Material design is one of the main things I think about when looking for an app
Absolutely! I've used it for a very long time and I'll happily pay again.
I'm stoked as hell, Sync was my reddit app of choice. I bought Pro, Dev, and Ultra throughout the years, just to support Lawrence.
Does Sync have a Lemmy presence? I can't check the subreddit since I don't have the reddit app. 😑
Check current update to the above post.
Great to see another app for this part of fediverse.
A humble request, great to see people willing to buy the app to support the developer. The request is to direct a similar support to the developers of lemmy. Every dollar counts.
No shade to anyone who can't donate, those who can please consider this request.
And the author of Boost, my reddit app of choice, appears to be considering too :D
Sadly, rmayayo has said that he will not be working on a boost app for lemmy:
oh, rip :(
Oh man, if he makes boost for lemmy it will really complete the package for me.
Man this truly made my day. Let's goooooo!
Jerboa is pretty dog crap, so having Sync or Apollo switch to supporting Lemmy, Tildes, Kbin, etc would be great.
Disagree, Jerboa is actually pretty damn good. Some QOL updates are needed sure, but over all it's good.

I bought sync for reddit, best money I have ever spent.
I will also buy sync for lemmy
Sync was my weapon of choice for Reddit. I will be so happy if ljdawson develops it for Lemmy!
Yesssss let's make it happen! Pro version will be a day one purchase once it is available.
~~Fledgling community over at https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy too although it's not official.~~
Edit: [email protected] official one modded by ljdawsom himself.
I believe the "official" community is at https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
This the one issue I have with Lemmy, which one is the right one?
In my view this is hardly different than someone making r/LemmySyncApp when the official is r/SyncForLemmy. You just have to check both and see who the mods are and whether they have official looking pinned posts. There's no silver bullet - it ties into the larger digital identity and authenticity problems that people have been trying to solve for online identities since forever.
That makes sense, thank you.
Just in time for my morning nut
To much information, dude!
Exactly, we did not need to know it is the morning.
Sync is a great app and will be great for Lemmy.
The more the merrier, but I'll only use open source apps on my device.
RIP my front page
LETSGOOOOO DABABYYYYYY. This would be an absolute blast, since I have several problems with the official lemmy app.
This is so awesome
Hope it can also support kbin.
I would expect it to go similar to how many mastodon-related projects have somewhat mastodon compatible APIs and some apps can handle basic functionality across several platforms. It's probably for the best to still make small modules for each one to handle differences but it seems very feasible. Or as others have suggested someone can make a library that implements both and provides a stable interface for app devs wanting to support both easily.
Please please please!
Me too. I actually have accounts on both but I prefer Kbin.
That is absolutely fantastic news!
