lol:

I'm genuinely excited though. I've been a long time sync user, and I'd love to see similar features available for Lemmy!

    Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It'll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!

    Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I'd suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.

    How's Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I've never used the former

    Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization

    Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the 'card' approach. Although I'm not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design 'flaws' every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.

    Would love a RIF-like app.

    Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!

    Sync was my preferred app. Will pay money again for a lemmy version

    As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won't opt for a "subscription" based app.

    Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it's unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.

    If- redditisfun was ported to use lemmy- the circle of life would be completed.

    That's my favorite reddit client. I was hoping someone would do a similar client for Lemmy. This is great news, I'd totally buy a paid version of Sync for Lemmy just to support the developer.

    Fantastic news! Sync was my main client of choice. I will be more than happy to toss the dev a few more bucks.

    Very exciting! Jerboa is nice but it's always great to have alternatives.

    In a few months we’ll probably have a dozen Lemmy apps. Sync, Mlem, Memmy (which I’m typing this from), Artemis, and several others I’ve seen posts about are already in development. Excited to see what people create!

    This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.

    Yesssssssss - by far my most used app. would happily pay for another pro version.

    And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i'm sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits...This Elon Effect is stupid to a default

    This is the new community on Lemmy

    Edit of course it's a lemmy.world community. Sorry guys, I'm not on the beehaw instance so I see both.

    Great news. Sync made Reddit usable for me, as I was able to easily filter out keywords and subs that were problematic.

    Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.

    Just using firefox android's Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.

    My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.

  • source
  • [–] 8 points 3 years ago (3 children)

    That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.

    This is amazing news! I like Jerboa but I've been using Sync for many years now. It's just so dang good.
