New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/[email protected] as the community for the new project.

You'd need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.

awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.

I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.

ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one... as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this "Sync for Reddit" was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).

im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys

It was the best. I have tried most reddit apps but that one could be customized exactly how I wanted and it was great. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don't think it's shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it

Good? The best one. I started to use Sync in 2013, there was no official app, only a couple of 3rd party ones. I tried them all a couple of days and Sync was vastly superior. I bought it and used it almost 10 years!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It was my favorite of the apps I tried. Really clean interface and a good dev.

Yesssssssss.

Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D

When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn't even close for second place. But I'm iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Looks like I need a Lemmy account!

Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.

Ah great, i was almost giving up on such a thing happening (the other devs doing great work tho of course)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

@chloyster this would be sick. I prefer Boost for reddit, but this is really awesome too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thank god. Sync is the app I was using before this entire shitshow.
