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.
If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.
Cool, that would be ideal for me as its the reddit app I use(d).
This is amazing news! I like Jerboa but I've been using Sync for many years now. It's just so dang good.
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
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!
It was my favorite of the apps I tried. Really clean interface and a good dev.
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!
Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.
Looks like I need a Lemmy account!
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!
Yesssssssss.
Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D
ljdawson said it could be 6-8 weeks for an mvp, you might use a pwa in the meantime
That's awesome to hear! Hope there's a lot of code that doesn't need to be changed.
Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.
LET'S GOOOOOO
@chloyster this would be sick. I prefer Boost for reddit, but this is really awesome too.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
