Best news all day!
That's awesome to hear! Hope there's a lot of code that doesn't need to be changed.
Dream come true right there. I used sync since 2012? 2013? A long damned time anyways, and I'd love to continue.
Same, I switched between Relay and Sync a couple times in the early days, but I stuck with Sync (pro and then dev) for the long haul. Without that, there would have been no Reddit for me, which is why I'm here now and thrilled by this news.
I think Christian mentioned he isn't planning to port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!
I didn’t know that, he say why?
He mentioned it in his "Apollo will close down on June 30th" post on /r/ApolloApp (I'm linking it here, but here's the quote so you don't have to gift Reddit your traffic):
Will you build a competitor? Move to one of the existing alternatives?
I've received so many messages of kind people offering to work with me to build a competitor to Reddit, and while I'm very flattered, that's not something I'm interested in doing. I'm a product guy, I like building fun apps for people to use, and I'm just not personally interested in something more managerial.
These last several months have also been incredibly exhausting and mentally draining, I don't have it in me to engage in something so enormous.

Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like (which is being discussed) api this app would be entirely compatible as well!
Looking forward for it!
It is good, if only because it means the Lemmy developers can focus on back end development.
I think the team that works on the Lemmy Android app (Jerboa) is a separate team to the team that works on the Lemmy backend.
Holy Cow, thats some freaking great news!
Nice :D
Thank goodness, sync was the app that worked the best for me! Awesome to see more apps coming out already
Will there be a version of the app for iOS?
Awesome! Really looking forward to this :)
And here I am, sitting and hoping someone with coding skills will make a Slide for Lemmy.
