Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.

I'll be posting updates on discord:

I saw it in the redditsync subreddit already - this is such great news, especially since I'm still struggling to get used to the Lemmy interface. I had bought Sync Pro 7 years ago and it is probably the most heavily used app on my phone.

The whole fediverse needs some serious UX work.

Wow, I've never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it's one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I'm currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get "ported" to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.

The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!

As a long time Sync user this made my day!

Yep, i'm permanently on Lemmy with this news.

This is genuinely exciting news.

i will follow the sync app to the ends of the earth

It's exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.

I'm genuinely so excited for this and and the same time hoping boost makes one too. They recently dropped their latest update and it looks beyond pretty with the rounded edge cards and adaptive colours.

As a Sync user since 2017, this is amazing news!

I will pick this up day 1! Been using sync for years and have always come back to it.

I already bought Sync for Reddit twice. Removing ads from the free version the first time (it was still called Reddit Sync back then) and then again for the 'ad code not even included' pro version earlier this year. Guess I'll be buying Sync a third time.

Or more specifically, Google will be buying it for me with the cash they paid for my data.

As a iOS user I really hope Apollo will follow!

I moved to Sync when alien blue was bought by reddit, this is such exciting news!! Woo!

this is amazing!! sync for reddit is such a gorgeous app i was sad to leave it behind

This is HUGE! I was really missing Sync.

Great. I hope other devs will follow (dbrady if you're reading this). I hope he ditches reddit's forced naming scheme. Lemmy Sync.

So many good news. Glad these developers are also trying out other options since Reddit has started shitting itself.

Now THIS is good news!

Just created an account then downloaded Jerboa. I am +/- ten minutes old here in Fediverse yet. About to delete my 11 year-old account in Reddit. Thank you u/spez

This has made my day! Sync for Reddit is amazing.

As a recent lemmy convert from reddit who exclusively used Sync, this made my day. Thanks for the news.

I will pay full price, day one

Does the playstore allow developers to make a page for an app not yet developed? Would be cool when reddit shuts down 3rd party apps to have the sync for reddit app send you to a sign up page for sync for lemmy.

Well, now I want RIF too, completion is good!

In all seriousness this is good to see.

noice

Awesome news! I have been a Sync user for the past literally 10 years

Great news! I hope the developers of Relay and Apollo do the same. The more options the better!

H I S T O R I C

That's why I came here today! Like a Phoenix rising from Sync for Reddit's ashes Sync for Lemmy will be born! Nice to see you all my fellow converts. Today is my new cake day!

This is great news. If you aren't familiar the dev is very committed, hard working and responsive. Sync was packed with features and customization.

My favorite Reddit app for several years now. Great news.
