Afternoon all,

Sync for Lemmy (Android) is now available for pre-registration on Google Play.

I'm currently working with 100 internal testers to add the final parts / resolve any issues and should be ready to go live within the next week.

I'll be emailing everyone that signed up with the previous form today too.

Cheers,

Lj

    Considering the API/experience is quite different (with its own nuances) in the fediverse, the idea to create an app from scratch was a good idea. Copying and pasting UI code and framework from Sync aside. Especially when the platform is being improved to handle some meaningful load/traffic right now and is clearly needing further development - he's got time. We are already week 4 of a 3-6 week estimate, and he's teasing us with some very nice screenshots already. Reddit gave very short notice of the API changes, and they then carried them out. Ultimate subscribers leaving in droves, sadly. Even with the choice he was just making about usernames, it's clear to me that he's been putting a lot of attention to detail in the first appearance of Sync for Lemmy. Everything is important when it comes to being a class leader, there is nothing more important than setting the example that others follow or copy. When other developers come into your Lemmy community and try to snipe users so blatently as what has happened - is it any wonder he's wanting perfection!

    It's about sending a message. He's clearly wanting to show these other android developer noobs how it's done.

    I remember vividly the day I got a Nintendo 64 when I was a kid. I also had pizza that day.

    It was a good day.

    Oh yes, I remember, Christmas of 1998, my dad got it for me and my brother, had it with Body Harvest and F1 World Grand Prix, my Dad is an F1 fan, so got an absolutely awful V3 racing wheel to go with it. During covid, I got back into racing games, and went a little mental.

    Hi, something you might want to check before releasing; several current Lemmy apps are having trouble displaying lists of very large images. Either they try to load them all in one go, instead of going for the thumbnail as a preview (causing the app to crash), or they only get the preview and then don't show the full size when opening.

    Example:

    !RimWorldPorn@rimworld.gallery

    Before you forget:

    Set Play Store to automatically install the app when it becomes available

    I'm very happy to see this. Registered with auto install asap. I was a pro, Dev, and ultra lifetime user. Looking forward to supporting the new endeavor.

    I was a RIF user. Will I like Sync?

    I think so, I like sync because of its massive customisation potential, and it also offered some quick template like way to change them, so it was never overwhelming. You can make sync the way you like it, and I've been following the dev for a while as well. Truly passionate fellow.

    Using Voyager and the devs have been more than awesome. I don't encounter any bugs on Android. Still gonna throw my money at Sync when it arrives though. Sync was the only reason I even used reddit. A bit wierd but before I stumbled on the Sync I couldn't even stand reddit. I was a Sync user, not a reddit user.

    Wow! Congratulations! It's really weird - I feel like going back to reddit, because it looks and feels exactly like when I used Reddit back when it was awesome to do - through sync... But it's not reddit. Kinda tells me how much of my "Reddit experience" was actually not Reddit, but sync.
