Heading to bed but 3142 signups in 7 hours, LFG!

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

LFG!

I was wondering why you are "Looking For Group" ๐Ÿ˜„

Seems like that also goes for "Let's F****ng Go"

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Brilliant, my friend. Thank you for your hard work.

I'm going to throw this link here for you to check out. It's a table comparing Mastodon apps which already has a big ecosystem on the Fediverse. Maybe you can find some inspiration. :)

I've paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I'm so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.

Thanks for y'all you do!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

When people see the apps being released for another platform. Ppl will use the platform because of the app.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm switching to Lemmy because Sync is making the switch

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same. Getting that confirmation a little while made me decide to try lemmy out at all

Can't wait. I'm basically off reddit now cause your app doesn't work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.

Signed up for Lemmy just because you're developing an app for it @ljdawson. Can't wait.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

"Sync" was the first search term I used in the fediverse!

We all believe in you, u/ljdawson!

Boost4Lemmy already put a placeholder into Google Play store so people can get notified when a first build drops.

Doing the same with Sync4Lemmy would be a good idea...

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I saw this and thought the same too. It'll help promote to other users not following all the drama.

I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it's much smoother than Jerboa.

Just be mindful of the default 'All' view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can't interact with instances that you aren't logged on in.

Instead change it to be '[email protected]' to use it as normal.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thunder is likely the closest to sync

I'll go wherever Sync goes. It was my favorite mobile client for any social app, regardless of the platform. Lemmy it is!

Anecdotally, I haven't logged in to Reddit in more than a month now. It's refreshing!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This. Sync was so nice to use that I find myself trying to use all the swipe actions sync had in all of the not so good lemmy apps currently available. None of them are as polished as sync was (and hopefully the lemmy version will be).

Somebody pls find spez's mail and use it to subscribe ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I was a paid user since the early days. I think Sync has been very generous with its pricing and extra features and would like to see it continue. Wish you the best of luck!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm curious how many signups you already got. Your app will skyrocket to the top in seconds once released.

7,001 now that I've seen the sign up.

I just want to mention that your signup submission endpoint syncapps.us14.list-manage.com is being blocked by Firefox's enhanced tracking protection. If anyone having trouble with signup, try temporarily disabling adblocker or tracking protection.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Death to Reddit sync! All hail lemmy sync!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For those having issues getting the email form to:

    1. Show up at all
    1. Submit once/if it is showing up

Disable your ad and tracker blockers for syncapps.io.

iFor me, AdGuard was blocking the form from showing up at all. Then, in Firefox, dev tools showed that the tracker tool was stopping the form from submitting. Once I disabled both things for the site, I was (hopefully) able to get it submitted. I got the "Thanks for signing up" notification on the site, anyway. I'm not sure if I was supposed to receive a confirmation email, so I'm just hopeful it worked.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah! Sync is the reason I joined the fediverse when I heard you're making an app. Been a loyal user of your reddit apps since the beginning, there is no comparison it was the best! Can't wait to see how this project matures. So far, seems to be much better than other social platforms simply because it's decentralized and all the benefits that brings. Things are looking promising and I, for one, don't miss reddit at all!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Let's see where this goes. Most communities I switched over from Reddit to Lemmy are quite small at the moment, but with nice apps I imagine it will only grow.

Test reply from Sync for Lemmy

Test reply sent from Sync for Lemmy!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely buying the pro version the second it's available, Sync WAS reddit for me for the last 11 years.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

What a trip! I was originally sad because I just uninstalled Sync for Reddit today only to join Lemmy and find out my favorite client is coming to Lemmy! Thanks so much!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (8 children)

My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.

In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.

It's really fun to try out all these different apps.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this.

I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.

And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys

Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.

Nice. Second (whatever we call subs/channels in lemmy) signed up for.

Going to go straight for max pro bleeding edge beta demo for life version, rather than wait as long as I did with Sync.

Looking forward to pop-out subscription nav, floating action buttons, and ultra compact style options, and whatever other QOL improvements you have planned @[email protected]
