Looks like it will take some time to figure it out, but the developer ljdawson is looking into Lemmy support for sync.
This app is so smooth, and caching posts and comments for offline use while on the plane or in low reception areas is a clutch feature for me.
You must log in or register to comment.
This is great news, I’ve used sync for so many years
Jerboa has been great (especially for being an alpha build) but sync has so many comfort features
Normal Sync is okay but Sync Pro is really really good. I’ve been using it nearly 5 years until this api fiasco. This is so exciting.
Cool! I don’t know much about sync but, I’d definitely try this out.
Sync is one of the oldest 3rd party Reddit apps. So this is really good for Lemmy.
Amazing, I paid for Pro, was very bummed out that I won’t be able to use such a good app, which Sync is. I reckon this will speed up adoption of lemmy.
Pretty excited. I paid for Sync Pro and used it for awhile. I eventually switched to Boost, but will support any app development over here
Woohoo!
Will it work for us kbin folks,or will we need to make a lemmy account on one of the instances?
He’s just learning about Lemmy and the fediverse today so I imagine in the alpha version it won’t but things could change later.
If he’s learning about Lemmy and kbin together than it would seem that implementing both would be higher probability
Kbin is very new, and the api is not very documented, so I imagine it’d be pretty hard to make an app for kbin for now.
It’s a third party Reddit app for Android. One of the many that are getting killed off by the API changes. A lot of people liked it because it has a much better UI than the official Reddit app and I’m sure plenty of people will love getting to bring the same experience over to Lemmy now.
I’m admittedly jealous. I’d love if Apollo pivoted to Lemmy as well but I don’t blame Christian at all for taking a step away from things after becoming the face of the 3PA developers in this entire debacle. Hopefully at least one of the several iOS Lemmy apps currently in-development can provide something familiar.
Oh great, thank you.
I don’t know why, but with the amount of craze sync for lemmy was generating, I couldn’t wrap my head around it just being one of the third party apps. Im really happy for all the Sync users that get to move here and keep their preferred app, but you would think there was a pizza giveaway or something with the amount of posts there are about it.The loss of third-party apps is the reason most of us are here. Makes sense that people are a bit excited that one of the favorites is following us here too haha.
You’re right that is weird. I think most sync users including me find it to be far superior any Reddit experience, better than RES, and all the other apps or web interfaces.
I couldn’t stand Reddit in any other form after trying sync.
One thing I’m really missing is that once I’ve read a post, it can be hidden in sync so I’m only seeing new content. I’m having to re-read so many posts in Lemmy right now and just want to move on to new things!
Fantastic! Used Sync for quite awhile and it’s a great app. Had some bumps in development here and there, but who doesn’t and they overcame them.
Very cool. This will also increase viewership for Lemmy.
Does anyone know about the ios Sync app? It never seemed to get out of TestFlight. I’m assuming it was a different developer who got permission to reuse assets?
From what I remember it that is true, he let another developer give it a shot since he had no interest/experience in IOS development. Maybe he’ll do it again and a more dedicated developer will be able to complete the port this time.
OK, getting back to the original post and its image, what the hell is Sync? How is Sync Pro different?
It’s a third party Reddit app. My personal favourite so it’s great news.
Sync Pro is just Sync without ads, it only charged a small one-time fee. This info could be out of date as I paid for Sync Pro around ten years ago I think.
