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

[-] Racle@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago

LFG!

I was wondering why you are "Looking For Group" 😄

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

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 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. :)

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

[-] parrot@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Risk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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 'All@lemmy.world' to use it as normal.

[-] seacocker@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Thunder is likely the closest to sync

Honestly I have mixed results and opinions with both Jerboa and Liftoff... Liftoff, for example, wouldn't even load a GIF that I posted when Jerboa would.

They currently also both randomly crash on me but I think that's most likely related to lemmy.world not being on version 0.18+ yet.

[-] impulse@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Moohamin12@lemmy.world 11 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.

[-] RandallFlagg@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.

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 all you do!

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

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

As so many others have said, their app of choice WAS Reddit, and Sync was Reddit for me. There's some good Lemmy apps out there, but my muscle memory misses Sync!

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...

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!

[-] CannaVet@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I never used a third party app but I'll give this a spin lol.

[-] redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sync for Reddit was top notch. The official client felt like a joke app after using Sync. Hopefully the Lemmy version will be the same.

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!

[-] naitro@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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).

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

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

[-] arefx@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

[-] Downcount@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

We all believe in you, u/ljdawson!

Nothing happens when i press the 'Subscribe' button after writing in my e-mail address. Might be on my side the problem is. Have tried on 2 web browsers on my computer

EDIT: Now i'm subscribed via my smartphone.

Can't wait to buy a lifetime license!

[-] y9uVqBq0@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Nice

[-] roht@lemmy.world 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!

[-] nul9o9@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sync pro user here, I was so bummed hearing it was shutting down. Can't wait for Sync for Lemmy!

[-] Booty@lemmy.world 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.

[-] toiletobserver@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Death to Reddit sync! All hail lemmy sync!

[-] Bengrimm84@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Yaaasssss! This is fantastic news! I will definitely pay again for a Sync Lemmy app!

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Nice, subscribed already!

[-] boot@lemmy.loungerat.io 5 points 1 year ago

Day one buy for me. Subscribed!

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.
