lol:
I'm genuinely excited though. I've been a long time sync user, and I'd love to see similar features available for Lemmy!
like if the app is serving different content than the browser....
Holy shit, what a dumpster fire
But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.
Just WOW! I'm using SyncPro for 9+ years, I'll support this app for sure!!!
Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It'll come, in time.
That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁
I think it’s only a matter of time. I hope Lemmy/fediverse keeps up the momentum, it’s so great being off Reddit.
Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!
Very exciting! Jerboa is nice but it's always great to have alternatives.
Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I'd suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.
Seems like a consequence of beehaw's actions
it may seem that way, but that's not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn't provide any tools for less severe action.
Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed

How's Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I've never used the former
Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization
Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the 'card' approach. Although I'm not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design 'flaws' every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.
Would love a RIF-like app.
Sync was very big on customizability, so it did have the options to make your view incredibly compact as well. By default, it was always set to follow very closely with Google's design language, but you could get something very similar to the density of RIF as well.
If- redditisfun was ported to use lemmy- the circle of life would be completed.
The circle of lif.
That's my favorite reddit client. I was hoping someone would do a similar client for Lemmy. This is great news, I'd totally buy a paid version of Sync for Lemmy just to support the developer.
As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won't opt for a "subscription" based app.
Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it's unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.
https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy or search !syncforlemmy@lemmy.ml in your instance.
Fantastic news! Sync was my main client of choice. I will be more than happy to toss the dev a few more bucks.
Cool, that would be ideal for me as its the reddit app I use(d).
Yesssssssss - by far my most used app. would happily pay for another pro version.
And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i'm sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits...This Elon Effect is stupid to a default
Awesome news, hopefully rif will follow suit
This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.
Great news. Sync made Reddit usable for me, as I was able to easily filter out keywords and subs that were problematic.
In a few months we’ll probably have a dozen Lemmy apps. Sync, Mlem, Memmy (which I’m typing this from), Artemis, and several others I’ve seen posts about are already in development. Excited to see what people create!
My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.
Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.
Thank goodness, sync was the app that worked the best for me! Awesome to see more apps coming out already
Really hope Relay does the same
awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
