Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Not FOSS? Not interested.

Biggest improvement for me is toggling Settings shortcut: View type > Right aligned voting

Gonna try to see if I can use backup/restore layout from my old sync ๐Ÿค”

Would it be possible to utilize the cloud backup/restore feature for previous Ultra users to bring all their settings back? At least for any similar rules?

Testing a link

Brilliant - I love that we can see where a text link actually points. It's one of the things I've liked least about Lemmy apps so far, sometimes you're potentially clicking blind.

Oh, and we still have the choice between inline and expanded, fantastic! Settings shortcut: Link handling > Expanded comment links

Just bought the remove ads version. It is very thrilling to be back to Sync! I'm so used to this look and interface after eleven years with Reddit Sync. Lemmy becomes immediately more familiar and friendly to my eyes. I enjoy Jerboa just fine but I guess I am just an old guy set in my ways and this is how my favorite mobile scrolling app should look and behave. Seems great for a beta and I look forward to further developments!

Feels like home.

This is fantastic, but I'm not going to sign up for a subscription. I would love to support development and get an ad free version like Pro let me. Will this be coming in the future?

My lemmy experience is exponentially better now, great work! thank you!

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

As a first release this is so much more fully featured than anything I expected!! So impressive thanks @ljdawson@lemmy.world.

If you pay for Sync, IMO you should give to the instance which hosts your lemmy account as well as to the Lemmy dev(s) (yes Dessalines is a tankie, but you should separate the artist from the person)

I would love to pay for Sync, alas I don't have Google services on my phone. I know this day will never come, but a non Google pro version would be great (some pro versions I bought without Google play: Folder sync pro, Tasker, Fairemail, KWGT, Poweramp, xprivacy...)

The app is really great

Didn't realize how much I missed the slide to upvote. This is great. I know the whole subscription thing but whatever, I don't want ads and it's a tiny yearly payment. I'm in for the year and let everything work itself out.

Feels great.

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Hi, I have one question - on removing ads, are the ads trackers removed? Or will the app just not show us ads but still allow the trackers in, letting the ad tracker owners keep tabs on our browsing and serve us ads in places other than Sync for Lemmy?

I feel like LJ should seriously reconsider switching the colours on the logo and up- and downvotes in accordance with Lemmy's layout

I haven't seen any ads? Am I missing something?

Is it on f-droid? I don't have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.

We that have supported Sync before should at least get pro version with no ads.

Thank you thank you thank you

Was about to complain that I was hoping for remove ads version instead of premium sub shenanigans, and ljdawson had already pushed an update.

Take my money ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ’ฐ

[-] aircooledJenkins@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Some things never change ๐Ÿ˜‚ (I know this is not sync's problem).

This must be the most upvoted post on Lemmy

This is sooooo nice! Really appreciate all the hard work.

[-] elfahbeht@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

If there was any chance for me to go back to reddit, it's definitely gone now. Awesome app so far!

[-] ChronosWing@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago

I have to admit this is amazing. It's like I never left reddit. Can't believe how fast you put this together.

Oh man the reddit mobile app is awful. Hopefully lemmy takes off because this app is just so good.

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

This is my first action on the app.

I'm already impressed after having logged in and scrolled 2x screens doomscoll style, how the repeating threads aren't coming up.

I'm sold.

Going to wait just a bit longer before signing up for premium, but that will probably happen before next week.
