I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.
Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.
This is amazing news! I like Jerboa but I've been using Sync for many years now. It's just so dang good.
Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.
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! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.
That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.
ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one... as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this "Sync for Reddit" was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).
im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys
Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don't think it's shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it
Good? The best one. I started to use Sync in 2013, there was no official app, only a couple of 3rd party ones. I tried them all a couple of days and Sync was vastly superior. I bought it and used it almost 10 years!
It was my favorite app for a number of years. Pretty easy to use out of the box, but it came with an overwhelming number of things you could customize so you could have precisely the reddit experience you wanted. Pricing was fair at US$1.06/mo for the paid version. I can't recall ever running into any bugs in the time I used it.
I'd say it's worth keeping an eye on.
Dream come true right there. I used sync since 2012? 2013? A long damned time anyways, and I'd love to continue.
Same, I switched between Relay and Sync a couple times in the early days, but I stuck with Sync (pro and then dev) for the long haul. Without that, there would have been no Reddit for me, which is why I'm here now and thrilled by this news.
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like (which is being discussed) api this app would be entirely compatible as well!
Will there be a version of the app for iOS?
Thank god. Sync is the app I was using before this entire shitshow.
Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.
When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn't even close for second place. But I'm iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!
When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!
LET'S GOOOOOO
