The sync dev is doing it right by redirecting their users to the next project. Looking forward to sync for Lemmy!

[-] flta@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Hoping the Fediverse can be better synchronized so users can more easily interact between Kbin and Lemmy.

[-] Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

I haven't noticed any problem interacting between the two. Is there something I haven't noticed yet?

[-] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

The instances vary. Some are currently federating better than others, the servers that are currently in higher loads are dropping activity more often and not syncing as well.

[-] Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

Welp, since my earlier comment I've seen lots of syncing issues. lol

[-] OptiMoose@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I only heard about Lemmy cuz of that message.

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 years ago

RIP?, i'm only seeing upgrades

[-] xintrik@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

I see this as an absolute win.

[-] GiddyGap@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

Can't concentrate on anything but the 2% battery left. What kind of animal are you?

[-] LeylaaLovee 11 points 2 years ago

An animal with a broken charging port. Used my OnePlus 6t forever ago, the port doesn't work right and there's no wireless charging

[-] Wergo@vlemmy.net 7 points 2 years ago

I used an ifixit Article to replace my pixel screen a while back, I don't think chargers are too difficult and are relatively inexpensive.

[-] brasileiro@lemmy.eco.br 29 points 2 years ago

friendship ended with Sync for Reddit, now Sync for Lemmy is my best friend

[-] holupwaitaminute@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Used Sync since it came out, will be using it again when it's on lemmy! I appreciate that the Connect interface is pretty similar.

[-] GiddyGap@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Connect is all right. I actually like Liftoff a little better. But I'll go back to Sync when it ready for Lemmy.

[-] LeylaaLovee 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah same here, liftoff is cool, albeit a little confusing for me so far. But Sync had such amazing UI

[-] impossiblepackage 8 points 2 years ago

With my luck, sync for lemmy will be ready about 5 minutes after I get used to the jerboa interface

[-] Dashi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Same here. I love sync but connect has been alright. Have you found a way to hide posts? That is what I'm missing the most at the moment

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nice of them to mention Lemmy. A lot of anti-reddit press doesn't include the alternatives.

[-] fidodo@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 years ago

They're not just mentioning Lemmy they're making a new app for it!

[-] Yaks@lemmy.fmhy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

Looking forward to using the new sync on lemmy. Happy to pay for it again. Can't wait. ☺

[-] AlternActive@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

RiF user. So proud of what everyone is pulling here. Everyone united, no matter the app, for the same goal. A new "home" on the web.

[-] PostalDude@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Its not the web anymore bro. It the Internet. But hopefully we can change that!

[-] AlternActive@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You kids and your funny words. let's meet in the middle: "A new home on this series of tubes"

[-] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What are you talking about? Seriously, I don't understand. Are you trying to make a joke?

If you're serious:

The Web—short for World Wide Web— is the software on top of it all, i.e. the series of networked websites we all enjoy; the Internet is the hardware behind it all, i.e. the series of networked computers and servers behind it all.

It's still the Web, which is still hosted on the Internet. They are not cultural terms that shift with public opinion.

If you're joking:

Well, then I just don't get it and I apologize for my social ineptitude. :P

[-] PostalDude@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, it was a joke, and a bad one at that lol. I'm not THAT dumb, it was a reference to the dead internet post where the writer starts off by saying "the web is dead, long live the internet" saying how the "web" or internet on the early 200's has become so corprotized and whit washed that its more bots then humans at this point.

[-] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ahhhhhhh. Sorry about that. That joke I guess was a bit before my time. I grew up in the 90s and 00s but had a very sheltered childhood. Didn't end up really getting exposed to the Internet proper until about the 10s. :)

Looking forward to sync for lemmy

[-] kalipike@lemmy.one 9 points 2 years ago

I am super excited to have a Sync client for Lemmy. In the meantime the PWA WefWef is pretty dang good.

[-] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

the GOAT is dead, long live the GOAT!

[-] cheesydoritoschips@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

and im here praying for Apollo for lemmy. you lucky android users :(

nuff said mlem and memmy are still some pretty good apps for what they are currently tho (plus they are both inspired by Apollo).

[-] kalipike@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

If you haven't already, check out this PWA that is extremely Apollo-like!

https://WefWef.app/

[-] cheesydoritoschips@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

oooo thanks for showing me that, im currently using memmy as it’s the most apollo-like for me currently but that’s just straight up feels right at home for me tysm

but i kinda want a native app tho. but oh well, most “native” apps these days are just PWAs in an electron powered trench coat so id maybe it wont be as bad as im imagining rn

Former Relay user here, I'm excited for Sync! Liftoff has been interesting as well so far, and I'm trying out some others much like I tried several Reddit apps before settling on Relay. The link/comments divider bar is just such a great idea, I'm surprised none of the more popular apps use it. Hopefully someone makes something similar for Lemmy, or maybe I should make it as a fun personal project.

Does anyone mind elaborating why it is/was called sync and what it's/was used for? Did it sync with anything or is it just another app like Apollo and RIF?

[-] cocobean@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

It originally had a "sync" feature that would download your frontpage and all the comments (and/or other chosen subreddits as well I think) for offline browsing. It was very useful when I used to commute via bus and had a very spotty internet connection.

[-] ShaggyDemiurge 3 points 2 years ago

Huh, it's an interesting piece of history. Was this feature deprecated, or did I just never found it/forgot about it?

I used it on plane flights

[-] StaticKhaos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Just joined Lemmy. Great to see Sync for Lemmy is coming soon!

[-] Feliberto@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

I used Sync for years, it's sad to see it go. There's no way I'm going back to Reddit's official app.

[-] MerliSYD@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

Will my Sync Pro for Reddit licence carry over to Sync Pro for Lemmy?

If not, that's fine, but I'll wait it out to see which developer crrates the best front end before giving them my money.

[-] CobraChicken@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

These apps cost pocket change considering how expensive life is right now. I can't think of anything else where I get so much value out of so little.

We have to be willing to pay out of pocket to support a competition if we're not happy with the way reddit is making money.

Even if pro subscription carries over I'm still buying it again. Sync was the best android client!

[-] MerliSYD@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I don't disagree at all 😁👍

[-] figaro@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Sync was the first reddit app I used. I eventually went to slide, but I love sync! I'll probably use it when it comes out.

[-] Cannabisms@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Long time sync pro user, theres a work around with revanced manager but eh. So far Infinity is still working though

[-] Jcb2016@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Kbin is the step-child, i'm assuming all the devs are seeing the growth in lemmy and haven't really noticed kbin!

[-] Coelacanth@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Kbin doesn't have an API and so it's probably less straightforward to dev for. Plus Lemmy is older and more established. I believe ljdawson said in a comment somewhere that he'll work on Kbin integration somewhere down the line. I think that's the way it will go for most of the apps.
