Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.

What should make the first release?

Ha ha ha! Spez is really pushing it.

[-] LillianVS@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit... I have learned the following:

  • They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.

  • They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.

  • They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request... That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

[-] phil299@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

All these points are correct imo

Don't tempt me, lol.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That’s how I left Twitter. GDPR request for a full copy of all my content. Then a GDPR request to delete account.

I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I'm done with reddit.

[-] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Sync was Reddit for me.

Reddit dies in my mind when Reddit Sync is no more (I'm gonna patch it with revanced)

If Sync lives on in Lemmy, that's gosh dang amazing

Jerboa is cool and all, but it's no Sync :)

Great news! Jerboa is fine for now but it definitely doesn't feel as polished or user-friendly. I'm looking forward to having some more options. I'm following the Artemis development already but I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure.

[-] sunaurus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome news! I used to use Sync daily back when I was on Android, very happy to hear that the users will have some place to go.

[-] CletusVanDamme@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Let's be patient with this and not give him a hard time. For those of you who haven't used Sync before, there was a major update a while back which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus. Please be patient and kind and the result will be worth it!

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus.

This is why we can't have nice things.

[-] livingina@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It was so sad because you could tell he put so much work into it. But like a good dev he listened to feedback and ended up allowing it to be customized to how I liked it originally.

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

I used it just some months ago and discovered the best thing ever, care to explain the drama?

[-] Master@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It had to do with how the cards were presented and how the quick menu and swipe up/down worked. I preferred the previous way but the new way worked just fine. Just took an extra click to use it how I wanted.

It came down to changing how it looked / worked after everyone was already used to how it currently was. People get upset for no good reason sometimes and this was one of those times.

[-] YellowGas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah we need to leave that in the past and not repeat a fiasco like that. The community could have handled that much better. I'm just thankful for the support from lj.

[-] ben914@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Would definitely be interested in Sync for Lemmy! I've been switching back and forth from Lemmy's web UI, and the Jerboa app. I like Jerboa, but it has been a bit buggy and in some ways isn't as good as the web UI, and I think the developer of Jerboa is too busy with improving the Lemmy API to focus on Jerboa.

I used Sync for Reddit for a long time, and really liked it. I did eventually move on to Boost for Reddit, but now that I'm moving away from Reddit in general. I'd like to see more options for Lemmy apps.

[-] snakesnakewhale@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Oh god, the loss of Sync was legitimately the straw that broke reddit's back for me. I would instantly pay Laurence for this

[-] phil299@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

this is the way

[-] kommanditbolag@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.

[-] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Lmao what? They can't even stick to their deadline and need to expedite the inconvenience?

[-] kommanditbolag@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing it's because it contains the word Lemmy.

[-] CrypticFawn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Woo! I may actually spend more time on the Fediverse. I was a RiF user, but I'll happily pay for Sync and spend more time here too.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t wait for good Lemmy apps. The web experience has left a lot to be desired. The main feed doesn’t even have side-scrolling turned off. You try to scroll down on your phone and wind up pulling the page sideways.

[-] dreamfall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!

[-] RacerRohiero@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes! This is great news. Used sync pro for years. Top app and developer.

[-] 5redie8@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I've used sync for reddit on android for years, absolutely beside myself with excitement

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

I just discovered it months ago, and it is clearly the best for Android, fuck Reddit, fuck spez and bring it on baby!

[-] Rogue_General@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Huzzah! I had only just voted earlier today in the sync subreddit for a lemmy app and already @ljdawson@lemmy.world is on the case. You rock dude!

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

Just hooked up messaging and username mentions.

Cheers!

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

Wow. Didn't expect this at all. It's definitely one of my fav Android apps, never mind Reddit Apps. The quality of the Sync app is next level and the level of options it had to tweak the layout and style to suit what you wanted was amazing. Really excited for this!

[-] WheelcharArtist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

give me relay for lemmy and i'm set

[-] spec@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing news, I'm ready to make the switch to Lemmy/kbin permanent (although it pretty much is and definitely will be after the API changes kick in).
