Morning all, Just a quick update to say I’m making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!

    This is great news. I have signed up!

    I must say, despite of how awesome Sync for Reddit was, I think we should all try not to go overboard with our expectations of what the first version of Sync for Lemmy will be. This is testing ground for all developers and expecting the same level of polishment that an app had on its 22nd version might be detrimental to the actual experience.

    We know what ljdawson is capable of, so let’s support him, let’s enjoy his work (I am sure Sync for Lemmy v1.0 will still be awesome), but let’s also give him time to refine his product on a new platform. I don’t know what is involved in the development of this new app, but I do see some points where all other Lemmy apps are struggling, so I can only assume this enterprise presents some new challenges. It is only fair to give him some room for growth and not expect absolute greatness from scratch.

      I’ll bet Laurence is stoked to read: “It’s been 47 minutes since the last update. Is Sync for Lemmy abandoned?” once things are underway

    Fuck yeah! I was so sad to uninstall Sync, can’t wait to have the same experience but for Lemmy! Thanks for your work, I’ll gladly pay for pro again

    As someone who bought Sync for Reddit (Pro) back in 2012, I just wanted to express my thanks for all your hard work over the years. It’s one absolutely stellar app, and you can count on a day one purchase for Sync for Lemmy from me.

    I’ll be there on day one. Deleted Sync two days ago and need to fill that gap in my app list.

        Same :((( though not because of reddit, I’ve been looking to leave reddit for 4 years. Sync was a special app though.

        It was hard. But I am finding a lot of the same communities here on Lemmy. And sync will be coming here soon enough.

      I replaced it with Jerboa shortly after the the AMA. Jerboa has been great so far, but I’ll happily switch back to Sync for Lemmy.

    Yes!! Sync was how I browsed Reddit 95%+ of the time and I have no desire to use the official reddit app. Stoked that sync for lemmy is confirmed!

    I’ve been using Sync for many years, and I’ll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process… I’ve read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but… if it takes time, I’ll wait, no worries. Or I’ll create another account somewhere else… I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that’s something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I’ll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.

    Can we have this one supported on non-Google Android?

    I was stuck on Sync 19 because of this
