New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community
Just WOW! I’m using SyncPro for 9+ years, I’ll support this app for sure!!!
Same! Although probably not as long. But Sync was consistently my go to even after trying other android apps.
Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It’ll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!
That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁
Thank you for working on this! I love Mlem and am excited to see how it develops.
I’m using the app now, and it has seen some real improvements.
Are you guys taking feedback seriously? I don’t want to dump it in a circular bin.
Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?
Likely at first, but Sync for Reddit has a TestFlight for an iOS Version. I suspect that effort could be carried over if the porting process isn’t too arduous.
Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed

With the only two options being

Yup. Same here.
Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I’d suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.
Yes this is the better link to not provide traffic to reddit.
Sync was my preferred app. Will pay money again for a lemmy version
Agreed, and it will be well worth it.
How’s Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I’ve never used the former
Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization
Jerboa in List mode looks like Sync
As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won’t opt for a “subscription” based app.
100%. The few bucks I spent on Sync Pro were some of the best dollars I’ve spent.
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
this has been my reddit app for over a decade!!! this just made my entire day!!
That’s incredible news, I’ve always used Sync
I switched away from Sync to Boost some years ago, but would happily switch back for a Fediverse app. Jerboa is okay, but it doesn’t have the slick look I’ve come to expect from reddit apps like Sync and Boost.
Jerboa also doesn’t have volume button comment navigation, which was one of my favorite features
I know Christian mentioned he wouldn’t port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven’t given up hope just yet!
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.
Awesome! Really looking forward to this :)
That’s awesome to hear! Hope there’s a lot of code that doesn’t need to be changed.
I’ve never used Sync but I just installed it and it’s pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.
