    I’ve paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I’m so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.

    Thanks for all you do!

      When people see the apps being released for another platform. Ppl will use the platform because of the app.

    Can’t wait. I’m basically off reddit now cause your app doesn’t work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.

    I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active

      Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it’s much smoother than Jerboa.

      Just be mindful of the default ‘All’ view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can’t interact with instances that you aren’t logged on in.

      Instead change it to be ‘All@lemmy.world’ to use it as normal.

        Honestly I have mixed results and opinions with both Jerboa and Liftoff… Liftoff, for example, wouldn’t even load a GIF that I posted when Jerboa would.

        They currently also both randomly crash on me but I think that’s most likely related to lemmy.world not being on version 0.18+ yet.

    Boost4Lemmy already put a placeholder into Google Play store so people can get notified when a first build drops.

    Doing the same with Sync4Lemmy would be a good idea…

    I’ll go wherever Sync goes. It was my favorite mobile client for any social app, regardless of the platform. Lemmy it is!

    Anecdotally, I haven’t logged in to Reddit in more than a month now. It’s refreshing!

      This. Sync was so nice to use that I find myself trying to use all the swipe actions sync had in all of the not so good lemmy apps currently available. None of them are as polished as sync was (and hopefully the lemmy version will be).

        I settled on Thunder for now, but it’s still falling a bit short. Some of the navigation is a bit broken IMHO - e.g. opening an external link and coming back keeps bringing me back out of the post back to the frontpage. But it’s the least annoying I could find. Tried Jerboa, Connect and another one before this one. Really happy to see Sync coming to Lemmy though!

    Signed up for Lemmy just because you’re developing an app for it @ljdawson. Can’t wait.

      “Sync” was the first search term I used in the fediverse!

      We all believe in you, u/ljdawson!

    I was a paid user since the early days. I think Sync has been very generous with its pricing and extra features and would like to see it continue. Wish you the best of luck!

    For those having issues getting the email form to:

      1. Show up at all
      1. Submit once/if it is showing up

    Disable your ad and tracker blockers for syncapps.io.

    iFor me, AdGuard was blocking the form from showing up at all. Then, in Firefox, dev tools showed that the tracker tool was stopping the form from submitting. Once I disabled both things for the site, I was (hopefully) able to get it submitted. I got the “Thanks for signing up” notification on the site, anyway. I’m not sure if I was supposed to receive a confirmation email, so I’m just hopeful it worked.

    What a trip! I was originally sad because I just uninstalled Sync for Reddit today only to join Lemmy and find out my favorite client is coming to Lemmy! Thanks so much!

    Nice. Second (whatever we call subs/channels in lemmy) signed up for.

    Going to go straight for max pro bleeding edge beta demo for life version, rather than wait as long as I did with Sync.

    Looking forward to pop-out subscription nav, floating action buttons, and ultra compact style options, and whatever other QOL improvements you have planned @ljdawson@lemmy.world

      This is the way. The most used app on your phone is worth a dollarbuck or two.
