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

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!
I used it just some months ago and discovered the best thing ever, care to explain the drama?
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 was after everyone was used to how it was. People get upset for no good reason sometimes and this was one of those reasons.

Sync and Boost were my favorite Android Reddit clients. I always preferred Apollo and being back on iOS, but they are great in their own right. But I paid for premium for both Sync and Boost for a reason. They were so feature complete and were the closest thing I could get to Apollo on Android.
I agree. I hope Boost follows as well. it's been my most used app for years.
Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.
Lmao what? They can't even stick to their deadline and need to expedite the inconvenience?
I'm guessing it's because it contains the word Lemmy.
You're probably right but big boy like Reddit should handle a little competitor talk in its platform.
I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I'm done with reddit.
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 :)
Couldn't agree more!! I'd absolutely love to have sync back!

Is this going to work for Kbin or do I need a lemmy account?
+1 to this, would rather the app supports logging into a fediverse server instead of just lemmy
Lemmy, kbin, Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Friendica... They all use different APIs, and those APIs need to be supported separately by developers if they want their app to be compatible with all of them.
ernest is talking about changing the kbin API to be more in line with lemmy's, which would allow apps made for lemmy to also work with kbin, but they wouldn't, for instance, work with (or possibly even know about) kbin's microblogging feature.

This is very unexpected but I'm so ready to show support! I'll be financially donating and supporting! ljdawson, it at your own pace and I'll be happy with anything you can bring to the community! I was so pleased with Sync for Reddit every step of the way.

Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!
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.
Huzzah! I had only just voted earlier today in the sync subreddit for a lemmy app and already @[email protected] is on the case. You rock dude!
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!
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.
Oh god, the loss of Sync was legitimately the straw that broke reddit's back for me. I would instantly pay Laurence for this

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.

I used Sync for years before I moved to iPhone. I would love to get back into Sync, I'm all for this!
Now I just need RIF for lemmy. Multiple fediverse accounts ie lemmy and kbin on one feed?

Fantastic news, really happy to see this happening!
Let's goooooooooooooooo
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.
Thanks for making the fediverse such an amazing community, everyone. We may have a long way to go before social media without billionaire control is ubiquitous, but Iβm confident that this is the right way and itβs just a matter of time before most people realize that.
