It's open source and I'd like some feedbacks, as you can see I such at designing mobile apps.

Also, if you have any feature recommendations it would be nice to hear about

My idea is to setup a background service that keeps all accounts you want synced using instances APIs

Blocked users and communities, with the option to add to or replace the lists.

Might as well add the capability to block whole instances.

OP isn't making a full client.

Apps don't suck if they work.
If an app looks great and flashy but functionally is garbage, then what's the point.

Give me a plain looking app that works well every time.

Looking forward to grabbing this when it's available.

Some import/export feature would be cool

Sick pls post again when it’s available to download

Exactly what I have been looking for this entire evening, i made a new account on lemm.ee and now I'm looking to sync my old (lemmy.world) and new accounts. I will give it a try and report back here. Thank you for your efforts

Edit: can you post a link please, I couldn't find it in the play store.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I started yesterday and unfortunately it won't finish until next week, I'll post as soon as it goes online

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This will be amazing! Thanks for your efforts

Not a mobile app but I used this script the other day and it worked great for me: https://github.com/bunburya/lemmy2opml

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you for referring, I ended up using https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate to migrate my old account's subs to my new account.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Feels like these can be baked into the apps that people use to browse lemmy 🤔

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

Probably, if that was the case I wouldn't be making this one

If any open source client wants to add this feature, I'd love to help

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

UI/UX designer here. Wouldn't mind spending a couple hours of my free time designing a better interface for you. Would be a fun project.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you, I'd rather do it myself as I'm learning during the process but if you have any advice, I'd love to hear about

The design is like this nowScreenshot_2023-08-15-04-21-53-90_a8368acaa5c2acea3952252470b30f1a

Currently using LASIM, but this looks like an improvement!

I have comments, posts and saved stuff across three accounts.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can I ask about how it works? Will my comments also be visibly duplicated on each instance then?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this is for list data, like subscriptions, blocked users, saved posts etc...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly, it would not be nice to duplicate all comments and posts

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

*user is banned for multi account comment spamming

Yeah it will happen like that if comments are duplicated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Constructive advice about the UI:

The padding on the top feels unnatural as there's lots of open space which isn't common for that area. Maybe add a header that gives instructions and move the content higher, something like "Getting started" with an icon and some text below?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Great, I tried and it feels better already.

Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Very nice, do you have a GitHub where we could follow the project?

This would require both instances to be online at the same time. A hard ask

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not really, since it can re-sync it later on if you just do regular polling

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

It was tongue in cheek

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm thinking about how I'm going to keep it synced and I'll probably keep an offline list of all the communities per instance and update it often, after that, add and remove communities in the other instances

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it possible via the API to get the date/time when a subscription was added? If so, then a two-way sync would be possible, else I think only a one-way sync can be realised reliably, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I'm targeting "every-way" sync actually, if you ad 4 accounts my goal is to sync all 4

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is amazing would love to test once in alpha.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

This is great! Please post when the app would be available.

[–] AnActOfCreation 3 points 2 years ago
