@chloyster this would be sick. I prefer Boost for reddit, but this is really awesome too.

Cool, that would be ideal for me as its the reddit app I use(d).
I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.
Looks like I need a Lemmy account!
A kbin API is in the works, if we manage to make it compatible with lemmy this app would be usable for kbin as well.

I haven't been able to subscribe to any community hosted by lemmy.ml for quite awhile. When I click subscribe it just says subscription pending. I figured it was because of their server load at first, but since it's still happening I'm not so sure. Anybody else having this issue?

If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.
Dream come true right there. I used sync since 2012? 2013? A long damned time anyways, and I'd love to continue.

ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one... as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this "Sync for Reddit" was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).
im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys
Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don't think it's shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it

Good? The best one. I started to use Sync in 2013, there was no official app, only a couple of 3rd party ones. I tried them all a couple of days and Sync was vastly superior. I bought it and used it almost 10 years!

Yesssssssss.
Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D

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.

Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!
awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.
When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn't even close for second place. But I'm iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!
It is good, if only because it means the Lemmy developers can focus on back end development.

Looking forward for it!
LET'S GOOOOOO
Best news all day!
When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!
Ah great, i was almost giving up on such a thing happening (the other devs doing great work tho of course)
