Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.

What should make the first release?

Ha ha ha! Spez is really pushing it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

Don't tempt me, lol.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

All these points are correct imo

As a European it is an option for me

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Read the update at the bottom. Reddit doesn't seem to want to comply with the requests. I guess you could use a deletion script.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (10 children)

Then they are in breach of GDPR regulations. If they don't comply I could see some serious fines heading their way

I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I'm done with reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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 :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Couldn't agree more!! I'd absolutely love to have sync back!

Oh god, the loss of Sync was legitimately the straw that broke reddit's back for me. I would instantly pay Laurence for this

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

this is the way

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I feel like we need an app that costs and optional subscription but donates a portion to the Lemmy instances that it interacts with. Like a big cash pool that gets distributes based on instance traffic up to a certain amount.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or, what if the app had its own instance in the future? Would help with onboarding new users to lemmy for simplicity (of course with the option to sign up elsewhere in app too).

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd would just like the app to be able to create "Multicommunities" so I can bundle my /c/technology or /c/news communities on different servers in one thread. Yes like multireddits but spread accross the instances :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm confident this will be a future feature.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

really excited for this. for me the death of sync is the death of reddit so sync for lemmy means lemmy is my new home.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

give me relay for lemmy and i'm set

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Lemmy Is Fun gang rise up

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes! This is great news. Used sync pro for years. Top app and developer.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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!
