Amazing news, I'm ready to make the switch to Lemmy/kbin permanent (although it pretty much is and definitely will be after the API changes kick in).
I've used sync for reddit on android for years, absolutely beside myself with excitement
I just discovered it months ago, and it is clearly the best for Android, fuck Reddit, fuck spez and bring it on baby!
Man this news really made my day. Sync for life!
Let's goooooooooooooooo
Would it be closed source?
Good app, but with many trackers, and it wouldn't work without Google services one day (anti piracy measure?).
I'd presume so based on reddit sync (monitization primarly from ads and iap). Apollo's dev at one point made another app (primarly for killing amp links) that was paid and open sourced it, however he had issues with low effort copycats.

The bright side of a closedsource app is in certain cases it can encourage faster development since the dev can work on it part/fulltime (idk how syncs revenue worked).
To be clear the post above is my personal view (I could be completly wrong).
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.
Im not a reddit user, can someone tell me what 'sync' will do?
It's basically a really well polished app to browse the website on Android. It has a lot of features and also very good customization options since it kept adding features over the years.
Having a Lemmy client that good will make it much easier to use on a phone.
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.
Mama we made it
