Never before have I been so excited for a beta app. Thank you Ljdawson!
My only criticism is the subscription fee instead of a one off charge for the full set of features. I would like a lot of them but I don't need cloud sync or another ongoing cost to worry about.
I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.
Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours
Does it just remove the ads visualization or actually disables all related data collection and tracking?
Wow you work fast.
<3 can tell you did some on the backend.. smoother than reddit's client
Loving it, keep up the good work.
That's great to hear!
Excellent, I'm looking forward to this!
He wrote in another thread there will be a lifetime price for us who hates subscriptions. It's coming.
That's good to know. I bought several Reddit apps over my 15 year history with the site, I don't have a problem supporting developers but I absolutely hate the subscription model. It feels like letting a colony of ticks leech off of you when literally EVERYONE is doing it.
It better be coming within the 20th of August, cause that's when my Google rewards balance is expiring.
It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. π
For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I've missed it a lot.
Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.
I know it's early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that's needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.
Hallelujah!
It feels so surreal to be in a newly-budding set of communities with the same UI I fell in love with years ago.
Thank you, LJ!
So happy to have the sync icon back in its spot on my homescreen! Thanks LJ!!
I feel this so much. First had jerboa there and then liftoff. No shade to either of those but having sync back is just so great.
Literally the first thread I reply to on the app.
Feels so good to be back!
Agreed. It's as if I just got back from a long trip. Feels like home.
We are so fucking back
The GDPR consent settings is ludicrous. It reads like fucking spyware and I cannot fathom why, someone please explain!
The vendor settings alone is like 300 different vendors all with their own preselected consent button, ffs!
You are just being made aware of how many vendors your data will be shared with by default.
Just in time. Reddit killed RIF all the way just now
Yeah I just saw that. RIP
I'm making a stand and abandoning reddit like digg
I was on the verge of abandoning reddit before when I could only use RIF to browse logged out, but now that it's gone for good...goodbye, reddit. I wonder if it'll affect things like reddit traffic at all. Time will tell, I suppose.
My first π₯ comment from Sync for Lemmy
Just the thing I've been waiting for. We are so back.
Subscribed for Ultra immediately. ππ
THE WORLD IS HEALING
Never used sync before. Must be a reason people are so excited
It's seem that posting is still not available yet, how did you post this? or am I missing something?
Posting isn't, but commenting is!

This is my first experience using sync, I been a boost user and never used sync for reddit. This is a very promising beta
I just downloaded it and I'm loving it so far. Definitely the best Lemmy client for Android.
Oh... You've unleashed The Flood...
I remember when I had an android phone that Sync was by far my favorite app, glad to see the transition to Lemmy. Fucking awesome.
Impressive, very nice.
Gogogoooooo!
Yeah...this is what I wanted...
Happy to pay the monthly fee to support this
This is my first time using Sync. I bounced around different reddit apps back before the shit hit the fan but never tried Sync. I have to say. Im impressed. It's so much more stable than Jerboa.
"Finally...inner peace."
Commenting from Sync, with paid ultra as basically my 3rd click in the app before all else.
Awesome.. Only need a replay for Lemmy now.π
