lol:
I'm genuinely excited though. I've been a long time sync user, and I'd love to see similar features available for Lemmy!

Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It'll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!
That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁

Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?

I think it’s only a matter of time. I hope Lemmy/fediverse keeps up the momentum, it’s so great being off Reddit.

Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I'd suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.
Seems like a consequence of beehaw's actions
it may seem that way, but that's not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn't provide any tools for less severe action.
You're describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.
I don't agree. I think it's disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted. it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don't like - if that's not your intent, then what is ?

Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!
Very exciting! Jerboa is nice but it's always great to have alternatives.
Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed

As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won't opt for a "subscription" based app.

How's Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I've never used the former
Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization
Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the 'card' approach. Although I'm not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design 'flaws' every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.
Would love a RIF-like app.
Sync was very big on customizability, so it did have the options to make your view incredibly compact as well. By default, it was always set to follow very closely with Google's design language, but you could get something very similar to the density of RIF as well.

If- redditisfun was ported to use lemmy- the circle of life would be completed.

Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it's unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.
What a fucking shit show.
That's my favorite reddit client. I was hoping someone would do a similar client for Lemmy. This is great news, I'd totally buy a paid version of Sync for Lemmy just to support the developer.
Fantastic news! Sync was my main client of choice. I will be more than happy to toss the dev a few more bucks.

this has been my reddit app for over a decade!!! this just made my entire day!!
In a few months we’ll probably have a dozen Lemmy apps. Sync, Mlem, Memmy (which I’m typing this from), Artemis, and several others I’ve seen posts about are already in development. Excited to see what people create!

And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i'm sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits...This Elon Effect is stupid to a default
Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.
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.

Cool, that would be ideal for me as its the reddit app I use(d).
Great news. Sync made Reddit usable for me, as I was able to easily filter out keywords and subs that were problematic.
~~https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy or search !syncforlemmy@lemmy.ml in your instance.~~
Edit: Official community modded by Ljdawson himself is: !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Just using firefox android's Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.
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!

I think Christian mentioned he isn't planning to port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!
