New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.

[–] Arctic@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.

Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!

Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.

[–] erre@feddit.win 7 points 1 year ago

My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.

Really hope Relay does the same

It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world as the community for the new project.

You'd need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.

Dream come true right there. I used sync since 2012? 2013? A long damned time anyways, and I'd love to continue.

[–] snoopfrog@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Same, I switched between Relay and Sync a couple times in the early days, but I stuck with Sync (pro and then dev) for the long haul. Without that, there would have been no Reddit for me, which is why I'm here now and thrilled by this news.

If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.

I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.

[–] shipp@mastodon.coffee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is good, if only because it means the Lemmy developers can focus on back end development.

Looks like I need a Lemmy account!

[–] lixus98@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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.

This is amazing news! I like Jerboa but I've been using Sync for many years now. It's just so dang good.

[–] UrbenLegend@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

That's awesome to hear! Hope there's a lot of code that doesn't need to be changed.

[–] kortwotze@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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!
