Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.

I'll be posting updates on discord:

i will follow the sync app to the ends of the earth

Yep, i'm permanently on Lemmy with this news.

As a long time Sync user this made my day!

Wow, I've never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it's one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I'm currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get "ported" to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.

Just created an account then downloaded Jerboa. I am +/- ten minutes old here in Fediverse yet. About to delete my 11 year-old account in Reddit. Thank you u/spez

The whole fediverse needs some serious UX work.

I saw it in the redditsync subreddit already - this is such great news, especially since I'm still struggling to get used to the Lemmy interface. I had bought Sync Pro 7 years ago and it is probably the most heavily used app on my phone.

It's exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.

Great. I hope other devs will follow (dbrady if you're reading this). I hope he ditches reddit's forced naming scheme. Lemmy Sync.

The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!

I will pay full price, day one

I moved to Sync when alien blue was bought by reddit, this is such exciting news!! Woo!

As a Sync user since 2017, this is amazing news!

This is HUGE! I was really missing Sync.

this is amazing!! sync for reddit is such a gorgeous app i was sad to leave it behind

I'm genuinely so excited for this and and the same time hoping boost makes one too. They recently dropped their latest update and it looks beyond pretty with the rounded edge cards and adaptive colours.

This has made my day! Sync for Reddit is amazing.

Great news! I hope the developers of Relay and Apollo do the same. The more options the better!

This is great news. If you aren't familiar the dev is very committed, hard working and responsive. Sync was packed with features and customization.

noice

Does the playstore allow developers to make a page for an app not yet developed? Would be cool when reddit shuts down 3rd party apps to have the sync for reddit app send you to a sign up page for sync for lemmy.

Well, now I want RIF too, completion is good!

In all seriousness this is good to see.

My favorite Reddit app for several years now. Great news.

I will purchase Sync Pro for lemmy when it comes out.

It's been an outstanding app for me on the old site, and I look forward to firing it up again in a much better online environment.

H I S T O R I C

Awesome news! I have been a Sync user for the past literally 10 years

Now THIS is good news!

As a iOS user I really hope Apollo will follow!

This is genuinely exciting news.

That's why I came here today! Like a Phoenix rising from Sync for Reddit's ashes Sync for Lemmy will be born! Nice to see you all my fellow converts. Today is my new cake day!

nice. I've personally been more of a Boost user my self so was a bit disappointed to hear the dev was not planning to port or support lemmy which I understand. so far jerboa has been decent but I'll keep an eye out for others.

This will really legitimize and mainstream the platform!

I am a Boost for Reddit User, but have seen Sync and it is well designed. Jerboa is cool but it is not there yet. The experience the dev from Sync brings to Lemmy will be amazing.

Not asking for features but would be good if kbin is included with it so that user fragmentation is limited. I still don't really understand the difference with Lemmy but it's cool.
