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.
My understanding is its all different UIs creating/cataloging content via the ActivityPub standard and it comes down to the different "types" of content being emphasized or focused on. Lemmy focuses on"link aggregation" ala Reddit, Mastodon does "Microblogging" ala Twitter, kbin does and supports both.
Thanks for your answer it clears it up.
So theoretically it seems like someone could create an app which "marries" mastodon content with Lemmy.
My favorite Reddit app for several years now. Great news.
Nice!
I need an iOS app
I can't find it now but I saw that there was one currently in development. EDIT: actually looks like there are a few. One called Lemur, one called Mlem, and the one I was thinking of is called Artemis.
thats amazing news!
Im enjoying Jebora, but happy to switch to something which throws less errors.
YES!
guessing this is going to be an Android app and there won't be an iOS variant? regardless, happy to know there's an app coming sooner than later and look forward to being able to easily browse Lemmy on my phone again.
Been Joey for Reddit user for as long as I remember.
I wanna try Sync for Lemmy. This is way to go!
As a recent lemmy convert from reddit who exclusively used Sync, this made my day. Thanks for the news.
I already bought Sync for Reddit twice. Removing ads from the free version the first time (it was still called Reddit Sync back then) and then again for the 'ad code not even included' pro version earlier this year. Guess I'll be buying Sync a third time.
Or more specifically, Google will be buying it for me with the cash they paid for my data.

Are you talking about this google rewards program that pays you in google play money?
So many good news. Glad these developers are also trying out other options since Reddit has started shitting itself.
I will pick this up day 1! Been using sync for years and have always come back to it.
Hell yeah
That's awesome. Sync is the best Reddit client on Android.
I was always a rif guy but I've seen so many posts here about sync, seems like a lot of people loved it. Being about to reply to a comment from my inbox, or at least navigate to where its at in the thread, would be a nice upgrade!
I'm hoping we get a Lemmy is fun app personally
What is "Sync?" I've never heard of it.
It's literally THE best reddit app. If you have an Android, give it a shot before they nuke it. Blows Apollo straight out of the water, it's like miles ahead.
Quite ironic it's a subreddit though
yeah I thought that was kinda funny, but OOP's users are Reddit users so I guess it makes sense. Once they have the MVP out probably it should move to a Lemmy community
They have one already. OP probably just linked this one by mistake.
