New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community
- gaydarless ( @gaydarless@lemmy.ca ) 110•1 year ago
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!
- Moonrise2473 ( @Moonrise2473@feddit.it ) 31•1 year ago
like if the app is serving different content than the browser…
- hemmes ( @hemmes@vlemmy.net ) 11•1 year ago
Holy shit, what a dumpster fire
- ActuallyRuben ( @ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl ) 11•1 year ago
But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.
- Mike Hunt ( @StJudasAhmed@feddit.uk ) English4•1 year ago
It’s the experience of viewing the content you grumpy person!
- Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) 65•1 year ago
Just WOW! I’m using SyncPro for 9+ years, I’ll support this app for sure!!!
- cantankerousnuts ( @cantankerousnuts@lemmy.one ) 7•1 year ago
Same! Although probably not as long. But Sync was consistently my go to even after trying other android apps.
- zekiz ( @zekiz@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
I actually prefer infinity, but the dev is trying to implement a subscription service. Of cause you can also compile it yourself with your own api key, but it doesnt seam like he’s switching to Lemmy
- midnight ( @midnight@lemmy.one ) 5•1 year ago
I really enjoyed my short time with Infinity. I was just seeing what else is out there and that one checked almost all of my boxes. I couldn’t get over the bright ass green they used when a comment was fully collapsed though. Still a fantastic app and I hope that dev continues to succeed.
- ulkesh ( @ulkesh@beehaw.org ) 47•1 year ago
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!
- BrooklynMan ( @BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml ) 17•1 year ago
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. 😁
- Wdc610 ( @Wdc610@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Thank you for working on this! I love Mlem and am excited to see how it develops.
- sparkl_motion ( @sparkl_motion@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
I’m using the app now, and it has seen some real improvements.
Are you guys taking feedback seriously? I don’t want to dump it in a circular bin.
- useful_idiot ( @useful_idiot@lemmy.eatsleepcode.ca ) 14•1 year ago
I think it’s only a matter of time. I hope Lemmy/fediverse keeps up the momentum, it’s so great being off Reddit.
- FalseLight ( @FalseLight@lemmy.one ) English12•1 year ago
Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?
- DeflectedBullhorn ( @DeflectedBullhorn@lemmy.one ) English6•1 year ago
Likely at first, but Sync for Reddit has a TestFlight for an iOS Version. I suspect that effort could be carried over if the porting process isn’t too arduous.
- bdonvr ( @bdonvr@thelemmy.club ) English5•1 year ago
There was a Sync for iOS beta at one point… in the dark days before Apollo.
- bdonvr ( @bdonvr@thelemmy.club ) 9•1 year ago
There’s also Memmy. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
But it’s also unfinished
- shortwavesurfer ( @shortwavesurfer@monero.town ) 10•1 year ago
And Thunder (ios and android) https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
- hannes3120 ( @hannes3120@feddit.de ) 2•1 year ago
That one looks great!
Last time I checked it wasn’t on any of the stores - now it’s listed on FDroid from the izzysoft repo!
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.hjiangsu.thunder
- 🇺🇦 seirim ( @administrator@lemmy.pro ) 9•1 year ago
I’m testing Memmy and it’s rapidly being amazing, super impressed
- end0fline ( @End0fLine@startrek.website ) 2•1 year ago
I have been using Mlem for a while and the last update or two through TestFlight have completely gotten rid of crashes (for me!). I know a lot of features are missing, but Mlem seems to be going in a great direction.
- ulkesh ( @ulkesh@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
Yeah it’s not bad, but there are numerous features I see missing, including simply saving photos easily. I know it’s a volunteer effort and I know in time all things will come. I don’t mind being patient :) I just know I’m going to miss Apollo and all the polish that application had.
- rumham ( @rumham@milksteak.org ) 1•1 year ago
There is another new app that seems to be taking some inspiration from Apollo. It’s also meant to work with kbin (kbin support first since it lacks any apps currently). https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp
- Framecode ( @DeathWearsANecktie@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 29•1 year ago
Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!
- skillful_garbage ( @skillful_garbage@beehaw.org ) 27•1 year ago
Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed
This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the Reddit app to continue.
With the only two options being

- crisisingot ( @crisisingot@beehaw.org ) 10•1 year ago
If you edit the URL and remove everything before reddit.com and the change it to old.reddit.com you can view it without the app
- JustARegularNerd ( @JustARegularNerd@aussie.zone ) 5•1 year ago
I can’t follow this logic of Reddit’s. Ohh, a community hasn’t been reviewed to ensure it’s safe? Oh, a community is NSFW? Gee golly, if you’re on a mobile phone you’ll have to use our app to look at it! We can’t have that open to the internet (unless you’re on desktop then you’re all good, until we make an official desktop app)
- sussy_gussy ( @sussy_gussy@wirebase.org ) English5•1 year ago
It’s just their excuse to make you use their shitty app
- Alleywurds ( @Alleywurds@tabletop.place ) 4•1 year ago
That’s hilarious!
- ede ( @ede@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year ago
Yup. Same here.
- Sentenial ( @Sentenial@beehaw.org ) 27•1 year ago
Sync was my preferred app. Will pay money again for a lemmy version
- Satiric_Weasel ( @Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year ago
Agreed, and it will be well worth it.
- theUnlikely ( @theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz ) 2•1 year ago
I’m a Relay man myself, but Sync was a close second. Can’t wait for the Lemmy version of it.
- Master ( @Master@beehaw.org ) 27•1 year ago
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.
- livejamie ( @livejamie@lemm.ee ) 30•1 year ago
Seems like a consequence of beehaw’s actions
- soiling ( @soiling@beehaw.org ) 14•1 year ago
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.
- livejamie ( @livejamie@lemm.ee ) 12•1 year ago
You’re describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.
- soiling ( @soiling@beehaw.org ) 16•1 year ago
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 ?
- livejamie ( @livejamie@lemm.ee ) 8•1 year ago
I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted.
There’s nothing in my comment to suggest that, and I think you’re projecting here.
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 ?
I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.
- fernandofig ( @fernandofig@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year ago
I don’t think it was unintended in the sense that the admins didn’t expect these consequences. At least to me, on their posts they seem very aware that what they’re doing is very damaging, but they were stuck with choosing between the lesser of two evils, and they choose what was going to keep them more sane for now.
- Master ( @Master@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year ago
I mean yes it is a consequence of beehaw’s actions. Those actions were justified though and the consequences mild considering how easy it is to view a community without being logged in.
- livejamie ( @livejamie@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year ago
I’m not sure why you’re so defensive about it, but ok?
- Master ( @Master@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Im not being defensive. I’m agreeing with you but adding context for other people. It’s legitimately consequences of beehaw’s actions. Those actions have a valid reason though.
Your post is specifically worded/presented in a way to illicit a reaction from people, which you got. So it’s fair for me to qualify my answer when I agree with you.
- GhostMagician ( @GhostMagician@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year ago
Yes this is the better link to not provide traffic to reddit.
- aranym ( @aranym@lemmy.name ) 25•1 year ago
Very exciting! Jerboa is nice but it’s always great to have alternatives.
- Pyr_Pressure ( @Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ) 24•1 year ago
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.
- archomrade [he/him] ( @archomrade@midwest.social ) 10•1 year ago
What a fucking shit show.
- lowleveldata ( @lowleveldata@programming.dev ) 23•1 year ago
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
- verysoft ( @verysoft@kbin.social ) 18•1 year ago
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.
- atocci ( @atocci@kbin.social ) 34•1 year ago
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.
- bric ( @bric@lemm.ee ) 5•1 year ago
Did it have the option to swipe between posts instead of needing to click on each one? It was a basic feature of the official reddit app that I’m surprised more 3rd party apps didn’t emulate. Joey was the only android app that I found that had it
- atocci ( @atocci@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
An option for a left to right swipe that goes through all posts on a subreddit one by one with a big media-centric post view? I haven’t used the official app, but if that’s what you’re looking for, it does! I can’t think of a single way to view reddit that Sync didn’t have support for.
- bric ( @bric@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year ago
Sweet, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Sync will almost definitely be my goto for lemmy then, once it’s a thing.
- Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) 11•1 year ago
Jerboa in List mode looks like Sync
- boopinsnoots ( @boopinsnoots@feddit.nl ) 9•1 year ago
Pro comment here, I always liked the compact content view and was wondering how to change it. This should hold me over until sync is out !
- grte ( @grte@lemmy.ca ) 2•1 year ago
So much so that I assumed it was the inspiration.
- HalcyonReverb ( @HalcyonReverb@midwest.social ) 22•1 year ago
Fantastic news! Sync was my main client of choice. I will be more than happy to toss the dev a few more bucks.
- Cheese Queen ( @CheeseQueen@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 3•1 year ago
Same
- slaytswiftfan ( @gaytswiftfan@beehaw.org ) 20•1 year ago
this has been my reddit app for over a decade!!! this just made my entire day!!
- Astigma ( @Astigma@feddit.uk ) English20•1 year ago
https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy or search !syncforlemmy@lemmy.ml in your instance.Edit: Official community modded by Ljdawson himself is: !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world. Unfortunate for beehaw users.
- 1337 ( @1337admin@1337lemmy.com ) English7•1 year ago
I haven’t been able to subscribe to any community hosted by lemmy.ml for quite awhile. When I click subscribe it just says subscription pending. I figured it was because of their server load at first, but since it’s still happening I’m not so sure. Anybody else having this issue?
- lixus98 ( @lixus98@kbin.social ) 7•1 year ago
If you want to follow from kbin go to https://kbin.social/m/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
Also you can use my browser extension and just click on the icon:
Kbin Link for Chrome
Kbin Link for Firefox- Master ( @Master@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Not sure how great that will work as it’s not showing anything posted by anyone from lemmy.world and since ljdawson is a lemmy.world account you wont see any of the posts made by him…
- Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) English6•1 year ago
yeah, this is why I have a beehaw account and a LW one for the moment…
- lazynooblet ( @lazynooblet@lazysoci.al ) English4•1 year ago
excellent, subscribed
- cavemeat ( @cavemeat@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
That is unfortunate. We’ll have to repost stuff here then.
- Lobstronomosity ( @Lobstronomosity@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
I’m out of the loop, why is it unfortunate? I’m guessing it was defederated for some reason.
- runarskoll ( @runarskoll@beehaw.org ) 19•1 year ago
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.
- Arctic ( @Arctic@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
100%. The few bucks I spent on Sync Pro were some of the best dollars I’ve spent.
- ChimpanzeeThat ( @ChimpanzeeThat@aussie.zone ) 18•1 year ago
Great news. Sync made Reddit usable for me, as I was able to easily filter out keywords and subs that were problematic.
