New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community
gaydarless ( @gaydarless@lemmy.ca ) 110•1 year agolol:
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 agolike if the app is serving different content than the browser…
hemmes ( @hemmes@vlemmy.net ) 11•1 year agoHoly shit, what a dumpster fire
ActuallyRuben ( @ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl ) 11•1 year agoBut 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 agoIt’s the experience of viewing the content you grumpy person!
Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) 65•1 year agoJust WOW! I’m using SyncPro for 9+ years, I’ll support this app for sure!!!
cantankerousnuts ( @cantankerousnuts@lemmy.one ) 7•1 year agoSame! 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 agoI 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 agoI 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 agoMlem 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 agoThank 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 agoI’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 agoI 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 agoHave to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?
DeflectedBullhorn ( @DeflectedBullhorn@lemmy.one ) English6•1 year agoLikely 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 agoThere was a Sync for iOS beta at one point… in the dark days before Apollo.
bdonvr ( @bdonvr@thelemmy.club ) 9•1 year agoThere’s also Memmy. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
But it’s also unfinished
shortwavesurfer ( @shortwavesurfer@monero.town ) 10•1 year agoAnd Thunder (ios and android) https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
hannes3120 ( @hannes3120@feddit.de ) 2•1 year agoThat 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 agoI’m testing Memmy and it’s rapidly being amazing, super impressed
end0fline ( @End0fLine@startrek.website ) 2•1 year agoI 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 agoYeah 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 agoThere 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 agoAmazing 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 agoLol 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 agoIf 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 agoI 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 agoIt’s just their excuse to make you use their shitty app
Alleywurds ( @Alleywurds@tabletop.place ) 4•1 year agoThat’s hilarious!
ede ( @ede@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year agoYup. Same here.
Sentenial ( @Sentenial@beehaw.org ) 27•1 year agoSync was my preferred app. Will pay money again for a lemmy version
Satiric_Weasel ( @Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year agoAgreed, and it will be well worth it.
theUnlikely ( @theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz ) 2•1 year agoI’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 agoObviously 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 agoSeems like a consequence of beehaw’s actions
soiling ( @soiling@beehaw.org ) 14•1 year agoit 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 agoYou’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 agoI 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 agoI 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 agoI 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 agoI 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 agoI’m not sure why you’re so defensive about it, but ok?
Master ( @Master@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoIm 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 agoYes this is the better link to not provide traffic to reddit.
aranym ( @aranym@lemmy.name ) 25•1 year agoVery exciting! Jerboa is nice but it’s always great to have alternatives.
Pyr_Pressure ( @Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ) 24•1 year agoWow, 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 agoWhat a fucking shit show.
lowleveldata ( @lowleveldata@programming.dev ) 23•1 year agoHow’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 agoNot 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 agoSync 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 agoDid 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 agoAn 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 agoSweet, 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 agoJerboa in List mode looks like Sync
boopinsnoots ( @boopinsnoots@feddit.nl ) 9•1 year agoPro 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 agoSo much so that I assumed it was the inspiration.
HalcyonReverb ( @HalcyonReverb@midwest.social ) 22•1 year agoFantastic 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 agoSame
slaytswiftfan ( @gaytswiftfan@beehaw.org ) 20•1 year agothis has been my reddit app for over a decade!!! this just made my entire day!!
Astigma ( @Astigma@feddit.uk ) English20•1 year agohttps://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 agoI 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 agoIf 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 agoNot 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 agoyeah, this is why I have a beehaw account and a LW one for the moment…
lazynooblet ( @lazynooblet@lazysoci.al ) English4•1 year agoexcellent, subscribed
cavemeat ( @cavemeat@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoThat is unfortunate. We’ll have to repost stuff here then.
Lobstronomosity ( @Lobstronomosity@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoI’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 agoAs 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 ago100%. The few bucks I spent on Sync Pro were some of the best dollars I’ve spent.
ChimpanzeeThat ( @ChimpanzeeThat@aussie.zone ) 18•1 year agoGreat news. Sync made Reddit usable for me, as I was able to easily filter out keywords and subs that were problematic.
