The more, the merrier!
The more the lemmier.
it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(
I def prefer people contribute to the existing open source apps (or make new ones), but overall the more the merrier. I’m happy when anyone builds something for the lemmy ecosystem.
I think it’s more of people wanting to stick with the developers and apps that they have used on reddit. Some of which have been using and supporting for almost a decade. It also means more of an endorsement for Lemmy, as some reddit sync users wouldn’t consider Lemmy otherwise. Lastly, a significant number of power users (those that actually post, comment, and otherwise contribute) use third party apps over the official app, meaning that having support for these apps on Lemmy will hopefully bring over quality users and not just a larger quantity users.
That’s my take on it, and I am someone very pro open source.
This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
OH MY GOD ITS MY DREAM COME TRUE
Would be great to have other mobile apps fill the gap, so that the devs can focus more heavily on the main site instead of Jerboa.

FWIW, I highly doubt the devs are focused on anything but the Lemmy API right now. In fact, I also doubt they’ve slept in a month.
For sure, even so, it’ll be good to have a really solid mobile app option that doesn’t take any of their focus in the future.
Any app right now would be great. The web needs some UI tweaks. I hope Apollo comes to light.

Oh thank fuck

This seems to be the official magazine: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
Confirmed by LJDawson: https://www.reddit.com/r/SyncforLemmy/comments/14ee1ul/sync_for_lemmy_is_happening/joui3ej/
This is absolutely fantastic news! Sync was pretty much my only way of browsing reddit for a long time. This should make the transition much easier.
BTW: Hi everyone, that’s my first comment on Lemmy!
This was my favorite Reddit app. So happy to see it coming to Lemmy now that I’ve moved on from Reddit.
Awesome. I uninstalled Sync after they stated it would be going down on July 1st because of the updates. It was the a great app. Looking forward to this.
How do universal subscribe links work?
/c/communityname@instance.tldJust type it like that and if you click it you stay in your instance
That is an awful, but functional little hack.
It would be nice if !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world could be supported.
neat!
This works, but it’s very amnoying to write for long urls on mobile. I seriously hope we get a “subscribe on external community” button added at some point, so that we don’t have to do this stuff when direct linked to a communty.
This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!
I’ve been using Sync since 2016. This is incredibly good news.
