Sync is back in its rightful place on my device home screen, only now it points me at Beehaw. Things are looking up.
- jonsnothere ( @jonsnothere@beehaw.org ) 11•1 year ago
Yeah, this feels like coming home. I tried the other options, but none felt as smooth or as customisable as this.

Oh yes, I bought it, like I did for RedditSync 10 years ago
- NightOwl ( @NightOwl@lemmy.one ) English26•1 year ago
It’s nice to see sync back but going to wait until they introduce one time payment to remove ads before I start using it. Will stick with browser and Foss options until then.
- andrew ( @andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun ) English17•1 year ago
Heads up he just added that to beta 25 which is now available on the play store.
Or it’s going to be available soon? I’m actually not sure the status as I’ve updated but still only see the two options, but his recent comments indicate he’s added that.
Ah, found it. If you’re not subscribed to ultra there’s a separate “remove ads” option that you pay separately for.
- wagoner ( @wagoner@infosec.pub ) 2•1 year ago
How much is it?
- andrew ( @andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun ) English2•1 year ago
For me it’s $20.
- Altima NEO ( @altima_neo@lemmy.zip ) English2•1 year ago
$20 to remove the ads
$99 for lifetime “ultra” which removes ads, comes with cloud storage for settings I guess? And all sorts of other bells and whistles that rely on cloud services to work.
Seems decent to me, considering the subscription for a year is $20, if you need those things.
But removing ads for $20 is all I need.
- fox ( @fox@beehaw.org ) English14•1 year ago
The one time IAP is now live $19.99 plus tax
The amount of time I’d spend in Sync for Reddit daily, this was a no brain purchase for me.
- Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
same, nice to see this meme 😎
- zonk ( @zonk@kbin.social ) 7•1 year ago
Speaking of which, is/will there be a way of transferring your sync for reddit payment over to the lemmy app? I bought it like half a year ago. Understandable if I have to re-buy it, but figured asking won’t hurt.
- redcalcium ( @redcalcium@lemmy.institute ) 7•1 year ago
Nope, never heard any plan to support transferring purchase on sync community.
- Seathru ( @Seathru@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
When I just installed it, the second or third option that came up was “Restore purchases: Restore your previous in-app purchases made in Sync”.
This is my first time using sync so I don’t have anything to test it with.
- Pixel ( @pixel@beehaw.org ) 16•1 year ago
I have never been happier to download an app in my life. Connect was great for the time but the polish and ux of sync is unmatched
- DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@kbin.social ) 13•1 year ago
Unsurprisingly the same issues as the Reddit app. The fonts are all over the place, the layout is kinda weird and the thumbnails are tiny.
- jetsetdorito ( @jetsetdorito@lemm.ee ) 14•1 year ago
I really didn’t like sync before, but gave it another try and really customized the UI and like it a lot now. The default font is so tiny
- DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@kbin.social ) 18•1 year ago
I still don’t like it, doesn’t look like there’s any new options either. Luckily I just found out that someone forked Infinity over, which was my second favorite Reddit app, and it is FOSS.

I wasn’t aware of this! Thanks for putting this on my radar
- kosmoz ( @kosmoz@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year ago
This is amazing news. Thank you for letting us know!
- ijeff ( @ijeff@lemdro.id ) 2•1 year ago
The project’s official community is also here: !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id.
- sarsaparilyptus ( @sarsaparilyptus@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
Too bad Infinity has that weird fixation on not marking posts as read persistently, it would be great if not for that.
- DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Feel free to contribute.
- sarsaparilyptus ( @sarsaparilyptus@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
It was like that because of a deliberate design choice that enjoyed widespread support
- DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
What design choice exactly? You can always fork it if you want to.
Edit: I just tried and the hidden posts all seem to stay hidden even after restarting the app. What exactly are you missing / is your problem?
- sarsaparilyptus ( @sarsaparilyptus@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
Infinity was originally a Reddit app that has been forked. This came up more than once:
“This is intended”.
Maybe that’s different now, but normal people don’t pay attention to feature upgrades on open source projects that they don’t use, and the fact that this was intended behavior led me to believe there was no particular reason it would ever change, especially since it still hadn’t when I last used the app some time after the dev commented in the second screenshot.
- can ( @can@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Sync is so customizable. If you are willing to go through all the settings it’s worth it.
- mitch ( @msprout@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Yeah once I tweaked list view to use large fonts, I was much happier. I don’t really have any major issues with it yet, except that I can’t assign a shortcut to go to the comments from a gesture. It’s just a habit from a previous Reddit app that’s tough to break.
- silentdon ( @silentdon@beehaw.org ) 12•1 year ago
I’m not sure if this was how it worked for reddit but it makes you set it up when first opening, then again when adding an account, then again for each new account. There don’t seem to be any global settings so you have to manually copy settings for each account. This makes it kind of a pain to set up how I want.
- Itsamelemmy ( @Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip ) English1•1 year ago
That can actually be a good thing. In reddit, I’d set the accounts up slightly different so I knew what account I was logged into. Basically, my main was amoled and alt account was dark gray. Easy way to distinguish what account you’re using.
- silentdon ( @silentdon@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
I get you and I actually agree. But I think it might be easier to have option somewhere that applies current settings to other accounts.
- Reil ( @Reil@beehaw.org ) 10•1 year ago
Ooh, nice. I hope this means Boost for Lemmy’s release isn’t that far behind!
- overlordror ( @overlordror@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year ago
This is the one I’m excited about. I switched from Sync to Boost and never went back as a redditor.
- J_C___ ( @J_C___@lemmy.place ) 8•1 year ago
This is so huge
Submitting new posts seems to be “coming soon”. No issues commenting. I just dropped into chrome to submit, I’m sure he will button it up soon
- mitch ( @msprout@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year ago
I’ve already gotten an update to the app since I installed it this morning. A promising development pace. I paid for the year license cus you gotta spread the love on the Fedi.
- VieuxQueb ( @VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca ) 3•1 year ago
Using it since this morning, works great, has the hide read post I so wanted. Very intuitive UI and all. But I had not realized it yet, as I seldom post myself, that it was not done. It feels complete and yet it’s missing one very important part for the community to keep growing lol.
- can ( @can@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
There’s a lot to it if you want to do it right. I’m hopeful for crossposting like the webui
- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemmy.fmhy.net ) 6•1 year ago
It feels like if I was on that other site.
- Pistcow ( @Pistcow@lemm.ee ) 5•1 year ago
I’m back baby!
- slaytswiftfan ( @gaytswiftfan@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year ago
Yay!!! It looks like I have to rebuy pro but I’m ok with that
Same. Fastest app purchase I’ve ever made
- slaytswiftfan ( @gaytswiftfan@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year ago
it’s just so worth it lol — I’m not a big app person but Sync has consistently offered such a wonderful polished experience (far far outshining most other sites native apps)
- Rudith ( @Rudith@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year ago
Do any of the apps work with kbin yet? I couldn’t get sync to. 😕
- Zana ( @Zana@startrek.website ) 12•1 year ago
There isn’t an API for it to connect to yet.
- 00 ( @00@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
Not yet. Artemis is seems to be in closed beta for now (?).
- hariette ( @hariette@artemis.camp ) 4•1 year ago
Just a few more days for public beta!
But hopefully/kbin gets more app options overall. Especially with more features than lemmy, like following domains and profiles🤞
- can ( @can@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Love the app so far!
- hariette ( @hariette@artemis.camp ) 3•1 year ago
Yayy!! And Artemis is just getting warmed up 😜
- abbadon420 ( @abbadon420@lemm.ee ) 4•1 year ago
I have Connect now, why would I need Sync?
- Deemo ( @Deemo@bookwormstory.social ) English17•1 year ago
Best reason would be if you were a reddit sync user in the past Lemmy sync would feel familiar.
It analogous to Apollo users feeling voyager similar (to an extent).
- Swarfega ( @Swarfega@lemm.ee ) English2•1 year ago
Very much this. It feels like being back on Reddit. Without Reddit…
- Swarfega ( @Swarfega@lemm.ee ) English6•1 year ago
I’ve been using Connect until now. Connect worked but, for me, it was like wearing work boots in and around the home. Sync is like wearing slippers again.
- d4rko ( @d4rko@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year ago
Man, I wish Relay had a Lemmy version.
