New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community
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!
like if the app is serving different content than the browser…
But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.
Holy shit, what a dumpster fire
It’s the experience of viewing the content you grumpy person!
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!
There’s also Memmy. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
But it’s also unfinished
And Thunder (ios and android) https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
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
I’m testing Memmy and it’s rapidly being amazing, super impressed

I think it’s only a matter of time. I hope Lemmy/fediverse keeps up the momentum, it’s so great being off Reddit.
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. 😁
Thank you for working on this! I love Mlem and am excited to see how it develops.
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.
Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?
There was a Sync for iOS beta at one point… in the dark days before Apollo.
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.
Just WOW! I’m using SyncPro for 9+ years, I’ll support this app for sure!!!
Same! Although probably not as long. But Sync was consistently my go to even after trying other android apps.

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
How’s Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I’ve never used the former
Jerboa in List mode looks like Sync
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 !
So much so that I assumed it was the inspiration.
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.
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.
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
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.
Sweet, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Sync will almost definitely be my goto for lemmy then, once it’s a thing.

That is pretty good to be fair, I’d settle for that, but RIF’s compact is still superior for me.
deleted by creator
Yep, used compact view the whole time I used sync and it was perfect! chef’s kiss
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
Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!
Sync was my preferred app. Will pay money again for a lemmy version
I’m a Relay man myself, but Sync was a close second. Can’t wait for the Lemmy version of it.
Agreed, and it will be well worth it.
My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.
It’s mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world as the community for the new project.
You’d need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.
Why are they defederated?
The announcement is here: https://beehaw.org/post/567170
The tl;dr is that lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works have open registration, which Beehaw doesn’t like since it makes it trivial to harass/troll people. Beehaw has some questions you have to answer when signing up to try and reduce the amount of undesirable/negative behaviour, but that doesn’t stop someone from just signing up on another instance and bypassing Beehaw’s requirements.
I think this will eventually be properly solved with some more powerful moderation tools, but Lemmy isn’t quite there yet.
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.
Yes this is the better link to not provide traffic to reddit.
Seems like a consequence of beehaw’s actions
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.
You’re describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.
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 ?
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.

I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.
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.
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.
I’m not sure why you’re so defensive about it, but ok?
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.
Just using firefox android’s Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.
Looks like I need a Lemmy account!
A kbin API is in the works, if we manage to make it compatible with lemmy this app would be usable for kbin as well.
Hopefully kbin API will become compatible with Lemmy’s soon
There’s also https://lemmit.online/c/syncforlemmy@lemmit.online that mirrors the subreddit
Hey, I’m from the sync exodus! Super excited.
Yesssssssss.
Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D
ljdawson said it could be 6-8 weeks for an mvp, you might use a pwa in the meantime
Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.
