    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.

      I switched away from Sync to Boost some years ago, but would happily switch back for a Fediverse app. Jerboa is okay, but it doesn’t have the slick look I’ve come to expect from reddit apps like Sync and Boost.

        Jerboa has a couple of weird UI issues, like losing your scroll position when you exit a comments thread, and I could do with it having a bit more contrast in the ‘threaded comments’ view, see who said what - it’s a bit pale for my eyes. But it makes some things much easier than the desktop view of Lemmy, like navigating all the federation.

    ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one… as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this “Sync for Reddit” was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).

    im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys

      Good? The best one. I started to use Sync in 2013, there was no official app, only a couple of 3rd party ones. I tried them all a couple of days and Sync was vastly superior. I bought it and used it almost 10 years!

      Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don’t think it’s shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it

      It was the best. I have tried most reddit apps but that one could be customized exactly how I wanted and it was great. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

      It was my favorite app for a number of years. Pretty easy to use out of the box, but it came with an overwhelming number of things you could customize so you could have precisely the reddit experience you wanted. Pricing was fair at US$1.06/mo for the paid version. I can’t recall ever running into any bugs in the time I used it.

      I’d say it’s worth keeping an eye on.

          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.

      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

    And here I am, sitting and hoping someone with coding skills will make a Slide for Lemmy.

    This is fantastic news. By far the best Reddit app for Android, so I have no doubt the lemmy version will also be fantastic.
