Interesting. I haven’t come across any ads yet.
Do you have adguard or pihole or another DNS blocker? If so, I don’t think you’ll see ads. At least not yet.
Nope, nothing like that.
I see an empty card for ads, I thought my adblockers blocked the actual content of the ads.
I see that too but it’s still empty without any ad blockers, at least for now.
Edit: the ads are there now lol
So fucking ecstatic to have seen that Sync for Lemmy came out today personally.
Paid for Ultra immediately without a second thought even if the app is early days I know it’s a worthwhile investment to keep ljdawson paid and caffeinated lol
Is infinity for lemmy ready for install? I don’t see it in the playstore or any apk for the tagged versions.
Using it RN , looks good , tho thunder and liftoff are still better !
You can use obtainium to keep it up to date
Are people not using Memmy?
I can’t keep up with all the apps anymore.
Mommy is iOS exclusive
Not my mommy, she’s on Android But yeah, that is an iPhone exclusive app

Of course she is. Why would mommy ever raise a worthless android peon?
Where’s the love for Connect? Best app hands down!
I like connect too, so far it is the only that property display gif avatars and gif in comments
I like the mark as read on scroll! Makes me miss Joey a lot less!
I mean, Sync does show gifs in comments properly.
Takeoff does it too
Is connect open source?
No, but iirc the dev said he might go open source if he cleans up the code enough
IS sync not open source?
It is not.
Infinity for Lemmy was developed?
Mr Bazsalanszky forked it and is being developed now

Also this
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id
Oh thanks. I like Infinity I’ll follow it.
Thank you! Just installed the APK. I was a sync pro user but the way the dev is handling Lemmy is disappointing with the ads, tracking and subscription only.
Summit has gotten really good too, and has infinite scrolling and edge-to-edge display.
I don’t really get the drive towards Sync. Sure, it’s familiar, but lots of better options out there.
I agree. Having tried almost all lemmy apps on Android, my favorite so far are Summit and Sync.
Hard disagree, every other Lemmy app feels sloppy and doesn’t work half the time. Sync ftw
You should try Summit - after tweaking for 5 minutes it’s what I wish Sync would look like. Aesthetically it’s awesome!!
Sync still wins based on functionality and ljdawson’s tendency to make sure everything works as intended, but I like the look of Summit more.
Yeah, Summit is a standout.
Yeah, tried sync since that was my reddit app of choice but the ads and tracking just forced me to uninstall it. Trying thunder now and it seems pretty good
Sync’s ads can be turned off by paying a small fee.
There’s no tracking in Sync
There is
Infinity >
sad /kbin noises
The API will come soon! (seriously its being worked on if you don’t know lol)
Whether we’ll be using Sync when time comes is another thing lol.

Hang in there 🤞
Infinity won’t let me log in. So far I’m really liking Sync. And I’m completely fine with a subscription at it’s current price. I’m happy to support devs. 8 don’t like working for free. Not sure why they should have to. And so it’s either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.
Yes the app is really well made
And so it’s either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.
Please think really hard for a moment and try to consider whether there are more ways to purchase something than by subscription or ad support.
One time payments would be great, but the devs make a lot more from subscriptions. You don’t see services like Netflix or Hulu offering one time payments options. As a consumer, I love it, but the devs might not be able to sustain the app from that model. I’d be interested if you have any other ideas though.
Netflix and Hulu, you’re paying for content. Completely different.
There would be a lifetime one time payment option coming up.
He’s talking about tiping
Okay. But I feel one time purchase is a good option
I’m pretty happy with connect for lemmy
Imagine Apollo for Lemmy 😮💨
Hopefully the dev changes his mind about not creating an app for lemmy
Have you heard of wefwef? It’s basically Apollo for Lemmy.
Link to a Reddit post about it, quickest I could find in short order at work:
https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14lr2n4/wefwef_is_an_apollo_like_web_app_for_lemmy/
Seriously good by any measure, and fantastic for a webapp. Smoother and more native-feeling than a lot of actual native apps.
It’s called Voyager now.
Is it? I got it before it was on App Store, so it still says wefwef. Should I go get Voyager because one day updates won’t transfer over? Or am I good, and super duper cool cus I got OG Voyager?
Thanks, I didn’t realize that. My icon still says wefwef.
For the PWA you’ll have to remove and re-add it to get the updated name and icon, if you want them. Not required by any means though
Thanks that worked!, I feel like I preferred the old icon though :/ I’ll get used to the new one I guess.
Yes and big fan as well even hosted it on my instance
good job on having india’s first general instance (ig?)
That’s Voyager.
except it’s not, because Voyager is React and comes with all the baggage that using React brings.
Native clients all the way.
Works great as PWA, and Voyager is already coming native.
Which is also coming for Android!
i’d love a native version since brave keeps resetting voyager every 2 or 3 days
💪
Yeah no, Apollo was native, Vogager isn’t
Native already incoming and PWA works awesome.
That’s Voyager.
Great… Now I get to look forward to a trip back from the delta quadrant.
Yeah, it’s called Voyager, and it doesn’t even have the Pixel Pals or pop-ups that ruined Apollo!
i’m using memmy (iOs) ! works very good, and it feels nostalgic since they tried their best to… be inspired by apollo 😄
My gf installed that one yesterday, but I think it does not have an option to mark as read posts while you scroll, hide read posts?
I couldn’t even see if the read posts were dimmed.
It does in TestFlight. In fact, it has several options for marking read and works great.
Wait, so the App store version is just a dumbed one version?
No, it’s just behind the dev builds. Lots of new features have been delivered lately and will be pushed to the App Store soon.
Good to know, thanks.
All “hide read posts” options are here!
In Settings -> Content -> Hide Read Posts .
edit: to clarify, i have the 0.5 version. i’ll update to 0.5.1 now.
They have added the blue jump button. It makes it hard to upvote comments at the bottom, but love that it is there.
You can hide the button, but my favourite way to upvote comments/posts is by swiping a bit to the right!
And if you deep-swipe to the right it will downvote.
You can hide it in settings—>appearance
I love Memmy for Lemmy!
Thunder! I run the ipa sideloaded. Gets weekly or so updates, very active development.
Thunder keeps crashing for me. I switched to Connect today. We’ll see how it goes.
