Sync for Lemmy (beta) is now live for everyone
Sync for Lemmy - Apps on Google Play
Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.
My excitement is tempered by two things, the ultra cost being a subscription (I get the "why" I just hate more subscriptions) and also the pretty crappy targeted adverts "consent" whereby you have to scroll through page after page of third party vendors to turn off the "legitimate" interest which is, let's be honest their way around consent by just ignoring what you want. That's put me right off in all honesty sorry.
Oh my god it's beautiful. It's so beautiful.
Oh and please note that bugs should be reported in #sync-support-and-bugs in the discord: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva or the github.
LJ has been working very hard - this is beta 24 from no betas a week ago.
And again, it is a beta - some features like Ad-free IAP and submissions are not there, but they will be in there eventually.
It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏
For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I've missed it a lot.
Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.
I know it's early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that's needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.
Hallelujah!
Game. Changer.
I live my life as FOSS-y as possible.
This is the only subscription that I have. $2/mo or $16/yr is not even a blip on most people's radar.
The OG Sync was the most used app on my phone and tablet.
So download, enjoy, and pay the dev! He's phenomenal, approachable, and transparent. This isn't some Flappy Birds knockoff. This is a polished app that allows us to connect with one another more easily. And I'd like to see what features he comes up with next.
It takes a lot for me to trust an app/dev this much. Hopefully everybody else will too and we can help him do even more neat things.
Please consider offering a one-time purchase option for certain version milestones, maybe hosted on patreon or something if you need.
I don't mind paying to support development, I do mind subscriptions unfortunately.
First order of businesses.
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE HOME
What the hell, this is so impressive. I'm blown away! Did not expect this kind of experience this fast!
My god, it's actually like it used to be. Thank you a million times !ljdawson@lemmy.world <3
I feel so at home in this app!
It's a nice app mostly but there's a few things stopping me from loving it currently
Posting from sync, let's go!
I've only had a brief look, but is there a way to pay for pro (but not ultra) so I can remove ads?
Commenting from Sync! I feel back at home.
Firstly, I'm happy to see Sync return.
I made sure to subscribe to help make developing the app financially viable.
Secondly.. With the Sync beta just going live, I'm already running into my very first bugs.
What would be the appropriate place to report these bugs?
Edit: My question has already been answered by OP:
Oh and please note that bugs should be reported in #sync-support-and-bugs in the discord: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva
Hard to describe how good it feels to have Sync back! Was worried the tablet experience would be left behind but it's as smooth as ever. Thank you LJ! Instant subscription, absolutely no hesitation on that one.
Finally, I can ditch Jerboa.
ALL HAIL SYNC FOR LEMMY
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but 22€ for the ads-free option sounds a bit expensive to me. I bought Sync Pro for reddit for 3€ in 2018.
contains adds
contains in-app purchases
collects data
shares data with 3d party orgs
Nothing against sync, but this is not what I'd expect from lemmy app tbh. There's a lot of free open source options that don't sell your data.
Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion
When I saw the restore purchases, I almost thought I could restore the lifetime ultra I got for the reddit app lmao. Hope there'll be a discount when lifetime gets added for old lifetime buyers :)
The pricing is a bit much, especially compared to other services like Tutanota that actually runs servers and provides a service in addition to developing the applications. $20-$30 for the onetime purchase option would be more sane.
I know I bought Sync Pro for Reddit, but I know that was nowhere close to these prices.
EDIT: Found the Remove Ads option, and that is more reasonable priced.
Why am I seeing ads on Lemmy???
Edit: Looks like it's the app itself. I'll gladly make a one time purchase to remove them if that's an option, but another subscription is a no go for me.
Very nice! Now I can get addicted to Lemmy properly.
Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn't really what I want.
Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!
Everyone is free to do what they want, but with the bugs this has, and the ads it contains, and the high lifetime price, it's a hard pass for me
Wow I can't believe how much smoother Sync is than other Lemmy clients!
Feel just like sync for Reddit :D
Thank you!
On another note will there be the option to purchase sync like it was for sync for Reddit?
I've never spent $100 on a program before, but I've got a lifetime ultra membership now. Excited to see this app for lemmy!
I can feel at home again with sync.
It's freaky to see how smoothly Sync lets me hop back into a familiar experience, now on Lemmy. It's so clean and intuitive, no unnecessary crap, I love it. One of the best apps I've ever used, from one of the best developers to grace this cursed earth.
Not FOSS? Not interested.
Biggest improvement for me is toggling Settings shortcut: View type > Right aligned voting
Gonna try to see if I can use backup/restore layout from my old sync 🤔
Would it be possible to utilize the cloud backup/restore feature for previous Ultra users to bring all their settings back? At least for any similar rules?
Brilliant - I love that we can see where a text link actually points. It's one of the things I've liked least about Lemmy apps so far, sometimes you're potentially clicking blind.
Oh, and we still have the choice between inline and expanded, fantastic! Settings shortcut: Link handling > Expanded comment links
Just bought the remove ads version. It is very thrilling to be back to Sync! I'm so used to this look and interface after eleven years with Reddit Sync. Lemmy becomes immediately more familiar and friendly to my eyes. I enjoy Jerboa just fine but I guess I am just an old guy set in my ways and this is how my favorite mobile scrolling app should look and behave. Seems great for a beta and I look forward to further developments!
This is fantastic, but I'm not going to sign up for a subscription. I would love to support development and get an ad free version like Pro let me. Will this be coming in the future?
If you pay for Sync, IMO you should give to the instance which hosts your lemmy account as well as to the Lemmy dev(s) (yes Dessalines is a tankie, but you should separate the artist from the person)
I would love to pay for Sync, alas I don't have Google services on my phone. I know this day will never come, but a non Google pro version would be great (some pro versions I bought without Google play: Folder sync pro, Tasker, Fairemail, KWGT, Poweramp, xprivacy...)
The app is really great
As a first release this is so much more fully featured than anything I expected!! So impressive thanks @ljdawson@lemmy.world.
Feels like home.
My lemmy experience is exponentially better now, great work! thank you!
Didn't realize how much I missed the slide to upvote. This is great. I know the whole subscription thing but whatever, I don't want ads and it's a tiny yearly payment. I'm in for the year and let everything work itself out.
Feels great.
I feel like LJ should seriously reconsider switching the colours on the logo and up- and downvotes in accordance with Lemmy's layout
Hi, I have one question - on removing ads, are the ads trackers removed? Or will the app just not show us ads but still allow the trackers in, letting the ad tracker owners keep tabs on our browsing and serve us ads in places other than Sync for Lemmy?
I haven't seen any ads? Am I missing something?
A world of difference. What a good day today!
Is it on f-droid? I don't have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.
We that have supported Sync before should at least get pro version with no ads.
Thank you thank you thank you
Was about to complain that I was hoping for remove ads version instead of premium sub shenanigans, and ljdawson had already pushed an update.
Take my money 🤑💰
Some things never change 😂 (I know this is not sync's problem).
If there was any chance for me to go back to reddit, it's definitely gone now. Awesome app so far!
This must be the most upvoted post on Lemmy
This is sooooo nice! Really appreciate all the hard work.
This is my first action on the app.
I'm already impressed after having logged in and scrolled 2x screens doomscoll style, how the repeating threads aren't coming up.
I'm sold.
Going to wait just a bit longer before signing up for premium, but that will probably happen before next week.
Oh man the reddit mobile app is awful. Hopefully lemmy takes off because this app is just so good.
I have to admit this is amazing. It's like I never left reddit. Can't believe how fast you put this together.
I love it. Can't wait to remove ads (because it seems IAP is not here yet?)
So exciting! For some reason it says "Coming soon" on my Galaxy Fold tho
Great news.
However, I've become partial to having separate accounts across various instances. Sync enforces having separate settings for each account. I can see this becoming pretty annoying. Does anyone else feel this way?
Alright, feels like home again!
fuck yeah we back
Epic
I would love if there was a way to add multiple anonymous instances to quickly switch between! My main account is on lemmy.world but if there was a way to browse beehaw without an account I would appreciate it
Can you make a pro version so I can buy it and send some money your way?
Wow. Even restoring my backup I made with Sync for reddit worked perfectly and now it feels exactly the way I wanted it. I am very impressed how good this app feels.
sync was hands down the best reddit app. and now, even in early beta, it's already the best lemmy app. lj deserves what he's charging.
It looks and feels amazing. Thank you for this!
Don't know if the dev will see this, but can you add the ability to go directly to a subreddit (community@instance) or a user (user@instance)?
I hope this encourages people to support the open source clients too. At least in directing them to improve their features and catch up!
Brilliant work!
I've been playing around with the different options for Lemmy. This is by far and away the best. I was using Liftoff for a bit, this will be my main.
Well, that's nice to watch how people switch from reddit to the Lemmy. Foss internet is the best
I can post GIFs again! Jerboa didn't allow me to on mobile, which is the only way I use(d) Lemmy/Reddit
Soooooooo freaking happy to finally have the tablet setup that I just couldn't seem to find in any of the other Lemmy apps (so far)!!! I can now have three columns and see so many posts with their smaller but still good sized previews! Was curious how much would be different in moving to Lemmy, and so far everything seems to be much closer to one-to-one than I even thought. Very good work! And back on the Ultra sub as well!
The wait is finally over!
Some of us don't have Google Play services on our phones, is there a way to remove adds without having to install Google services?
And we're back to our regular sync programming, thank you!
Absolutely unreal how a top tier app can be such a game changer. Fediverse will be bigger than Reddit ever was.
Why is everyone excited about sync...was it something before?
Fantastic! Great to see this live and I can't wait to check it out and learn more about Lemmy. One question, what is the "restore purchases" option for? Does it look for ownership of Sync for Reddit Pro?
I've been using it the past 30 minutes or so and it's pretty good and very feature rich but I might stick with Liftoff for a while just because I got used to it. Some issues I had with Sync:
Only been using it for a couple of hours, but have to say this is a super impressive Beta. Might be my bias towards original Sync, but so far this is easily outdoing the other Lemmy clients I've tried (Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff).
Thanks from saving me from Jerboa!
This looks like a great app, but the premium subscription model seems really lame. I'm so tired of everyone indefinitely milking users with monthly fees. My last reddit app was a one-time fee, and I was happy to pay that.
Any chance the Ulta purchases for sync for reddit are going to transfer?
Day 1 Ultra Sub! Loved Sync for Reddit have been trudging along in kbin and Lemmy while this was being worked on. I am so excited... It feels so familiar! Thank you LJDawson!
This is great. Never used Sync before. Will gladly pay for the app
Will there be a sync pro app like before?
This feels like a near 1 to 1 copy of the Sync for Reddit app. And I mean that in a very positive way. Sync got me into Reddit, and I think it can definitely do the same for lemmy. I'm very excited to give this a try.
Ha, I'm guessing everyone and their dog is trying to download it right now! Just seeing "Pending"... :-)
Is there a way to export my settings from the Reddit sync to this lemmy app?
HYPE! so happy with sync THANKS LJ
They all try to be the king but the ace is back!
10k downloads in 2 days, hot damn.
Just migrated from reddit and writing from Sync. So happy that Sync is back!
A work of art in dark times.
I've been waiting for this!! Been using sync for reddit for what feels like a lifetime now. Bought the ad free lifetime version yesterday for Lemmy Sync. I've missed this app! But the honorable mention is LiftOff I'll be leaving it on my phone for a while too.
Is the launcher icon supposed to have a black background? Is this to distinguish from Sync for Reddit, or is it to indicate that it's a beta? It looks out of place with other icons, so I hope this is temporary.
I just downloaded this app and I love it. Welcome back Sync!
Omg.... I can't even tell you how happy I am about this!! I missed sync. I knew I did, but I truly didn't realise how much I missed it!
This is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work!!
Now I feel at home

Haven't used sync before, but I'm really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!
I miss this so much :)))
I absolutely love the app but won't use it! I get that you need money for all this work and I am happy to pay for such an amazing peace of software but Goole payments rely on Google Play Services and many privacy caughous users (like me) have degoogled phones so the app is essentially useless to me and probably tons of other potential customers! :(
Hell yeah!!!! App looks sick, this is my first interaction with a Sync product! Runs smooth and gives lots of settings that I appreciate.
it feels so natural now... thank you so much ♥️
Congrats on being first to market out of the other polished Reddit apps who are switching - I hadn't used Sync before (I used RIF, Joey and then most recently Boost) but now I'm committed to Lemmy and already loving this experience!
Thank you!!
Cozy in here
Alright post the Murray's
Now I can finally try Lemmy. Haven't been on Reddit for ages and Lemmy is all new to me.
Can anyone recommend a primer/beginner post for starting to use Lemmy?
Are we absolutely married to the idea that "upvotes" are orangered and "downvotes" are perrywinkle? I mean it works and we all understand the visual queue but lemmy has a chance to be different. Some people don't even want to call them upvotes and downvotes anymore. Just my thoughts... So far, I like sync a lot! Though I have to agree with a few other users that the font is small but I kinda like it. I didn't realize how much scrolling I did just to read something.
Looks nice and all, but what are those "Sponsored Content" blocks for? Is there going to be Ads soon?
Let's go! First post using sync! Hands down the best client when it came to reddit.
I've tried literally all of them. ALL OF THEM.
For the reddit clients, they came and went, but sync stayed on my phone and I always eventually came back to it. If that's not testament of a phenomenal app I don't know what is. The competition for the lemmy clients is honestly hotter than I expected but sync remains on top. None so far match the level of fluidity, customizability, and polish sync has.
My usage of lemmy went up by 5x today because of this. $99 feels pretty steep, but eh. Add it to the pile. Pretty sure it's over $300 at this point 7 years in. Lol.
To the years of mobile lemmy browsing ahead.
will it be live in IOS?
Using sync for lemmy now. So far, so good.

!fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world
Let me buy this one time please.
Why does it collect User/Device ID, messages, payment history and other data? Is there a detailed privacy policy anywhere?
Is there an option to separate the upvote and downvote scores? I've grown used to seeing that distinction on /kbin but it might not be a thing on Lemmy?
I don't know for how long I've used sync and Sync is a reminder that social media is only as good as the tools let it be. I'm not convinced I would've converted to Lemmy if Sync stayed with reddit.
Why isn't it availabe on F-Droid?
Just a Incredible app It Feel like being back home again and Man Do I miss it. Plus it dodo all over reddit official app and it's just in beta :)
would be very cool if this let you log in with a Mastodon account!
I didn't see kbin.social in the list of instances when logging in, and when typing manually, it returns an error. I'm still learning lemmy - is there a reason kbin login doesn't work?
Anyways it hardly matters, this acct is fine too and the app is amazing. Perfect timing with RIF now returning Error Forbidden while logged out (officially dead, rip).
Looking forward to using this more, thx y'all
Typing this from Sync for Lemmy. Love it already! Feels right at home.
I do not mind the subscription costs for the premium version. Yes, in a perfect world a lifetime purchase would be nice. But this isn't a perfect world. Lemmy isn't a casual game that can be considered "done" once it's developed. No, Lemmy and the Fediverse are new and unfamiliar and it is likely there will be significant chances to the ecosystem and this development effort for the developer.
1349kr for lifetime. Are you kidding me, seriously!!??! That's 117dollars. Whaaaaat.
Ah perfect, I restored a backup from reddit sync and it's like nothing changed, I love it! Can't wait to buy the pro version
Thank you 😊 now lemmy will be much more pleasure to use!
Looks good so far. Wish there was a way to copy my old Reddit settings to this one. All that muscle memory I'll have to relearn 😆
Now lemmy feels like home. Thanks!
Glad to see some more options for everyone to participate. I'm entirely satisfied with Liftoff, personally.
(this comment was made from sync)
Works pretty damn good if you ask me. I feel like I'm using Reddit again 😊
As a Boost user I'm glad this came out first. I was getting tired of waiting for Boost to release a Lemmy app, this one feels much better.
Works like a charm !
hell ya! just installed!
Yay, I'm able to comment on Sync. Everything's coming up Milhouse!
Currently using the beta, just a few questions.
Thanks for this app, really like the experience so far as I just migrated from reddit, now I just need to find counterparts for the reddits I view before.
Nice! A post with 1000 replies!
Can anyone else not submit a new post? I hit the FAB, which is set to submit, and a "coming soon" pops up and gradually fades out.
it's looking delightful, albeit still in the early stages. i'll happily pick up sync pro once that's available, as i did for the old reddit version
one admittedly minor thing: my home instance disables downvotes. is there a way sync can detect that, and hide the downvote buttons like the web ui does? alternatively an option in the settings to manually tell sync that downvotes aren't supported would work fine too
Thank you so much. It is a great app and brings enormous value to Lemmy.
This is absolutely insane!
Party! 🥳🎉

FINALLY!!!
Im using it RN
Replying with Sync.
Great to be here :)
It's so smooth..
Seems good so far, feels very nice.
Honestly forgot how good Sync feels. Such an enormous difference vs connect for Lemmy. Should make Lemmy a good bit better for day to day use.
Only thing I've noticed is that I can only see a sub. Would definitely prefer not to add another sub to the mix if a one time purchase is viable.
Love it. Feel home.
People really love to hate, don't they?
Christ on a cracker! When Reddit went tits up greedy, Sync's developer worked his or her ASS off to bring us what we have now. They deserve compensation. Just because they made an ultra tier and made it a subscription, some idiots in this thread IMMEDIATELY start talking about them like they're no better than Spez.
FFS, you people all want your good things for free, don't you?
Either pay for something that you think has value, or shut the fuck up when the developer has to seek compensation some other way.
You people are the worst.
Juicy. We will watch your career with great interest
Thank you so much
Thank you so fucking much.
Welcome back, Sync! 🎉
Hell yeah finally, been hard to quit Reddit...but now that I have Sync again all is well
A "hide after voting" option would be AMAZING
Looks great!
I guess I'll be spending a lot more time on Lemmy now. It's like sync never went away ʘ‿ʘ
I'm using Sync right now, it's working great. The level of polish is evident and much higher than the other currently available Lemmy apps.
Hello again fellow degenerates :D
Best Lemmy app hands down. Just deleted all the other ones. This is just so smooth.
My lemmy usage is about to increase significantly. Thank you so much!
This app is great, but the font is a little small
It's so good, my god.
So stoked, thank you LJ!
Installed and subscribed. I wasn't a paid user of sync for reddit but I think it's important now.
Installed Sync as soon as I could, but went back to Jerboa for now due to lack of a one-time purchase option. Not a fan of subscriptions, I need less of those in my life.
Ahhh. Feels good to be home. Thank you!!
Everything is gorgeous :)
It's like coming home after a long trip.
I have found a bug though. Logging in to sh.itjust.works seems to cause crashes that other instances don't (so far). Lemmy.world, ttrpg.network, and sopuli.xyz haven't crashed at all so far. Haven't tested any others yet since I want to take a bit to just enjoy the app.
Seriously, Dawson, thank you for this :)
Edit: found a very minor thing in the comment markdown menu. The >!spoiler!< markdown on lemmy is different than reddit uses. The >! Doesn't work here.

Supposedly. However, it doesn't actually work at all in most apps.

This is nice. Great app;
Sync is back in business! It's so good to be back home again.
We back!
Just restored my old sync backup. This Is fire!
I previously bought Sync Pro. Is any transfer planned?
I've never used Sync before. This is an amazing app you have here.
💀
So much more costs now? With a free platform and a app that's alredy been made, just modified?. 32dollars for lifetime... hmmmm...
I love this app way more than I thought I would, nice work!
My settings backup from sync for reddit works here! That's amazing
Why does it have 3 stars on the app store
Works, now to figure out what leemy is
First comment from Sync. Great work Dawson. I will delete all other apps now. Impressive how good this app is already after only so short development time
How do I collapse comments?
I've been using my browser to view Lemmy so far, still waiting on Boost for Lemmy. Decided to try Sync while Boost is still being worked on, and I gotta say I'm really liking it so far.
We are witnessing history.
What a legend.
So glad this is now available, been hesitant to try out Lemmy but glad I finally took the leap
Is there an easier way to post to different groups from the main page instead of manually search for it first? Also, why are the fonts so small?
I would do pro but not doing a subscription for ultra. Liftoff is good enough for me for now until a pro version comes out that's reasonably priced
Any option for a larger up front cost to remove ads? I don't care for subscriptions and can handle managing settings myself.
Font seems a bit too small. Is there a way to increase font size?
Thank you so much. I feel like I can use Lemmy the way it is supposed to. One immediate feedback I have is it took me way too long to find the add account button. That needs to be in the standard menus somewhere and not a mouse icon.
So glad to be back on Sync!
Incredible, I'm in!
I love this app. I'm about to purchase a lifetime subscription. I just have a couple of suggestions:
Great job, thanks!!
Anyone got any advice / starting points for a first time Lemmy user?
Will this be for iOS at all?
Sad, my Aurora store says my account is rate limited 😢 so i can't install it
Looks and works great. So glad to have this.
ITS HERE AND I AM POSTING FROM IT I AM HAPPY NOW
Is this open source ??
Oh, it feels good to be back in this familiar interface.
All the love ❤️🔥
BYE BYE BYE
I love this, can't wait to be able to submit posts. The customization is worlds ahead of connect, liftoff, jerboa. None of those are bad apps, but this is better.
Oh, so nice. I love to have it back!
Just wondering, is there a known issue about hidden posts? I hide them with a swipe action, but when in refresh the feed later on - the hidden posts appear once again.
Yessss. Using it to post this, and it just feels like home.
Thank you @ljdawson
is this going to be available on ios? i haven't used sync before so i am not sure whether or not it was originally android only.
Thank you!! Lemmy feels like home now! BTW if you're using lemmy.world instance, currently there's a server issue that prevents apps from loading comments. It's not a Sync issue.
this is fantastic! just gave it an install and a play. definitly will push me to use lemmy a lot more. great job
Congratulations on the beta release! <3
Excellent work. Finally an app that has reasonable UI/UX
Feels just as good as Reddit Sync did. Amazing job
Oh man, this release totally made my day. I've been missing this client something fierce!
Fuck yeah!
Only thing missing is being able to post threads. Otherwise it's like being home again!
It's beautiful. Thank you!
Liking it so far, is there a "hide on read" option?
Love it.
Some replies to a reply are showing up in the wrong place. Might be a bug, might be because I imported settings from old sync to save myself the trouble of configuring the application anew. Worked like a charm though.
I have a question, can I pin a instance in the feeds? Eg I have a lemmy.world account. Right now it shows me Everything, Local, and Subscribed. But I do want to see everything in programming.devs main page. It's like an everything for programming, so I see that as a valid use case.
This is so nice using Sync again. Solid app.
This app is amazing and all I needed to move to lemmy
Just joined Sync Ultra, the developer deserves it for the effort of making lemmy browsing the same delightful experience I got when I used reddit sync
Thanks! It's amazing to have your app back! It's hard to describe how much the difference in quality was impacting my enjoyment of Lemmy (no disrespect to the other app developers, but sync is just a cut above the rest!).
Very polished for a beta.
How can I change the home instance?
This is probably me being a dipshit. But how can I create a new post? Tried to submit via Sync and get the message 'Coming Soon'. Is this not possible via the app at the moment? TIA.
does a purchase simply hide the ads or do they still run in the background, collecting data and tracking and draining battery?
I feel like a complete moron, but I downloaded Sync for Lemmy and I can't figure out how to login :( I did manage to switch the default instance to my own, but I see nowhere to enter my credentials.
It looks nice though
This is already the smoothest third party app for lemmy. I've missed this
oh how I've missed you
Thank you... Been waiting for so long...
2 things
This post let me know, so I downloaded it, I'm posting from it, and I bought sync ultra before I even logged in.
Fantastic work!
I've missed this interface!
I'm so happy
Sweet, I’m hoping Apollo can come back like this as well someday too.
Awesome, downloading now! Can't wait to try it
I can finally enjoy Lemmy :)
Do we have any information if there will be a version without google drm? Would love to use it on my devices that don't have google play installed.
Today is the day!
Pretty cool, liking it so far
Seriously good. Totally fills the hole.
FUCK YEA
Holy shit fuck yessssssss this is awesome
Really cool. Trying it out now. Will there be an option to pay to remove ads that isn't a subscription plan down the line?
Jesus Christ this app is beautiful!
Posting it from sync. Now I feel like I am a little bit closer to deleting my reddit account. I am still searching for one instance of lemmy with maximum freedom of speech without censorship, only blocks or defederate criminal instances, csam etc.
I thought with the recent update, we would be getting the "Lifetime" option for Ultra but it's just for removing ads. Pretty disappointed about the subscription fiasco from the get-go.
This app is gorgeous with Android Material You!
So IOS soon?
You can use your old backups as well to restore settings. The only thing that didn't work for me was the theme, but it was an easy fix. Good to be back.
Awwwww yeah! I haven't done much yet, but everything looks beautiful.
but its not foss...
Downloaded and subscribed!
Where do I report bugs?
The image isn't displaying properly here
i love the UI. It really matches well with Google's. Using it right now!
I'll join the others in saying I gladly purchased pro in Sync for Reddit, but I don't like a subscription only upgrade. Otherwise great job!
Edit: I see now that it exists. I will buy the one-time ad removal.
Thanks for the great work! Just made a Lemmy account earlier today & subscribed to Ultra after seeing how much care & thought have clearly gone into this app. Excited to see what comes next!
Does anyone know if there's a way to see individual Upvotes and Downvotes? Been looking in the settings and haven't found anything.
We're back! I've literally been checking the play store every single day. Thank you LJ and best of luck on this new path!
Can't wait to pay for sync pro again, you deserve it dude
Is there an option to hide text in collapsed comments?
If anyone is interested is restore customisation, the Sync for Reddit backup works for Sync for Lemmy.
So who has found where to adjust post font size?
Not general font size and not card self-post font size. The font size of the post in comment view
This has completely made my day. Also very impressed that I was able to restore a backup of my settings from the Reddit version of the app, so setup was a breeze.
Let's Go!!!!
Hello world!
~ from S4L!
test
"Finally...inner peace."
It's so nice! Feels like nothing changed
I don't think I've ever been this excited for an app release. Great work!
Feels good to be back on a familiar UI. Instantly purchased ultra
The king is back
Can't make new posts yet. Bummer
This is incredible!
There is anyway to increase the text size on comments section?
This is amazing, thank you!
posting with joy from Sync!
amazing, I was even able to import my settings from the RedditSync app!
PRAISE DAWSON
It's good to be back everyone, so so good to be back.
So excited to be using Sync again!
Already this just feels better than the other Lemmy clients I have used, but maybe I'm just so used to the sync way of doing things after 10+ years.
Happy to support this with buying the ad free version, well worth it even just as a thanks for all the years I used the Reddit version.
the best Android app and even better than Jerboa, voyager, Liftoff and others. kudos for the dev
Awesome. Wish we could change the default font though. It's quite hard to read unless it's made much bigger.
Let's gooooooo!!
This made my day!
Anyone else seeing "view more comments" and then a message saying "no comments added"? Also the lines that line up comments and replies don't always seem to work the right way.
Hello my old friend. Good to see you again.
Hey everyone. Happy to finally get this out, it's been one busy month.
I'm looking to add a lifetime option for ultra & option to just remove ads. Keep in mind this is the first release, lots more to follow.
Cheers!
