Sync for Lemmy is live on Google Play Store

Sync was my Reddit app of choice for over 5 years, and after 30 minutes on Sync for Lemmy, my brain is fully convinced I'm back on Reddit. Supposedly this is just a Public Beta, but the only bugs I've found so far are the fault of my Lemmy instance, not Sync.

Sync for Lemmy should honestly just be the world's default Lemmy app.

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!

HE SAID THAT THERE IS ALREADY A ONE-TIME PURCHASE SUPPORTED VERSION SUBMITTED TO PLAY STORE THAT WILL REMOVE THE ADS.

Patience. Some people, man. Geez.

That privacy policy though. Not the best

I really wish the dev the best of luck. But personally, the idea of trying to make something lucrative and introduce ads (& the accompanying trackers) on top of something that people joined because they rejected that in the first place just doesn't sit right with me, especially given that we have awesome apps like Voyager and Memmy that are purely donation-driven.

It has ads.... Why are people so excited about this? Jerboa is open source with no ads and works perfectly.

It's live for me. It appears that the paid version, "Sync Ultra", requires a $2/month subscription, or $17/year. Seeing as lemmy APIs are free, I am confused why this is so expensive? o_0

I have to admit I'm totally soured.

Serving ads is not cool, and specifically poisoning the Lemmy instance with all the problems of tying near permanent content to an ad ID is negligent.

No you won't convince me he had to to make a living, or do you not use wikipedia.

Now we just need Reddit is Fun for Lemmy.

Finally logged in with Sync. 😆

I created my account a while ago but not having an App back then was more annoying/cumbersome to use the web front-end. Hence I quickly lost interest.

Learned about Sync today and just started to actually use Lemmy and subscribing to all the different communities.

Awesome to see so many vibrant communities now 🥳.

It appears that it is not opensource, unfortunately.

I'm a simple man. I see sync for Lemmy posted on 1000 communties and I uplemmy them all.

Nice. Got it installed and walking through settings. Seems nice so far. Not sure about ultra pricing though..

Hello World!

I already like it.

...just too bad I can't log into my Kbin account yet.

Anyone figured out how to enlarge comment body text?

I literally don't mind ads on my feed, I just want to support the developer as much as possible even tho I'm broke.

Does anybody know if it's possible to either

1. anonymously "log in" on an instance other than Lemmy.world, or
2. set up a feed for another instance?

Wow, this is very clean! I never used sync for Reddit so I didn't understand all the hype but I get it now. I'm very impressed

He'll yeah, brother

As you guys may know, I helped out a little over there, but I probably won't use it much personally since I happen to like the Lemmy browser experience.

It says it's not available. I have a Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra

Not for me. It's in sign up for auto install when available mode.

It feels like home, although not having a lifetime option for sync is a bummer

It will not let me sign in on the app, Anyone else experience that issue?

HALLELUJAH

Is it working fine for everyone? For me it crashes after I sign in and opening the app after being closed.
