Sync for Lemmy is happening: https://www.reddit.com/r/SyncforLemmy/comments/14ee1ul/syncforlemmyishappening/
- It doesn't let me see the link. Says it a unrevised page and I either see it on the app or dont see it at all. Nice one, reddit

If it becomes available for Kbin that would be wonderful...
- I'm assuming it'll be compatible with the fediverse just like kbin+lemmy are compatible
  
  The problem is, from what I know, that there's no full API documentation for Kbin available yet, so an app for Kbin is not possible to make now. Yeah, the option would be to create it for Lemmy and then just federate with Kbin.
Paid for SYNC pro lifetime. Would ABSOLUTELY pay again.
- Bro died in Reddit /s
  Bruh I understand the feeling, I'm losing my mind right now.
- I'd totally pay for a sync Ultra lifetime sub too, I have had pro already for like 6 years.
For those wondering, there’s an app for Kbin in the works called Artemis.
- When I search for it in the kbin subreddit, it looks like the post is deleted. Do you have a link? Very interested
I ain't goin back.
Would be nice if they could reach out here.
I'd pay again, but only if the app itself is FOSS. Imagine using a proprietary app to browse a FOSS service...

Best news I've read in a while. Sync is such a good app, instabuy for me!
Not a fan of Sync, but if they'd also support kbin I'd probably still use it due to the lack of any alternatives.
- Honestly out of all the android apps sync was the best one. I tried Boost, RedditIsFun,koala and a bunch more but sync had the best extra features and look.
I'd be 100% down to buy Sync pro again for a Kbin Sync.
- Same!
I don't see any links to this thread, perhaps someone could link it? And if so, please be vocal about your support.
- For me it opened when I clicked the icon. Anyway:

  Nice! Looks like it's happening!
  I meant a link back to this thread from the Reddit one so the creator could see the discussion here for those who aren't engaging on Reddit.
Wow that would be amazing. I loved Sync. I just hope a toxic community doesn't drive him away again.
- Is Lemmy toxic? I feel like all its shortcomings it’s far from toxic.
  
  The Sync community turned toxic when the dev implemented an updated UI a couple years ago. The new UI was beautiful and much more in line with the evolving visual design of Android, but the average user hates change. The dev version spent a while on the new UI while it was being refined, but the free/pro version was not upgraded until I want to say probably a year or more later, the developer having gone radio silent for a while under all the criticism.
