The developer of Sync for Reddit is working on a Lemmy app
New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community
Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!
Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I'd suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.
That's my favorite reddit client. I was hoping someone would do a similar client for Lemmy. This is great news, I'd totally buy a paid version of Sync for Lemmy just to support the developer.
this has been my reddit app for over a decade!!! this just made my entire day!!
This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.

This is the new community on Lemmy
Edit of course it's a lemmy.world community. Sorry guys, I'm not on the beehaw instance so I see both.
Very exciting! Jerboa is nice but it's always great to have alternatives.
Great news. Sync made Reddit usable for me, as I was able to easily filter out keywords and subs that were problematic.
If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.
Thank goodness, sync was the app that worked the best for me! Awesome to see more apps coming out already
Cool, that would be ideal for me as its the reddit app I use(d).
Yesssssssss - by far my most used app. would happily pay for another pro version.
Just using firefox android's Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.
My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.
https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy or search !syncforlemmy@lemmy.ml in your instance.Edit: Official community modded by Ljdawson himself is: !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
Really hope Relay does the same
This is amazing news! I like Jerboa but I've been using Sync for many years now. It's just so dang good.
Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.
Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.
I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.
awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.
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
And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i'm sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits...This Elon Effect is stupid to a default
Will there be a version of the app for iOS?
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like (which is being discussed) api this app would be entirely compatible as well!
Thank god. Sync is the app I was using before this entire shitshow.
Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.
When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!
There's also https://lemmit.online/c/syncforlemmy@lemmit.online that mirrors the subreddit
LET'S GOOOOOO
When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn't even close for second place. But I'm iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!
@chloyster this would be sick. I prefer Boost for reddit, but this is really awesome too.
!syncforlemmy@lemmy.world Does this work?
Looking forward for it!
That's awesome to hear! Hope there's a lot of code that doesn't need to be changed.
It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world as the community for the new project.
Ah great, i was almost giving up on such a thing happening (the other devs doing great work tho of course)
Awesome! Really looking forward to this :)
Nice :D
Holy Cow, thats some freaking great news!
Best news all day!
really hoping for someone to make an iOS app soon
Ahhh! Yes!!! Sync is my baby, dripfeeding my mainline supply of reddit for the last several years. Bought the lifetime and don't regret it. I'm excited!
This is fantastic news. By far the best Reddit app for Android, so I have no doubt the lemmy version will also be fantastic.
