Correction: the pop up for Lemmy should start to appear sometime this weekend
Also apparently confirmed in discord that kbin support will be coming:
I hope instances are preparing for the 2nd wave of Reddit migrants on June 30th
I think many of them have probably been gearing up for it.
Username checks out.
We need more instances, not bigger ones. Sync should try to promote smaller ones, or even host their own.
SyncForLemmy sub is unavailable outside the app!
Yeah, that made me chuckle. Reddit is really trying to make sure I move on completely.
I like how they imply viewing it in the app suddenly makes the subreddit safe. They use the same trick in NSFW subreddits to get people to install thier app.
This is fantastic. Sync was the best and I tried multiple apps but kept coming back.
I always used baconreader because I'm after really compact and full function with options. I don't want giant image cards because I'm ten million years old (I'm not, I just like the outcome of having to design around simplicity and efficiency).
However, an actual app? Made by a popular, experienced, and successful app dev? I will 100% pay for and use that even though it's not my preferred design philosophy.
Lemmy and kbin are... alright as they are, but chrome is such a pos for multitasking and I would really love some clarity and consistency to the ux design across different instances and more and better options.
What I really want, ideally, is baconreader to make a universal fediverse app - but the likelihood of anybody making a universal app and that's good is very low, let alone my favorite 3rd party reddit app dev that's already said they don't plan on it.
There's usually options for "list" view instead of "card" view.
Sync was completely customizable. You wouldn't believe how compact I made mine.
Dude you can customize sync to make it super compact
I'm not super familiar with Bacon reader nowadays, but Sync has a list view and a compact view that cram quite a few posts onto the screen. Hopefully its comparable.
I couldn't use anything else after Relay. But I will gladly take Sync over the mobile site.
Ljdawson is a fucking legend
Lemmy is cool and all so far... Hopefully the other communities make it over here.
If you want a particular community you can create it!
Be the change you want to see and create it. People will come
Create them! We won't judge you!
...don't judge mine
I created a sublemmy for PhotoshopRequest. Please spread the word as it'll help. Thanks! You may check it here
If anyone wants to support him he has a patreon.
Kbin support wow :0
Just take my money already 😩
No confirmation that it will be there at launch but great news that he's committed to supporting it!
It almost certainly won't be at launch, as the kbin API is not ready yet. Artemis, another upcoming kbin/Lemmy double-act app, is currently relying on a web scraper and self-hosted shim API to access kbin content, with the goal being to switch to the real API once it's available.
Basically, it's a lot of extra work to support kbin right now, but in the future it should be about as easy as Lemmy. I'll be interested to see if any other Lemmy apps pick up kbin support as a result, but even just a couple is more than I expected so soon.
Fuck yeah. I'm a grown ass man, and I feel like a child at Christmas Eve.
Honestly this feels like reddit in the old days hahaha
Stupid question, but what's the difference between kbin and lemmy? I thought kbin was a lemmy instance.
From an end user point of view, there's not much difference other than the UI (and because of differing APIs, different third party apps too). It's fully interoperable with Lemmy (and Mastodon).
Behind the scenes on the server, though, it's a completely different piece of software.
Think of it as GMail and Yahoo! Mail. It's still emails at the end of the day but the UI looks different and their servers are definitely different.
That’s not a stupid question.
But it was just talked about in a giant thread the other day.
Do search engines even index this shit?
When I Google stuff, I can’t find anything here.
Will be buying the pro version as soon as I can!!!
I might buy pro on all 3: Mlem Memmy and Artemis, just to help skyrocket them on the App Store. Fuck spez
I'll probably do the same. I bought Pro for Sync, Slide, & Relay just to support the Dev's when they released their reddit apps. I think they were only about $1 each for pro back then. I ended up buying Sync Ultra for like $30 after the Slide Dev abandoned his app and I went back to Sync. It was an awesome app and I wanted to support him. I've got $18 in Google Opinion Rewards burning a hole in my pocket that I'm saving to use for Lemmy apps when they release their Pro versions.
This is awesome. The kbin support is gonna go over really well too.
Fantastic!
Very excited for kbin support!
Amazing news!
Kbin support is exciting. Should be interesting.
I wonder if the development would be very difficult for the dev, do we know if he's gonna give some updates blogs-like? That'd be cool, maybe to insñir other Reddit apps devs.
