As so many others have said, their app of choice WAS Reddit, and Sync was Reddit for me. There's some good Lemmy apps out there, but my muscle memory misses Sync!
Hell yeah! Sync is the reason I joined the fediverse when I heard you're making an app. Been a loyal user of your reddit apps since the beginning, there is no comparison it was the best! Can't wait to see how this project matures. So far, seems to be much better than other social platforms simply because it's decentralized and all the benefits that brings. Things are looking promising and I, for one, don't miss reddit at all!
Nothing happens when i press the 'Subscribe' button after writing in my e-mail address. Might be on my side the problem is. Have tried on 2 web browsers on my computer
I just want to mention that your signup submission endpoint syncapps.us14.list-manage.com is being blocked by Firefox's enhanced tracking protection. If anyone having trouble with signup, try temporarily disabling adblocker or tracking protection.
For those having issues getting the email form to:
Show up at all
Submit once/if it is showing up
Disable your ad and tracker blockers for syncapps.io.
iFor me, AdGuard was blocking the form from showing up at all. Then, in Firefox, dev tools showed that the tracker tool was stopping the form from submitting. Once I disabled both things for the site, I was (hopefully) able to get it submitted. I got the "Thanks for signing up" notification on the site, anyway. I'm not sure if I was supposed to receive a confirmation email, so I'm just hopeful it worked.
I was a paid user since the early days. I think Sync has been very generous with its pricing and extra features and would like to see it continue. Wish you the best of luck!
Nice. Second (whatever we call subs/channels in lemmy) signed up for.
Going to go straight for max pro bleeding edge beta demo for life version, rather than wait as long as I did with Sync.
Looking forward to pop-out subscription nav, floating action buttons, and ultra compact style options, and whatever other QOL improvements you have planned @ljdawson@lemmy.world
I hope the old ui customisations will be available, would be great.
I'm also wondering what will be done about lemmy's wierdness about subscribing to subs, where you need to search up the sub on your instance etc.
Even sharing the comment discussions is useless if the recipient isn't already from the instance (probably are but many won't be obvs), the site won't let them comment unless they find the discussion mirrors on their own instance. So how will sync for lemmy deal with these eccentricities (that lemmy devs are also obvs going to deal with in the future)??
Let's see where this goes. Most communities I switched over from Reddit to Lemmy are quite small at the moment, but with nice apps I imagine it will only grow.
What a trip! I was originally sad because I just uninstalled Sync for Reddit today only to join Lemmy and find out my favorite client is coming to Lemmy! Thanks so much!
Any chance you'd allow different billing than Google Play? I don't have Google Play Services and that's the reason I had to switch from Sync for Reddit.
This is great news. I'd have quit Reddit years ago if it hadn't been for sync. Please let us know if you need beta testers, as I'm sure I'll not the only one who can't wait for this!
I see I rated Sync for Reddit Pro 5 stars in the play store back in 2015, and it had definately been my favorite app since then. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the years.
Update: other comments say Firefox is the problem. It worked in Bromite.
The sign up doesn't appear to work for me. I enter my email, click the green Signup button, and nothing appears to happen. No "thank you" page. No apparent click to the button. Nothing.
I'll hear about the first version here, I'm sure, but I'd also like to sign up.
