Sync for Reddit is dead, long live Sync for Lemmy
Sync for Reddit is dead, long live Sync for Lemmy
Morning all, Just a quick update to say I'm making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!
Lj
This is great news. I have signed up!
I must say, despite of how awesome Sync for Reddit was, I think we should all try not to go overboard with our expectations of what the first version of Sync for Lemmy will be. This is testing ground for all developers and expecting the same level of polishment that an app had on its 22nd version might be detrimental to the actual experience.
We know what ljdawson is capable of, so let's support him, let's enjoy his work (I am sure Sync for Lemmy v1.0 will still be awesome), but let's also give him time to refine his product on a new platform. I don't know what is involved in the development of this new app, but I do see some points where all other Lemmy apps are struggling, so I can only assume this enterprise presents some new challenges. It is only fair to give him some room for growth and not expect absolute greatness from scratch.
As a Sync Ultra user, would pay again. The quality of Sync is out of this world, I used Reddit just so I'd be able to enjoy a good UX on my phone.
Good luck with the first version!
The king is DEAD.
*#LONG LIVE THE KING! *
Even if I use Lemmy less than Reddit, Sync has earned my respect enough for another purchase, I know Lemmy is in heavy flux, hope this doesn't dampen your efforts ^_°
24k!? Dang. I'm really hoping that contributes to the activity over here. Lemmy provides a similar enough experience that, as long as the people come, it'll be comparable to Reddit for sure.
One question I've been curious about: is your goal to make Sync for Lemmy as close as possible to the same experience as Sync for Reddit, minus any changes that are inherently different between Reddit and Lemmy?
Sync was amazing, it will continue to be amazing. I'm 100% buying the Pro version again.
This is what keeps me going. Your work is so appreciated!
Sync was awesome, so glad to hear there's gonna be a version for Lemmy
Really excited for this, how have you found working with the Lemmy API's compared to Reddit's?
Only reddit app I've ever used. Can't wait for the Lemmy version!
Can't wait!! Thank you for your efforts and I'll be purchasing Pro again!
I’m very excited about this! Sync was my preferred client on my Android phones, so I’m definitely looking forward to this.
Bought Sync back in 2012 and got over a decade of love for it, count me in line for Sync for Lemmy!
I'll even pay for Pro again, just making it happen. Love you dude.
Good, I love Sync!
I'll buy Pro again!
Respect dev, you made the right choice to hop in here!
Can't wait for Sync for Lemmy.
looking forward to supporting the new version of sync again when it's up! Thanks for all your work on this
Patiently waiting! Using Connect in the meantime.
Super excited for Sync for Lemmy, thank you lj!
Great to hear that about time reddit's monopoly ended, too many shitty decisions they need punished
Cannot wait! ill be buying pro.
If you need beta testers, sign me up!
Fantastic - literally joined Lemmy today to be ready. Looking forward to this, long, long time user and now dropping Reddit.
Very much looking forward to it! Loved sync so much :) I keep on trying the gestures in this connect app haha
Hey LJ!
Just another redfugee here and long time Sync user. I'm excited to see what you come up with.
Guaranteed fan for life. Fuck spez. Long live Sync.
Just take my money already! Definitely will pay again for pro version of Sync!
I'll buy Pro again!
I'm so excited for Lemmy Sync! I've been using Sync for Reddit for many, many years and absolutely adore the app - the new app will certainly ease the transition to Lemmy!
Fantastic news! Signed up, happy to pay again, can't wait!
I've signed up! Been using Sync Pro for so many years, I'll continue to do so on this new platform
Sync for Reddit

Hey @ljdawson@lemmy.world, good work! Can you provide a ETA if you could?
I was unsure where to move after reddit, but when you annouced Sync for Lemmy it was clear as day. Thanks for keeping Sync up and running!
Yes!! Sync was how I browsed Reddit 95%+ of the time and I have no desire to use the official reddit app. Stoked that sync for lemmy is confirmed!
I'm so happy you're doing this! It's going to be amazing!!!
Thanks LJ!
I'm so excited for this, we all appreciate the immense amount of work this must take.
Awesome! Will there be an iOS version later on?
Can't wait! Liftoff is really good, but Sync was better.
Can't wait to use it.
Amazing! I cannot wait.
Sync is/was one of my favourite apps since 2013 - looking forward to seeing what the Lemmy experience is like.
looking forward to it my dude, i havent used reddit at all this month. thank you !
I'll being pro again as well!
I've been using Sync for many years, and I'll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process... I've read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but... if it takes time, I'll wait, no worries. Or I'll create another account somewhere else... I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that's something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I'll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.
I keep catching myself clicking the old sync app out of habit, it's like muscle memory at this point when I unlock my phone 😅 Is the Lemmy update coming as a patch to the reddit app, or will there be a new download when the time comes? Just wondering if I should delete the old app to try and break my addiction in the interim.
U the man
Anxiously waits in anticipation
This is great, I can't wait!
Hi lj random question regarding sync for reddit. Do you know by any chance when the imgur rapid api key will expire?
Great to hear that about time reddit's monopoly ended, too many shitty decisions they need punished
Long live the King!
It's incredibly awesome that you're doing this, and we're here to help continue the legacy that is Sync!
Thank you for your hard work.
That's great news, as someone who bought Sync for Reddit pro all those years ago, and who just heard about/signed up for Lemmy in the last 5 minutes.
Looking forward to trying it out and learning more about Lemmy!
Super excited to see where this goes! :D
Wow, that's a lot of signups !
i was genuinely sad when i saw this.
Cannot wait! Thanks for all of your hard work. I'll be joining Sync for Lemmy as soon as its available.
Can't wait, thank you!
I'll being pro again as well!
Good night, sweet prince. Not goodbye, only until next time.
That's incredible news! Please let me oe the community know if you need any help beta testing.
Already signed up and stoked for sync to make a comeback. Thanks for everything
Can't wait
Can't wait ☺
Super excited to see where this goes! :D
Waiting for it!
Loved the app. Looking forward to using it again here!
Excellent! Can't wait! Thank you!
Thanks for the great work LJ, Sync was my favorite app by far, so I hope to switch over to it once out.
For now, I have really been enjoying using Wefwef. So cool to see so many great apps for this platform.
You should start doing pop-ups daily when opening the app.
Like saying, "it's no meta Mondays today!"
Or, "new app update features: xyz"
That's awesome. Looking forward to it!
Let's go!
Hopefully kbin comparability is an option once their API is sorted
The King is Dead! Long Live the King!
Sweet, can't wait!
I will definitely use/pay for this when it comes out just as a token of appreciation for your work on Sync.
But it'd be awesome if you picked up support for kbin as well when it's API offerings are fully out, it's my prefence over lemmy by far.
Excited! @ljdawson@lemmy.world Can you say yet whether SfL will include a tablet mode like SfR did?
Far out that a huge number, and Lemmy is just starting out!
