Afternoon all,

Sync for Lemmy (Android) is now available for pre-registration on Google Play.

I’m currently working with 100 internal testers to add the final parts / resolve any issues and should be ready to go live within the next week.

I’ll be emailing everyone that signed up with the previous form today too.

Cheers,

Lj

      I’m sure it’s nothing personal. For instance, I’ve been using Sync for reddit for over 10 years as my primary method of accessing reddit, so I know this is going to make me a lot more comfortable using Lemmy.

        Yes! Meant nothing towards the Liftoff devs, it’s the best app I’ve used for Lemmy. I had been using Sync for about the same amount of time and loved everything about it

        I posted this in another thread-

        People should expect these reddit apps to be buggy when they come out. I loved and paid for both apps but I think people have pretty unrealistic expectations for sync and boost. The established lemmy apps have a big head start in getting those bugs worked out.

          but the devs of these popular reddit apps likely have recycled a tonnn of their reddit app’s code into the Lemmy app and and are therefore working with a much more mature codebase that they’re also much more comfortable with. for example, I’m loving liftoff but it has so many random bugs that, while not awful, are a bit jarring. and the vast majority of them aren’t Lemmy bugs, they’re just normal app bugs that haven’t been worked out yet. and while I’m sure the liftoff devs are great, it’s a new app and will experience growing pains that sync likely won’t deal with as much.

      Nah I’ll stay with liftoff. Never used sync… came from baconreader and liftoff has the same vibe.
