Really looking forward to the release!
does this means what I think it means ?
Yeah baby!
Just testing if commenting works.
Sent from Sync for Lemmy (just kidding)
👀
🙄
Man I’ve been checking the Play Store every single day to see if it’s available to download! I’m so excited!
Exciting to see!
Just want to say how good it felt to open up sync again and see my cat photos! You’re a hero, LJ!
Feels just like home >.<
I see a lot of issues there already, is it available for download now? I haven’t gotten the email yet and I don’t see it on the Play Store
It’s an alpha release with only 100 testers at this stage.
And I wasn’t invited? :(
Sorry only 100 internal testers until Google fully approve. Gives me chance to fix some of the issues raised though!
No worries! I’m just thrilled to see it’s coming along nicely. I’m not going anywhere.
After Google approval, what is the size of the tester pool?
There is only a limit of 100 testers in internal testing. Other channels (Closed testing, open testing and production) doesn’t have any limit at all, but every update of app needs Google approval, which can take some time. Also, Google needs to approve post of the app (title, description, icons, etc…) even without uploading an app which can also take some time. Source: I’m developer (not of this app of course)
Had the same thought. Glad it’s not just me.
I guess its just a limited release rn for beta testers or something like that ?
Let me innnnn
From Discord:
Tomorrow is the google play signup form for everyone else (pending google approving it)
oh hell yeah
Discord link? I can’t seem to find it anywhere
At the moment, yes
Ahhhhh man I was traveling today and missed the sign up. The horrorrrrrrrrrrrr.
So excited
Nice !

Will it be released to F-Droid at the same time as the Google Play store?

The main repo is open source only, but there are others

Fdroid is just a program that lets you download apps from repos. Why would an Fdroid repo have nothing to do with Fdroid?

Your aggressive tone is predictably inappropriate considering your failure at applying simple logic. You would only have a partial excuse if you’re 11y/o or something.
There is f-droid the app store, and
f-droid’s main repo. See, it’s not that hard.just because they have an app that allows you to add other repos doesn’t mean those other repos are a part of f-droid
And that app is called… get it?
Because those other repos are not f-droid repos
Repos made to work in the f-droid app are not f-droid repos… wow
Is the
f-droid’s archive repo not an f-droid repo, too. lol.Please tell me you’re not an adult!
The thing is, you started on the right track:
Sync is not open source and Fdroid only allows open source.
Here, you are on the right. And you could have followed up later by simply pointing out that “Will it be released to F-Droid” usually means “Will it be on
f-droid’s FOSS-only main repo”, but you decided to rant some weird incoherent shit, and insisted on dying on a hell of straws instead!deleted by creator
Just saying, nobody loves a pedant.

Thanks for editing your comments to change the meaning of them and shift the focus of my comment instead of telling me why you wouldn’t like Sync for Lemmy to host its own Fdroid repo as was the intended focus of my original comment.

Has LJ said it’ll run without Google Play? I certainly hope so.

I was pretty sure that’s where I got it, almost certain in fact. It’s becoming clear to me now that my memory is faulty though. As you pointed out, it’s clearly not open source and the only repository I’ve manually added to F-Droid is one for Bitwarden. Sorry folks - I was mistaken
It’s not open source
