      This is going to be a game changer. I’ve been using Sync Pro since 2015 and can’t see myself using anything else for mobile browsing. Thanks for the awesome app!

      That is great news! I look forward to trying it when it is ready. I really enjoyed using Sync and was so sad that reddit ruined their ecosystem.

      I’m literally getting emotional. For me, Sync was reddit. Been using it for over 11 years. Can’t wait to be an early adopter and never let go again.

      If you need beta testers familiar with the original Sync or anything, happy to help!

      Excellent! Sync was my first and only Reddit app. I think I had multiple lifetime subscription s to Sync Pro. Very glad you are continuing with Lemmy! I’ve been done with Reddit and haven’t been back since the day I saw that you were shutting Sync down.

        We’ve been using it for sync development for the last few years.

        When there’s enough to release of course they’ll be changelog and posts etc too.

        Discord is fine, if that’s how he wants to disseminate the information. But maybe use a community on Lemmy, for the Lemmy app

      Well yeah, but that’s the difference between volunteering and being on a big salary. Hopefully the influx of new users will lead to more code input though, and more donations.

    It’s exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.

        I agree. Been using Jerboa as well and it’s nice and usable enough as a placeholder, but I’ll be watching the Sync development. Can’t wait!

          Jerboa has been nice, besides the weird glitch where it shoots me back to the top of a post when scrolling down. Lol

          Otherwise it’s pretty good for a FOSS solution!

            nah.

            Mastodon has great apps and they are FOSS. Jerboa is “better-than-nothing”, it is bad.

        It is technically not a bug but it is a feature which was useful when Lwmmy had very few users. It is getting changed anyway tho so it doesn’t really matter

    Wow, I’ve never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it’s one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I’m currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get “ported” to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.

    I already bought Sync for Reddit twice. Removing ads from the free version the first time (it was still called Reddit Sync back then) and then again for the ‘ad code not even included’ pro version earlier this year. Guess I’ll be buying Sync a third time.

    Or more specifically, Google will be buying it for me with the cash they paid for my data.
