As mentioned before I’m aiming to have something ready in the next 6 weeks ish.
Register your email to get notified when the app is ready to launch!
Heading to bed but 3142 signups in 7 hours, LFG!
LFG!
I was wondering why you are “Looking For Group” 😄
Seems like that also goes for “Let’s F****ng Go”
Brilliant, my friend. Thank you for your hard work.
I’m going to throw this link here for you to check out. It’s a table comparing Mastodon apps which already has a big ecosystem on the Fediverse. Maybe you can find some inspiration. :)
Make that 3143 :)
Make that 3144!!
And my… axe?!
And my bow!

Hey! Late to the game, but I’m hoping to sign up too. Is it full? I entered my email and the screen doesn’t do anything after i press “continue”?
Anyways, nice to see you here!
I don’t think it does anything. It’s just taking emails so when it does release, you’ll be notified.
It doesn’t work on Firefox…
hey man you deserve it
Ready for the pro version ❤️
As long as it’s as snappy as the reddit client I’ll be switching over from wefwef as soon as it’s out. Thanks for being awesome!
I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active
Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it’s much smoother than Jerboa.
Just be mindful of the default ‘All’ view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can’t interact with instances that you aren’t logged on in.
Instead change it to be ‘[email protected]’ to use it as normal.
Thunder is likely the closest to sync
This. In case anyone is wondering, here’s the link as it’s not on appstores yet: Thunder
Thanks!
You’re welcome, people never seem to provide links to where these apps can be found, glad to help.
I’ve been using connect for lemmy myself - I’m in the process of trying all apps but it’s hard to use anything after using sync for a decade :(
Honestly I have mixed results and opinions with both Jerboa and Liftoff… Liftoff, for example, wouldn’t even load a GIF that I posted when Jerboa would.
They currently also both randomly crash on me but I think that’s most likely related to lemmy.world not being on version 0.18+ yet.
Somebody pls find spez’s mail and use it to subscribe 🤣
My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.
In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.
It’s really fun to try out all these different apps.
Thank you for this.
I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.
And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys
Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.
+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.
Yep, am enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync.
I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).
Liftoff also has better formatting options. Here are a few screenshots:
Switched from Connect to Liftoff last week too. Kinda makes sense why it’s a little bit ahead of the curve given that it’s a fork of Lemmur.
I just wish connect had a better icon haha
I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don’t fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I’d like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it’s getting a bit small.
Can’t seem to log in with Liftoff… it keeps saying that my instance (lemm.ee) can not be found.
Your instance seems to use a beta version of lemmy so it’s possible there are API changes that make it incompatible with some 3rd party apps. Either that or the instance is being hosted behind cloudflare and the operator have strict anti bots option enabled (traffics from apps is almost similar with bot traffics). If yo ask your instance’s admins, they might be able to do something about it.
I’m not sure what that’s about. I tried with lemmy.one and had the same issue. For me it works great with lemm.ee and lemmy.world. Guessing it’s a big that’s hopefully getting worked on.
I’m trying Connect for Lemmy and it looks very good
agreed, this is great. Updates keep flowing. A visual separator between posts in amoled mode would be nice but its excellent. Devs should start charging for these already. At least in the settings you can ‘buymeacoffee’ for connect.
Connect is great. It can hide read posts. But I miss Syncs feature to swipe to hide. That was the killer feature that made me stay with Sync for reddit.
The swipe gestures can be improved, but Connect is pretty good for an app this early in development.
Connect is the best Lemmy app out right now. Great features, look, behavior, and the dev is very quick with responses and updates.

Ditto. Never regretted lifetime sync for reddit.
Very interested to see what he does with this.
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!
Care to recommend some of the best lemmy apps, according to your experience? So far my favorites are liftoff and connect. Until sync comes out, that is! 😄
Just got Connect.
It has been very close to Sync.
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
EDIT: Now i’m subscribed via my smartphone.
For me it says “Thanks for subscribing”
Ok. Gonna try to do that on my phone now.
EDIT: Got it sorted with a web browser on my smartphone.
Seems to be broken on FF (nightly, both desktop and Android). Worked on Chromium
I had no issue with Firefox stable (114.0.2) on desktop (Windows) after temporarily disabling uBlock Origin from blocking GTM on the page.
I just successfully registered with my Firefox (113.0.2). Perhaps they fixed the issue?
I got a simple “thanks for subscribing” line above the mail field, and I am using the internal browser for the “liftoff” app

Both ‘Microsoft Edge’ and ‘Mozilla Firefox’ on my computer and ‘Samsung Internet’ browser and ‘Lemur Browser’ on my Android smartphone failed to register my subscription. So I had to to use an app on Android called ‘Flyperlink’ which created ‘Bubbles’ like Messenger does for each web page you open before I got it to work.
Did you try a private tab?

For me, it didn’t work on Firefox, but worked on chrome
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.Thanks, this allowed me to sign up!
I’m on mobile with ublock and Firefox and sign-up still doesn’t seem to be working after turning off ublock
Same, was also blocked by my ad blocker. The button wasn’t responding to anything until I whitelisted domain
Boost4Lemmy already put a placeholder into Google Play store so people can get notified when a first build drops.
Doing the same with Sync4Lemmy would be a good idea…
Signed up for Lemmy just because you’re developing an app for it u/ljdawson. Can’t wait.
I’ve paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I’m so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.
Thanks for all you do!
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!
I’m curious how many signups you already got. Your app will skyrocket to the top in seconds once released.
7k
7,001 now that I’ve seen the sign up.
Well I can’t register my email any more so I think it must have been a lot.
Edit: doesn’t let you with ublock enabled.
I just did it. Your issue must have been cause by something else.
Yeah, same. Too late to the party, I guess!
Can’t wait. I’m basically off reddit now cause your app doesn’t work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.
Nice, subscribed already!
