Sync for Lemmy

Everyone is free to do what they want, but with the bugs this has, and the ads it contains, and the high lifetime price, it's a hard pass for me

Testing a link

Brilliant - I love that we can see where a text link actually points. It's one of the things I've liked least about Lemmy apps so far, sometimes you're potentially clicking blind.

Oh, and we still have the choice between inline and expanded, fantastic! Settings shortcut: Link handling > Expanded comment links

My lemmy experience is exponentially better now, great work! thank you!

Just bought the remove ads version. It is very thrilling to be back to Sync! I'm so used to this look and interface after eleven years with Reddit Sync. Lemmy becomes immediately more familiar and friendly to my eyes. I enjoy Jerboa just fine but I guess I am just an old guy set in my ways and this is how my favorite mobile scrolling app should look and behave. Seems great for a beta and I look forward to further developments!

As a first release this is so much more fully featured than anything I expected!! So impressive thanks @ljdawson@lemmy.world.

Didn't realize how much I missed the slide to upvote. This is great. I know the whole subscription thing but whatever, I don't want ads and it's a tiny yearly payment. I'm in for the year and let everything work itself out.

Feels great.

This is fantastic, but I'm not going to sign up for a subscription. I would love to support development and get an ad free version like Pro let me. Will this be coming in the future?

I feel like LJ should seriously reconsider switching the colours on the logo and up- and downvotes in accordance with Lemmy's layout

Hi, I have one question - on removing ads, are the ads trackers removed? Or will the app just not show us ads but still allow the trackers in, letting the ad tracker owners keep tabs on our browsing and serve us ads in places other than Sync for Lemmy?

A world of difference. What a good day today!

Thank you thank you thank you

Feels like home.

If you pay for Sync, IMO you should give to the instance which hosts your lemmy account as well as to the Lemmy dev(s) (yes Dessalines is a tankie, but you should separate the artist from the person)

I would love to pay for Sync, alas I don't have Google services on my phone. I know this day will never come, but a non Google pro version would be great (some pro versions I bought without Google play: Folder sync pro, Tasker, Fairemail, KWGT, Poweramp, xprivacy...)

The app is really great

I haven't seen any ads? Am I missing something?

Some things never change 😂 (I know this is not sync's problem).

Was about to complain that I was hoping for remove ads version instead of premium sub shenanigans, and ljdawson had already pushed an update.

Take my money 🤑💰

So exciting! For some reason it says "Coming soon" on my Galaxy Fold tho

This is my first action on the app.

I'm already impressed after having logged in and scrolled 2x screens doomscoll style, how the repeating threads aren't coming up.

I'm sold.

Going to wait just a bit longer before signing up for premium, but that will probably happen before next week.

If there was any chance for me to go back to reddit, it's definitely gone now. Awesome app so far!

Alright, feels like home again!

Great news.

However, I've become partial to having separate accounts across various instances. Sync enforces having separate settings for each account. I can see this becoming pretty annoying. Does anyone else feel this way?

I hope this encourages people to support the open source clients too. At least in directing them to improve their features and catch up!

Brilliant work!

Epic

I love it. Can't wait to remove ads (because it seems IAP is not here yet?)

I have to admit this is amazing. It's like I never left reddit. Can't believe how fast you put this together.

Is it on f-droid? I don't have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.

fuck yeah we back
