We that have supported Sync before should at least get pro version with no ads.

Soooooooo freaking happy to finally have the tablet setup that I just couldn't seem to find in any of the other Lemmy apps (so far)!!! I can now have three columns and see so many posts with their smaller but still good sized previews! Was curious how much would be different in moving to Lemmy, and so far everything seems to be much closer to one-to-one than I even thought. Very good work! And back on the Ultra sub as well!

I've been playing around with the different options for Lemmy. This is by far and away the best. I was using Liftoff for a bit, this will be my main.

Well, that's nice to watch how people switch from reddit to the Lemmy. Foss internet is the best

Why is everyone excited about sync...was it something before?

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was a popular 3P Reddit app.

This must be the most upvoted post on Lemmy

Can you make a pro version so I can buy it and send some money your way?

Wow. Even restoring my backup I made with Sync for reddit worked perfectly and now it feels exactly the way I wanted it. I am very impressed how good this app feels.

This is nice, lifetime price is a little steep for me though, I'd buy it for half price

Only been using it for a couple of hours, but have to say this is a super impressive Beta. Might be my bias towards original Sync, but so far this is easily outdoing the other Lemmy clients I've tried (Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff).

[โ€“] Alcmzt@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

And we're back to our regular sync programming, thank you!

[โ€“] mec287@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Oh man the reddit mobile app is awful. Hopefully lemmy takes off because this app is just so good.

[โ€“] simple@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've been using it the past 30 minutes or so and it's pretty good and very feature rich but I might stick with Liftoff for a while just because I got used to it. Some issues I had with Sync:

  1. The default font size is tiny, I had to go looking in the options to increase it.

  2. It seems like expanding replies of comments is a bit buggy. It seems deep replies are showing before the comments they're replying to.

  3. The UI is pretty overwhelming at first. Feels like there are so many buttons and knobs that do a lot of things, a few of which are redundant. That's definitely just me not being used to it, but that's my first impression coming in from apps like Reddit is Fun which are fairly straightforward.

sync was hands down the best reddit app. and now, even in early beta, it's already the best lemmy app. lj deserves what he's charging.

[โ€“] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I can post GIFs again! Jerboa didn't allow me to on mobile, which is the only way I use(d) Lemmy/Reddit

Absolutely unreal how a top tier app can be such a game changer. Fediverse will be bigger than Reddit ever was.

[โ€“] Ilnek@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Will there be a sync pro app like before?

[โ€“] fiammalunacia@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

A work of art in dark times.

[โ€“] belikewater@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Some of us don't have Google Play services on our phones, is there a way to remove adds without having to install Google services?

[โ€“] Bdi89@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The wait is finally over!

Any chance the Ulta purchases for sync for reddit are going to transfer?

I've been waiting for this!! Been using sync for reddit for what feels like a lifetime now. Bought the ad free lifetime version yesterday for Lemmy Sync. I've missed this app! But the honorable mention is LiftOff I'll be leaving it on my phone for a while too.

[โ€“] Devgard@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I miss this so much :)))

[โ€“] HanDuo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Day 1 Ultra Sub! Loved Sync for Reddit have been trudging along in kbin and Lemmy while this was being worked on. I am so excited... It feels so familiar! Thank you LJDawson!

[โ€“] dmrzl@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

Cozy in here

[โ€“] MrGerrit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

They all try to be the king but the ace is back!

[โ€“] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is there a way to export my settings from the Reddit sync to this lemmy app?

Haven't used sync before, but I'm really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!

Just migrated from reddit and writing from Sync. So happy that Sync is back!

[โ€“] Odo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And I'm commenting from it. So nice to have Sync back.
