Hey LJ!

Just another redfugee here and long time Sync user. I'm excited to see what you come up with.

[โ€“] LazerFX@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Fantastic - literally joined Lemmy today to be ready. Looking forward to this, long, long time user and now dropping Reddit.

[โ€“] Rez@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I was unsure where to move after reddit, but when you annouced Sync for Lemmy it was clear as day. Thanks for keeping Sync up and running!

[โ€“] Emile@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

Very much looking forward to it! Loved sync so much :) I keep on trying the gestures in this connect app haha

Can we have this one supported on non-Google Android?

I was stuck on Sync 19 because of this

Just subscribed to Lemmy.world because of the message in Sync for Reddit, so I'm definitely looking forward to buy your app again. Still not too sure about the differences between Reddit and Lemmy, other than Lemmy is slow, but it's probably getting a lot of attention suddenly.

Yes!! Sync was how I browsed Reddit 95%+ of the time and I have no desire to use the official reddit app. Stoked that sync for lemmy is confirmed!

I'm so excited for Lemmy Sync! I've been using Sync for Reddit for many, many years and absolutely adore the app - the new app will certainly ease the transition to Lemmy!

[โ€“] anthonium@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Just take my money already! Definitely will pay again for pro version of Sync!

I've signed up! Been using Sync Pro for so many years, I'll continue to do so on this new platform

[โ€“] CupDock@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Can't wait! Liftoff is really good, but Sync was better.

[โ€“] Saptuce@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you for your hard work.

[โ€“] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Is there like a timeline for this?

And I just want to say thank you for doing this development

Hey @ljdawson@lemmy.world, good work! Can you provide a ETA if you could?

[โ€“] chtk@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think ljdawson said 4 to 6 weeks in the introduction post in reddit. That was a couple of days at least ago though.

Can't wait to use it.

[โ€“] YosemiteFinish@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'm so excited for this, we all appreciate the immense amount of work this must take.

Long live the King!

It's incredibly awesome that you're doing this, and we're here to help continue the legacy that is Sync!

I keep catching myself clicking the old sync app out of habit, it's like muscle memory at this point when I unlock my phone ๐Ÿ˜… Is the Lemmy update coming as a patch to the reddit app, or will there be a new download when the time comes? Just wondering if I should delete the old app to try and break my addiction in the interim.

Anxiously waits in anticipation

[โ€“] dillis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

i was genuinely sad when i saw this.

[โ€“] sotolf@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, that's a lot of signups !

[โ€“] Deffi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

Exciting! Are you starting from scratch or are you able to copy portions from the old code over?

Super excited to see where this goes! :D

[โ€“] aquinteros@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

looking forward to it my dude, i havent used reddit at all this month. thank you !

[โ€“] LazerFX@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've been using Sync for many years, and I'll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process... I've read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but... if it takes time, I'll wait, no worries. Or I'll create another account somewhere else... I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that's something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I'll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.
