Sync for Lemmy

It really is tempting to click on that $99 lifetime sub. I kinda feel like I got way more than my money's worth out of Sync for Reddit, and I'll use it for many more than the five years it would take to pay more for yearly subs.

Where are the ads everyone's talking about? I haven't seen any and I haven't paid anything or will they only start when it's out of beta?

Can anyone confirm if the imgur album link in the comment below opens like it should in the app?

When I click on the link, I get a toast with an error and then it uses the internal browser to open the link on the website:

Glad to see a one time fee for ad removal, but it's pretty steep. Maybe when the app matures and is not in beta I'll consider it. Thanks for the update!

Will you provide the option to use ultra lifetime from reddit?

I used sync for years and bought the pro version, what's the roadmap for former buyers of the the pro version for Reddit? Will we be able to get a discount for the ad free version?

....

I've been an alpha testing on sync since the first release. It's amazing how much has been done and improved over time. I loved Sync for Reddit and I'm gutted that Reddit has pull the plug on 3rd apps.

I'm very happy Sync is back, and also Boost is on the horizon. 3rd party apps are what built reddit to be the success it was.

I've paid for ad removal, and likely will pay for ultra when the time is right for me.

I know I'll use this for many years to come and if Lemmy doesn't work out, we can try again somewhere else!

@ljdawson, keep up the good work and producing apps we love! One small thing... will you fix my 2 column portrait bug now? :)

Bought sync for redd years ago. Just bought Sync for lemmy. Lj deserves every cent

Loving the app. I've been using Connect for the past few weeks after trying Jerboa and also just storing the website as a PWA on my phone and they just don't compare for me.

Only thing I am looking forward to left is the ability to submit posts from the app. I haven't submitted a lot to Lemmy, but I feel like I'll be able to post more when Sync gets that feature added.

Thanks for all the fish, Lj!

Loving the app so far. Is there anyway to view communities by size? My instance has a "communities" page that shows local and all communities by user count. Is this on the roadmap?

Appreciate the work on bringing Sync to Lemmy. Long time Reddit and Sync user here. Been lurking on Lemmy for a month but with Sync I feel like I can really enjoy this place. Thanks @ljdawson@lemmy.world !

My previous comment of praise got eaten by Lemmy. (draft saved, submitting comment, error) is that a sync bug or on the Lemmy side? I was excited that it at least saved a draft of the comment but it doesn't seem to be an option. Feature request?

The gist of my lost comment was that this app is great and I probably never would have found Boost had I come across this first. It's going to be a hard choice when boost finally comes out. Congratulations on a successful launch! I will be switching between this and summit for the time being

I think this setting should be on by default if sidebar navigation is turned on. It's a real game changer for this app in my opinion!

Settings shortcut: Experimental > Sliding panel style drawer

I haven't found any issues with it despite it being experimental. The only downside is that I now want it in every app that isn't Sync...

Edit: If I can make a change request. Could the search bar in the side panel be made into a pill shape like in the bottom drawer? Would modernize the look quite nicely imo.

Huh. I swear ad removal was $13 yesterday. Did that change? $20 is quite an increase over that

are there plans to bring the app to older phones like my galaxy S5 i used for reddit until the apps died?
