Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.
What should make the first release?
give me relay for lemmy and i’m set
Ha ha ha! Spez is really pushing it.
I didn’t get that message
I think there will be a lot of random actions in the coming days. Reddit is really mad right now and admins are taking random actions that are later overruled because it’s bad optics.
They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit… I have learned the following:
-
They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.
-
They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.
-
They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request… That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

Looks like it’s not that easy
As a European it is an option for me

Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!
Great news! Jerboa is fine for now but it definitely doesn’t feel as polished or user-friendly. I’m looking forward to having some more options. I’m following the Artemis development already but I’ll be keeping an eye on this for sure.
Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.
Lmao what? They can’t even stick to their deadline and need to expedite the inconvenience?
I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I’m done with reddit.
Sync was Reddit for me.
Reddit dies in my mind when Reddit Sync is no more (I’m gonna patch it with revanced)
If Sync lives on in Lemmy, that’s gosh dang amazing
Jerboa is cool and all, but it’s no Sync :)
Couldn’t agree more!! I’d absolutely love to have sync back!

Awesome news! I used to use Sync daily back when I was on Android, very happy to hear that the users will have some place to go.
I used Sync for years before I moved to iPhone. I would love to get back into Sync, I’m all for this!
Is this going to work for Kbin or do I need a lemmy account?
+1 to this, would rather the app supports logging into a fediverse server instead of just lemmy
Lemmy, kbin, Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Friendica… They all use different APIs, and those APIs need to be supported separately by developers if they want their app to be compatible with all of them.
ernest is talking about changing the kbin API to be more in line with lemmy’s, which would allow apps made for lemmy to also work with kbin, but they wouldn’t, for instance, work with (or possibly even know about) kbin’s microblogging feature.
Let’s goooooooooooooooo
Now I just need RIF for lemmy. Multiple fediverse accounts ie lemmy and kbin on one feed?
Amazing news, I’m ready to make the switch to Lemmy/kbin permanent (although it pretty much is and definitely will be after the API changes kick in).
Let’s be patient with this and not give him a hard time. For those of you who haven’t used Sync before, there was a major update a while back which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus. Please be patient and kind and the result will be worth it!
I used it just some months ago and discovered the best thing ever, care to explain the drama?
It had to do with how the cards were presented and how the quick menu and swipe up/down worked. I preferred the previous way but the new way worked just fine. Just took an extra click to use it how I wanted.
It came down to changing how it looked / worked after everyone was already used to how it currently was. People get upset for no good reason sometimes and this was one of those times.
I’ve used sync for reddit on android for years, absolutely beside myself with excitement
I just discovered it months ago, and it is clearly the best for Android, fuck Reddit, fuck spez and bring it on baby!
Sorry, i have no idea what this is. Anyone able to give me a rundown
Sync is a Reddit 3rd party app.
MVP is Minimum Viable Product.
The lead developer for Sync is going to work on a Lemmy app!
Sync is one of the big mobile apps for reddit that is getting shut down on the 30th with reddit’s API changes.
This is great, i think i used Sync back in the day even bought the pro version, but moved to other open source apps later
