        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

    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.

      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 :)

    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.

      +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.

    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!

        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.

      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.
