As mentioned before I’m aiming to have something ready in the next 6 weeks ish.

Heading to bed but 3142 signups in 7 hours, LFG!
LFG!
I was wondering why you are “Looking For Group” 😄
Seems like that also goes for “Let’s F****ng Go”
Brilliant, my friend. Thank you for your hard work.
I’m going to throw this link here for you to check out. It’s a table comparing Mastodon apps which already has a big ecosystem on the Fediverse. Maybe you can find some inspiration. :)
Make that 3143 :)
Make that 3144!!
And my… axe?!
And my bow!
And my bow!
Hey! Late to the game, but I’m hoping to sign up too. Is it full? I entered my email and the screen doesn’t do anything after i press “continue”?
Anyways, nice to see you here!
I don’t think it does anything. It’s just taking emails so when it does release, you’ll be notified.
It doesn’t work on Firefox…
hey man you deserve it
Ready for the pro version ❤️
Somebody pls find spez’s mail and use it to subscribe 🤣
I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active
Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it’s much smoother than Jerboa.
Just be mindful of the default ‘All’ view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can’t interact with instances that you aren’t logged on in.
Instead change it to be ‘All@lemmy.world’ to use it as normal.
Thunder is likely the closest to sync
This. In case anyone is wondering, here’s the link as it’s not on appstores yet: Thunder
Thanks!
You’re welcome, people never seem to provide links to where these apps can be found, glad to help.
Honestly I have mixed results and opinions with both Jerboa and Liftoff… Liftoff, for example, wouldn’t even load a GIF that I posted when Jerboa would.
They currently also both randomly crash on me but I think that’s most likely related to lemmy.world not being on version 0.18+ yet.
My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.
In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.
It’s really fun to try out all these different apps.
Thank you for this.
I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.
And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys
Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.
+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.
Yep, am enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync.
agreed, this is great. Updates keep flowing. A visual separator between posts in amoled mode would be nice but its excellent. Devs should start charging for these already. At least in the settings you can ‘buymeacoffee’ for connect.
I’m trying Connect for Lemmy and it looks very good
I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).
Liftoff also has better formatting options. Here are a few screenshots:
Switched from Connect to Liftoff last week too. Kinda makes sense why it’s a little bit ahead of the curve given that it’s a fork of Lemmur.
I just wish connect had a better icon haha
Can’t seem to log in with Liftoff… it keeps saying that my instance (lemm.ee) can not be found.
I’m not sure what that’s about. I tried with lemmy.one and had the same issue. For me it works great with lemm.ee and lemmy.world. Guessing it’s a big that’s hopefully getting worked on.
Your instance seems to use a beta version of lemmy so it’s possible there are API changes that make it incompatible with some 3rd party apps. Either that or the instance is being hosted behind cloudflare and the operator have strict anti bots option enabled (traffics from apps is almost similar with bot traffics). If yo ask your instance’s admins, they might be able to do something about it.
I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don’t fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I’d like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it’s getting a bit small.
Connect is the best Lemmy app out right now. Great features, look, behavior, and the dev is very quick with responses and updates.
The swipe gestures can be improved, but Connect is pretty good for an app this early in development.
Connect is great. It can hide read posts. But I miss Syncs feature to swipe to hide. That was the killer feature that made me stay with Sync for reddit.
I’m switching to Lemmy because Sync is making the switch
Same. Getting that confirmation a little while made me decide to try lemmy out at all
Yeah I’m new here and all, but definitely curious to see what Sync does for it.
I’ve paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I’m so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.
Thanks for y’all you do!
When people see the apps being released for another platform. Ppl will use the platform because of the app.
Can’t wait. I’m basically off reddit now cause your app doesn’t work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.

As so many others have said, their app of choice WAS Reddit, and Sync was Reddit for me. There’s some good Lemmy apps out there, but my muscle memory misses Sync!
Care to recommend some of the best lemmy apps, according to your experience? So far my favorites are liftoff and connect. Until sync comes out, that is! 😄
Just got Connect.
It has been very close to Sync.
I never used a third party app but I’ll give this a spin lol.
Sync for Reddit was top notch. The official client felt like a joke app after using Sync. Hopefully the Lemmy version will be the same.
Do you even know why we are using #lemmy and #kbin if you have never used a third-party app?
e: My fault. I thought most people would have migrated already during the blackout. But people kept up hope. Anyway everyone is welcome
A lot of people learned about third party apps from the protests, and knowing how shitty a thing Reddit was doing decided to stand in solidarity and quit Reddit with us.
So please, no need to sound so condescending, it’s pretty obvious what’s happened here and they clearly do know. Otherwise they wouldn’t be here.
You don’t have to use the third party apps to know what reddit is doing is fucked up. I never used a third party app, nor did I use a moderation bot. Not to mention people could never have used Reddit before and still use lemmy
That’s really shitty man, lots of people use Reddit primarily on browser but nowhere does that suggest those users don’t know what the fuck is going on…
Is it possible to exist on Reddit right now and NOT know what’s going on is my question lmao
Isn’t browser technically third party app?
joking aside, some of us used Browser andold. reddit.com.
BTW I’m now using Firefox to access Lemmy as well.
I’m also using Firefox to edit all my reddit history on second device as of now.
I didn’t leave reddit because I couldn’t use third party app or mod tools, I left because I got fed up with being “noise” and taken for granted. Also I dislike monopolistic corporation behavior . They ruined gaming when I used play, they spy on every step I take and want to control everything I bought as they see fit.
Are you seriously fucking trying to gatekeep the fediverse? JFC get a life fam.
Isn’t the fediverse enough in itself to warrant a switch to kbin or Lemmy?
Although, I do admit that Reddit’s shitty handling of the community and third-party apps pushed me over the edge.
Hell yeah! Sync is the reason I joined the fediverse when I heard you’re making an app. Been a loyal user of your reddit apps since the beginning, there is no comparison it was the best! Can’t wait to see how this project matures. So far, seems to be much better than other social platforms simply because it’s decentralized and all the benefits that brings. Things are looking promising and I, for one, don’t miss reddit at all!
I’m curious how many signups you already got. Your app will skyrocket to the top in seconds once released.
7k
7,001 now that I’ve seen the sign up.
Well I can’t register my email any more so I think it must have been a lot.
Edit: doesn’t let you with ublock enabled.
Yeah, same. Too late to the party, I guess!
Signed up for Lemmy just because you’re developing an app for it @ljdawson. Can’t wait.
“Sync” was the first search term I used in the fediverse!
We all believe in you, u/ljdawson!
Same - got the notification from the app and started checking things out - account created a few minutes later :)
Boost4Lemmy already put a placeholder into Google Play store so people can get notified when a first build drops.
Doing the same with Sync4Lemmy would be a good idea…
I saw this and thought the same too. It’ll help promote to other users not following all the drama.
And some kind of placeholder/notification for anyone who opens the now defunct apps
Can’t wait to buy a lifetime license!
I’ll go wherever Sync goes. It was my favorite mobile client for any social app, regardless of the platform. Lemmy it is!
Anecdotally, I haven’t logged in to Reddit in more than a month now. It’s refreshing!
This. Sync was so nice to use that I find myself trying to use all the swipe actions sync had in all of the not so good lemmy apps currently available. None of them are as polished as sync was (and hopefully the lemmy version will be).
I settled on Thunder for now, but it’s still falling a bit short. Some of the navigation is a bit broken IMHO - e.g. opening an external link and coming back keeps bringing me back out of the post back to the frontpage. But it’s the least annoying I could find. Tried Jerboa, Connect and another one before this one. Really happy to see Sync coming to Lemmy though!
