    I just want to be clear that I’ve paid for Sync in various ways I think 3 or 4 times now and I’ll gladly pay for it again. Jerboa has been at least functional (10x better than when I first started using it a few months ago).

    But it’s Sync I want.

      Honestly I feel like I should donate to Lemmy apps I don’t even use. Sync will likely become my primary vehicle to the fediverse but the fact that I have a choice is the most important aspect. A healthy competitive app ecosystem is essential.

        I ended up buying pro of several reddit apps during my time there just to support the up and coming devs of those apps. Sync will most likely be my daily driver here, but I’d be happy to kick a few bucks towards each of the other Lemmy app devs and buy a pro version. It’s the least I could do to show support for the work they’ve put in so far.

      They’re are also other apps, like liftoff which I think is really good. Also thunder if you’re big on gestures.

        I hope they all succeed! Honestly I do.

        It’s just that, well, I started using Sync morev than 10 years ago. Averaged 1.5-2 hours every single day since then. It’s very much home for me.

        I’m very happy there are other choices and I’m very glad that some people prefer them. But once I learned Sync was coming to Lemmy it automatically earned first dibs on my loyalty.

        I like liftoff, sure, but sync just… Does everything I expect like I expect things to be done.

      Jebora wouldn’t launch on my phone the first time I tried it a couple weeks ago. Downloaded it again today and now it’s my default over Liftoff (which is still a great app). It just gives me the Sync feel. But nothing can beat the real thing so can’t wait.

          haven’t been back since I got the Rate limit message.

          Sync brought me to reddit. I’ll happily follow sync to lemmy.

      Yeah, been hearing a lot of people talk about boost for lemmy, but I’ve always been more of a fan of sync. Glad to see the app is coming along nicely. Actually can’t wait to give them my money

        Is an app for viewing the website. Lots of the apps offered better viewing, filtering and search features for reddit compared to the normal website.

    I’ve gone through the whole cycle of grief with the enshitification of Reddit and finally come out really optimistic about the future of the web.

    Sync for Lemmy is definitely a huge part of that. I’m overwhelmed with how much energy there is behind this.

    Sync was the only Reddit client I could use. Tried all the others but man Sync hit the spot for me. Liftoff is decent but can’t wait for Sync!!

    Also me: “We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!”

    Day 1 purchase when it comes out. I can’t wait!

    Bought Pro when it was Sync for Reddit. I will buy Pro again, maybe even send in a donation. Sync has ruined other apps of its kind for me.

        I’m the weirdo who had 3 different Lemmy apps on his phone trying them all out to see what worked best for me and Connect was definitely one of the ones that stood out. Keep up the good work!

        Thank you for Connect! I was using Join for Reddit, and Connect works like a charm for me. There are a couple of bugs, but I’m happy as can be. I know you work hard on Connect. “Tap tap hold and slide” would be nice for zooming in pictures, btw. Keep up the good work. I’m pretty sure that Connect is the right one for me.

        Using Connect right now. What I really care about is a Frontpage widget like RIF. I’m holding open real estate on the main screen of my Android. Basically the first dev to have that and a decently usable interface (bonus points for a “black” mode) gets the space :)

        I appreciate your work on Connect. I used every lemmy/fediverse app there is on Android and have to say that the experience on Connect has been great. Unfortunately, my loyalty does lie with Sync, and as you said in your comment, Sync still had more features than Connect does currently. I’d be glad to donate for your work and helping me ease into the fediverse while I am waiting for Sync. However, I don’t see an option to donate to you in app or anything like that. If you let some of us know, I’m sure there’d be more people other than myself willing to contribute and show their appreciation of your app.

        Since you’re the dev, maybe you can answer a question I have. I just downloaded Connect and noticed if I select a post from a different instance, it won’t let me comment or anything saying that I’m not logged in. Is that a bug or am I just not doing something right?

          I can comment here using Connect while being logged in on another instance.

          Edit: When you go to the sidebar (Ξ), you should see your account selected at the top. Is it there? Further down, you should see settings. Under settings, you should see your instance selected. Is it the right one?

                I figure out what I was doing wrong. I was tapping on the picture which was taking me to the original URL (which was on lemmy.ml) instead of opening it up through lemmy.world.

                Now I just have to figure out why I can’t see your comment through Connect. I see the comment in my inbox and when I select it I get taken to this post but I don’t see this comment or any of the comments in the chain starting with my original comment. I had to post this reply through the web browser.

      Used Sync forever and with Connect now I feel very much back at home, changed the font size and theme and it feels very similar.

      Still, great that both and others are progressing so quickly, it’s incredible how far Lemmy and apps has progressed in a few weeks!
