“Sync for Lemmy is happening!”

81 comments

- Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.
  
  This is how I've been thinking Lemmy can scale. Sync can host their own instance funded by premium subscribers. In other cases, a group of friends with common local interests can host an instance with their local channels plus caching posts on other instances, and peoppe could connect to that or lemmy.world for free and see the same content.
- Man, I love sync and can't wait to continue using it.
- SHIT. THIS IS AWESOME !!!

Happy for Android users, but for those that don’t know, on iOS, we have three apps in beta we can download, and all three are very good with the current state they are in. I suggest giving anyone of them a try.

- Thank you for sharing this! I was searching for an iOS app.

What do we have to do to convince Christian Selig to make Apollo for Lemmy?
- Try wefwef, it’s very similar to Apollo
- I already pay for Apollo, I'd happily keep paying for Apollo for Lemmy, I'm sure tons of users would.

It's nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won't end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.

This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.
- I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.
  
  Which one was that?
- My first smartphone ran Android 2.0 and back then apps were developed for iOS first. How the times have changed.

just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA ("install" lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)

You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.
- And Jerboa probably won't be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.
  
  Is jerboa first party?

The official community is on Lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
There's also a subreddit r/syncforlemmy
I dare say he'll be wanting to get out a functional app before implementing things like support for Kbin. But it's worth requesting it. If enough do so, perhaps the more priority it will get.
- Your url is a bit messed up. See my comment's source for how to format your url.
  !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

I always used RIF for reddit but I'll definitely give Sync a try if this actually ends up happening
- Fwiw, the dev for RIF has announced they're going to be making an app for Tildes.
  
  How do we get them to make Lemmy Is Fun?

I'm totally here for it. Mobile web PWA via Native Alpha Plus works best at the moment.

What about Sync for kbin?
- They're federated so it shouldn't really matter that much?
  I guess we could do KiF once the API is read/write...
  
  IIRC, there are some slight differences in API so Jerboa doesn't work on Kbin. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Been using sync (paid) for over 10 years, will instantly buy a Lemmy version
- I've never used sync, what makes it compelling?

Just waiting for Christian to announce he's rewriting Apollo....
- Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening
  
  That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.
- After everything that happened, let the man enjoy his forced vacation for like a year before going back into the fray.
