Final comment test to a post. Can you guess what I'm doing tonight?
- Please tell me it's publishing the first version 😘
  
  Getting pretty close...
  Edit: testing editing
- Just let me get my hands on this, don't even care if it's buggy 😅
- Sleep?
- Give lifetime pro ultimate now.
- Playing skyrim?
- LJ I am so hype for this! Amazingly fast turnaround time!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- Testing replying with Sync
  
  It works!

- Mmm! That's the good shit!

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW
- Lol, i miss this type of copypasta

Test comment

I have no idea what this is about, but after reading a bunch of the comments, I'm really excited about it! Now I know how dogs feel when they don't understand anything, but their people are all excited, so they're excited too.
- Sync for Reddit was a very popular 3rd party client for Reddit, as it had a lot of great features and an amazing design.
  Now that 3rd party apps are gone, the dev is making a Lemmy version, and everybody is hyped up for when it comes out.

Niiiice can't wait. When is it expected to release? Even beta or whatever.
- Last eta he gave was 6 weeks and that was a week or two ago.
  
  Yeah I'm perfectly ok with waiting a few more, I miss Sync
- I dunno, LJ just said "soon"
  
  Soon™
  
  Cool

Sync was a godsend for Reddit, used it daily and honestly can't wait to give the Lemmy flavour a try!
Using Connect at the moment and it's far from bad to be fair
- That's where I'm making my temporary home too. But we all know it's over once sync is out.

This is the experience I've been missing on lemmy. It's so much more refined look than a lot of the "reddit+" feeling apps I've been using.

Ooooh baby now thats erotic
- Why isn't this marked NSFW?? I'm going to get fired for this

Will be buying this on day one. Thanks for keeping on, LJ.

Looks awesome, I wish he developed for iOS also. Loved Sync in my Android days.
- How's memmy or wefwef?
  
  Memmy is very good, I’ve been using it as my main. Thunder also looks promising, testing that out now. Wefwef is nice but has no compact view so I haven’t used it much. It’s impressive how well it works for being a web app, but I need a compact view to actually use it.
  
  +1 for Memmy. Love it -> !memmy@lemmy.ml
- There has been a test flight version of Sync for Reddit for a while. I still have it on my account, but not sure how updated it really is vs Android.
  So maybe iOS eventually does get Sync for Lemmy as well

Glad to know I'm not the only one checking this community every day waiting for sync!
- You can also join the Discord, the dev is quite active in there.

Yea I've been trying a few apps but nothing hits like Sync did. Definitely day 1 buy

Ahhhh I literally cannot wait

My wallet is ready... I can't wait
- All my Google rewards are belonging to him...

It's really happening 👏👏

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
- My dongers have never been higher.

Why doesn't he post the screenshots here? It's kinda weird.
- I'm just sharing with the discord as I work on features.

  Quick question, how does the upvote/downvote widget look if the instance has down voting disabled?
  
  Can't wait to throw you some money when this baby launches!

Oh my god. I can't stand the suspense. I need it now.
Please? 😬

Someone tell LJ to stop charging his phone
- He might have it hooked up via cable to deploy builds.
  
  Oh true. Development stuff didn't immediately cross my mind even though I know sync for lemmy is still being developed lol.

Hell yeah! I've been looking forward to getting Sync back - gimme that give-a-coffee button!

The bar for Lemmy apps is going to be raised significantly higher once this releases. What we have currently is ok, but there UI/UX of Sync is so much better.

Even Miyazaki is estatic about Sync!
- I heard the new movie is about the story of Sync for Lemmy

Its going to be so nice to have Sync back

Gib. Now.

jesus h christ its happening

Gimmeh!

I will gladly pay again for my sync

My body is ready

This looks really good!! I wish you guys good luck!

Cannot wait for this!
Wish you could make the website look a bit more like old Reddit as well. That would be the dream.
- Have you tried mlmym.org ?
  
  Oh damn this is perfect, great recommendation!

Looks like it's built upon Reddit app giving the versioning
Edit: please see replies for why this is a dumb thing to say ⬇️
- I think that's just the date the version was made? v23.07.14-15:22 -> 7/14/23 at 3:22pm. It probably is built off the old app though
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
  
  It's obvious when you actually see it and say it, and be someone else points out out and then you are like oh yeah..
  
  Best version format.
- I guess it is a date versioning. 23.07.14 is today date.

Holy, it look so similar to reddit sync i love it :)
- Not just similar, it IS the Sync for Reddit with the Reddit part gutted off. Looking at the version number in the screenshot, the last version of Sync for Reddit was also v23. Which means it's going to be perfect.
  
  Fyi, LJ likes using date versioning, so v23 just means the version was made in 2023.

I hope it's better than the ones we have now.

Excited!

I need this now

Will this be available for Android?
- It'll only be available for Android. Sync for Reddit was specifically designed around Android UI elements, and this new version for Lemmy follows the same principles.
- I assume Android as the original was Android first and foremost I believe
- Yes, it's Material UI in the screenshot

Gib

Gimmie please

Exciting ☺️

My body is so ready for that experience

Sweet, thanks!!!

I'm so excited. Hope we're close

OH MY

I'm looking forward to seeing the final result, seeing so many of the third party apps moving to Lemmy has been really inspiring.

Holy shit yes!

My body is ready. LET'S GOOOO

Am I the only one that thought that lemmy logo looked like a seal staring at you?
Also thanks for keeping up this great work, looking forward to having Sync again.
- I'm not the developer of this, ljdawson is. I just posted a screenshot he shared in his discord.

Can't wait
