Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore

Infinity, Dawn, and Slide have all been picked up by other developers to make Lemmy versions.

Know if there is an iOS version?

I'm telling you know mate, once you try sync connect will go straight in the trash. It's beyond incomparable.

Hear hear!

I am one of the user that switched over to Lemmy, just because of Sync. I heart about Lemmy when I opened Sync for Reddit in July, when it wasn't working anymore. But app showed a message, that Sync for Lemmy is comming. So I created an account on Lemmy. Regarding automatic update over old Reddit app I don't think so. I think it has different package name than Sync for Reddit.

A few of the big third party developers on android have started work. Boost, Slide and Infinity are some others.

Who would have thought that pissing off a bunch of really experienced excellent app developers would mean they'd throw their talent into making apps for your competition.

If you liked Apollo give Voyager a try, they made it to look and feel very similar. It's a WPA so it's cross platform and there's no app store involved.

I've been using liftoff - much better than Jerboa, which crashed frequently and was nowhere as smooth.

voyager lemmy is comming soon, I saw a picture and it looks promoting!

I'm in the same exact boat as you friend, used rif for basically a decade. I've been using Jerboa as well, it's alright but I know what you mean, not the same. I have heard a lot of good things about boost, they're still finishing up their app, you can find it in the app store and pre-register now. I'm hoping that finishes soon and can fill that void, it looks like it can be customized to look kinda similarly to rif.

I always used RiF and never tried any other third party app because I didn't feel the need to. Coming to lemmy I tried every alternative I found and stayed with Voyager (formerly wefwef). It's a WPA inspired by the defunct Apollo client for reddit and I'm liking it even more than RiF, although it's quite different. Being a WPA streamlines the development and it shows, it reached v1.0 a few days ago. Jerboa was ok when it was the only alternative to plain web interface, but right know is quite behind imo.

I've been using Connect, which is much more polished than jerboa. As a sync user for almost a decade though, I'll be there day 1.
