First screenshot of Sync for Lemmy

This always comes to my mind

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.

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.

Yep, same

Agree 100%

The official Reddit app is complete trash.

Do not underestimate the crazy work you've done with Connect. It is hands down the best client out there, and am incredibly grateful for it

Currently reading this via Connect, and this is a fantastic thing to see. Genuine respect. 🤌🏼

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!

Gotta say as a long time sync user, I just downloaded Connect to try and it's really good! Feels somewhere between Sync and Boost

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.

I'm using Connect now and I like it. It reminds me of Sync. Appreciate your hard work.

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 checked out connect because of the comments here, and I have to say that's it's freaking awsome. Really lives up to the sync feel. Keep up the great work👌

I've been using Connect and love it! Thank you for the work you've been doing and the recent updates have really improved the usability and performance!

Tysm, blocking communities and threads has been crucial thanks to Connect

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.

Thank you so much for your hard work. It's a pleasure meeting you here. Im a reddit refugee and randomly picked an app out of a few options and the improvement has been great.let me know anyway I can support.

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'm using connect and am enjoying it. It works really well. I would like an option to always open links in the system browser instead of the built in one.

Nice work on connect, thanks for all the hard work.

I'm working with wefwef till Boost comes out. I just fell in love with Boost for Reddit and it's similar enough, I'll switch over immediately. There's also Memmy which I would like to try, and it's supposed to be for Android as well, but I can't find any builds and haven't been able to figure out building it for myself

I'm on the same boat, wishing for Lemmy is Fun, but I'm happily using Liftoff. It's not RIF, but it's a very good Lemmy app on its own.

Yo thank you, I was using Connect but this is much better.

They changed their mind apparently: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy.

Why can’t I see register option going to this link ? Is it closed or geo restricted ?

I thought that was a Reddit rule. Today I learnt.

This seems like a good idea, if they monitor that correct

Aha, so that's why "Reddit is fun" changed its name to "RIF is fun"?

Kbin ain't got app yet

Not sure about them, but I use browser on desktop and the progressive web app on mobile generally. Sometimes browser on mobile

Using the date as a version number for an application that gets frequent updates is very standard. Most users will be expected to be on the latest version always.

There's even a website for it https://calver.org

calendar versioning (calver) is not that uncommon actually.

If Connect and Jerboa had a baby it would be perfect.

I'm waiting for Boost, however. I can't wait for a familiar UI with all of the features I consider must haves.

This is how I feel

Comparing is not shitting on.

I'm a fan of FOSS too, but you just can't argue that Jerboa isn't more than a little rough around the edges.

Thunder, Jerboa, Connect - they all evolved a lot in the past few weeks.

One of many good reasons

I just downloaded it two hours ago as well and I’m impressed. It’s open source, it has a very clean UI, and works extremely fast.

Apollo for Lemmy would be awesome!

Unfortunately, Christian recently said that he’s not interested in developing an app for Lemmy.

wefwef has massively helped me in transitioning from Reddit to Lemmy, though, as it’s taken lots of inspiration from Apollo.

This has never been announced or alluded to

I definitely hope so

It was the best hands down.

That's nice and all, but you didn't answer my question lol

I was already sold on it. Now I will download it twice

It was named Reddit Sync before Reddit forced apps to rename a few years back for trade mark reasons.

Sync was named for a feature it had where you could sync posts to your device for offline use. It was super useful as recently as a few months ago when I wanted to mindlessly scroll on a plane.

Who the heck names a company "Apple"? It's just a fruit, what's so significant about it?

It was originally named Reddit Sync but Reddit made him change the name.

Ah ok thanks!
