Fledgling community over at https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy too although it's not official.
Show threadCletusVanDammeJun 20, 2023
I believe the "official" community is at https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
Sync for Lemmy - Lemmy.world

This the one issue I have with Lemmy, which one is the right one?
Show threadMeowdyPardnerJun 20, 2023
In my view this is hardly different than someone making r/LemmySyncApp when the official is r/SyncForLemmy. You just have to check both and see who the mods are and whether they have official looking pinned posts. There's no silver bullet - it ties into the larger digital identity and authenticity problems that people have been trying to solve for online identities since forever.

That makes sense, thank you.
Show threadsdlesionJun 20, 2023
Yesssss let's make it happen! Pro version will be a day one purchase once it is available.

I'm stoked as hell, Sync was my reddit app of choice. I bought Pro, Dev, and Ultra throughout the years, just to support Lawrence.

Does Sync have a Lemmy presence? I can't check the subreddit since I don't have the reddit app. 😑

Check current update to the above post.

Sync is a great app and will be great for Lemmy.
Show threadnepenthesJun 20, 2023

Agreed, I used Sync for 10 years.

I haven't been to reddit since the strike, but just went to view this post: Looks like reddit is trying to suppress this announcement on mobile (of course) with a massive popup that won't let you view it You can get around it by viewing as desktop though.

Sync is soooo aesthetically pleasing. (I'm a sucker for full MaterialYou implementation) I'd love it if I could continue using it on Lemmy, and would happily pay a second time.
Show threadkratoz29Jun 20, 2023
Imagine the smoothness of Sync for Reddit while surfing through the Fediverse.... Not my proudest bonner.
Show threaddarkkiteJun 20, 2023
the backend for lemmy would have to get a lot more reliable, but i get you
Show threadgun/linuxJun 20, 2023
Material design is one of the main things I think about when looking for an app
Show threadSpiritreaderJun 20, 2023
That is absolutely fantastic news!
Show threadSpezCanLigmaBallsJun 20, 2023
Just in time for my morning nut
Show threadmissingnoJun 20, 2023
Hope it can also support kbin.
Show threadMeowdyPardnerJun 20, 2023
I would expect it to go similar to how many mastodon-related projects have somewhat mastodon compatible APIs and some apps can handle basic functionality across several platforms. Probably for the best to still make small modules for each one to handle differences but it seems very feasible.
Show threadcultsuperstarJun 20, 2023
Me too. I actually have accounts on both but I prefer Kbin.
Show threadDrewskiJun 20, 2023
The more the merrier, but I'll only use open source apps on my device.

Sync was my weapon of choice for Reddit. I will be so happy if ljdawson develops it for Lemmy!
Show threadpenguin_knightJun 20, 2023

I bought sync for reddit, best money I have ever spent.

I will also buy sync for lemmy

Show threadClbullJun 20, 2023
Jerboa is pretty dog crap, so having Sync or Apollo switch to supporting Lemmy, Tildes, Kbin, etc would be great.
Show threadGuest_UserJun 21, 2023
Disagree, Jerboa is actually pretty damn good. Some QOL updates are needed sure, but over all it's good.

And the author of Boost, my reddit app of choice, appears to be considering too :D

Oh man, if he makes boost for lemmy it will really complete the package for me.
