Sync for Lemmy signup is now open - Lemmy.world

As mentioned before I’m aiming to have something ready in the next 6 weeks ish. Register your email to get notified when the app is ready to launch!

Heading to bed but 3142 signups in 7 hours, LFG!

Brilliant, my friend. Thank you for your hard work.

I’m going to throw this link here for you to check out. It’s a table comparing Mastodon apps which already has a big ecosystem on the Fediverse. Maybe you can find some inspiration. :)

Hey! Late to the game, but I'm hoping to sign up too. Is it full? I entered my email and the screen doesn't do anything after i press "continue"?

Anyways, nice to see you here!

I don't think it does anything. It's just taking emails so when it does release, you'll be notified.

It doesn't work on Firefox...

hey man you deserve it
Nothing happens when i press the 'Subscribe' button after writing in my e-mail address. Might be on my side the problem is.
For me it says "Thanks for subscribing"
Ok. Gonna try to do that on my phone now.
I bet you that you're doing it through one of the Lemmy apps like connect for Lemmy of liftoff? I've noticed links don't do shit on these apps.
Both 'Microsoft Edge' and 'Mozilla Firefox' on my computer and 'Samsung Internet' browser and 'Lemur Browser' on my Android smartphone failed to register my subscription. So I had to to use an app on Android called 'Flyperlink' which created 'Bubbles' like Messenger does for each web page you open before I got it to work.
Damn, that sucks. Lol
Did you try a private tab?

Nice, subscribed already!

Day one purchase regardless of the initial feature set or bugs, that's how much I trust this app.
Awesome news, good luck with the work!
Cool! Will it be on FDroid?
Probably not. Sync for Reddit also isn't FOSS
What about kbin?
I don't think kbin has an API yet, but hopefully we'll get it soon!
Artemis for kbin in development and the Alpha is looking clean. Not sync but hopefully support added in future
Artemis is scraping and using their own temporary API, which probably can't be expected from most devs. Once the real API is ready we'll see more kbin support.
Thanks for info! Sounds like a lot of work..impressed by the speed they are pulling it together honestly.
Yup! I use Kbin instead of Lemmy, so a lot of the work was for my own benefit :)
As so many others have said, their app of choice WAS Reddit, and Sync was Reddit for me. There's some good Lemmy apps out there, but my muscle memory misses Sync!
Care to recommend some of the best lemmy apps, according to your experience? So far my favorites are liftoff and connect. Until sync comes out, that is! 😄

Just got Connect.

It has been very close to Sync.

My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.

In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.

It's really fun to try out all these different apps.

I'm trying Connect for Lemmy and it looks very good

Thank you for this.

I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.

And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys

Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.

+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.
The swipes can be improved, but Connect is pretty good for an app this early in development.

I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).

Liftoff also has better formatting options.

Switched from Connect to Liftoff last week too. Kinda makes sense why it's a little bit ahead of the curve given that it's a fork of Lemmur.
I just wish connect had a better icon haha
I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don't fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I'd like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it's getting a bit small.
Yep, am enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync.
agreed, this is great. Updates keep flowing. A visual separator between posts in amoled mode would be nice but its excellent. Devs should start charging for these already. At least in the settings you can 'buymeacoffee' for connect.
Connect is great. It can hide read posts. But I miss Syncs feature to swipe to hide. That was the killer feature that made me stay with Sync for reddit.
Connect is the best Lemmy app out right now. Great features, look, behavior, and the dev is very quick with responses and updates.
subscribed! though i do hope other app developers keep on innovating their apps in the meantime (liftoff is kinda weird but im getting used to it)
Somebody pls find spez's mail and use it to subscribe 🤣
Does the 6-week countdown start now or when it was first announced? lol
It's not so much of a count down as a rough guess... Which means you could take it to mean 6 weeks from either :)
Done! Cannot wait!
Done and done! I am pumped!!
Incredibly hyped. Sync is the only reason I've been able to use Reddit for yeeeears, and seeing it moving to Lemmy really sealed the deal
omfg!! THIS IS AMAZING!
How do I register?
There’s supposed to be a email entry field and subscribe button below the text paragraph, maybe try a different browser or internet connection?
