    This is what I want. Can’t wait. I have been a sync user all these time until it was closed.

    Anyone else noticed that Connect for Lemmy has just changed its design? Feels like it’s taken a lot of “inspiration” from Sync…

      I remember the dev of connect was in this community praising sync a little while back so I’m not surprised.

        Connect dev here - I am! Big fan of Sync (which probably comes through in Connect’s design language). RIF and Infinity is also a source of inspiration.

          I like Connect, thanks for your efforts!

          Using it right now in fact. If I reply multiple times, I’d like to report a bug where sometimes it posts comments multiple times.

    Can’t wait to delete all the other lemmy apps I’ve been trying. Most do most things well, but none do everything well like Sync.

      Tbd, not saying it wont be good. But will temper my expectations until I see the app and how it feels.

        It’s the same UI experience as the reddit version so I don’t see any reason to not be excited about it.

          The problem is that there are some issues which will not be solved by the app like links to posts on another instances

                Idk, that’s one pretty minor inconvenience imo. I wouldn’t be surprised if the links can be corrected by the app anyways since there are some browser extensions/scripts that can do it on desktop. It’s not an unsolvable problem.

            In a browser this can be solved with a userscript. Could the same be done within an app?

      Ditto for Japan. Assuming that it needs to proliferate through the ecosystems though. Copium? 🤣

      Edit: try opening through an external browser if you’re using another application (Connect, for me). After I used Brave proper, I was able to see it, despite not being able to find it on the play store yet.

    Oh shit, everyone this is big. This is the big one. On reddit, Reddit WAS Sync. It was why I started using reddit in the first place.

    Now, Lemmy is Sync. Lets gooo

        I tried jeroba and connect but ended up sticking with jeroba. It’s not too bad and I didn’t want to spend a lot of time trying different apps only to inevitably switch to sync lmao.

          Yeah, I literally just installed the first 3 apps that didn’t look like garbage I could find, tried them doing the same couple of interactions (navigating links/threads/comments and actions on those things), deleted the two I liked less. I knew I’d just inevitably go back to Sync, so just taking the one that’d infuriate me the less in the short term does just fine. My 10th anniversary on Reddit was just around the corner. I’ve been using Sync pretty much since day 1.

      Alright, alright, keep your pants on. Sync wasn’t what I used but I’m glad we’re getting a premium developer too.

    Exciting news, though honestly I’m blown away by how good the Wefweg/Voyager PWA is. I’m still gonna give sync a shot to see how it feels but shoutouts to the Voyager devs for making me hesitate.

    I’m 100% in. For +10 years Sync was one of the highest quality apps on my phones now that I think about it.

    Just says invalid login. I copy pasted from my password manager so no, I didn’t get it wrong.

        I am, look at my username.

        I figured out it’s because my password is too long. I changed it to something shorter, and now it’s fine.

    Anyone else also feel like we’re finally going to be able to use Lemmy as intended?

    Combined with lemmy.world’s recent server fixes, I finally feel like Lemmy is about to be ready for its next big step, with Sync leading the charge.

    Great, im looking forward to it. But i do feel like the colors of the arrows in the app logo should be reversed to match the lemmy up/downvotes.

    I used to use Sync for Reddit for years, but I use Jerboa now.

    What does Sync offer over that?

    • @[email protected]

      Plenty of small quality of life features that sync for reddit had which jerboa doesn’t. Posting from alt accounts from the comment window, extensive customization options, material design UI, different themes and settings for different accounts, and plenty of others that I don’t remember off the top of my head.

      Jerboa is by no means bad but as a long time sync user, I’m really excited to have the familiarity of sync back.

        Jerboa is my winning app since I signed up to Lemmy. However, I’m still not totally pleased with it and find myself switching between that and thunder. I’m excited Sync is coming here and I’ll definitely preregister but I’m pining for my previous Boost

        Can’t say I’ve had that. But then maybe that’s a server related issue and the bit of the fediverse I’m connecting to is more stable.
