Afternoon all,
Sync for Lemmy (Android) is now available for pre-registration on Google Play.
I’m currently working with 100 internal testers to add the final parts / resolve any issues and should be ready to go live within the next week.
I’ll be emailing everyone that signed up with the previous form today too.
Cheers,
Lj

Yes! Really excited to try it out, have been missing Sync here!
Can’t wait. I missed the reddit sync badly. Excited to use it again.

Registered! Voyager has been good to me, but I can’t wait to use this app again
I was a RIF user. Will I like Sync?
I think so, I like sync because of its massive customisation potential, and it also offered some quick template like way to change them, so it was never overwhelming. You can make sync the way you like it, and I’ve been following the dev for a while as well. Truly passionate fellow.
I guess I goofed the form as I can’t find anything in my email, but I pre-registered through the play store! Super excited.
Will it run without Google Play Services like Reddit Sync Pro did prior to v22?
Edit: answering my own question. Yes it runs on degoogled devices, at least this one with microg.
Its distributed on Google play
Yes, but there are alternative clients like Aurora which allow you to download your apps that you’ve purchased on Google Play. It essentially scrapes the Google Play website to get the apk that you have access to after purchasing.
It’s a different issue than requiring Google Play Services on the device. I think you implemented some new license checking in v22 which broke the app on degoogled devices (just a guess). V19 worked great.
Within the next week sounds much sooner than I though…!
Oh shit let’s go
Oh I know I’m excited! Real quick though: what is it?
It’s an Android app for browsing Lemmy, from the developer of very well-loved app for browsing Reddit.
Amazing, i registered! Is there an expected release date? And thanks again!
Hoping within the next week.
Awesome, you’re the best!
Wow! Congratulations! It’s really weird - I feel like going back to reddit, because it looks and feels exactly like when I used Reddit back when it was awesome to do - through sync… But it’s not reddit. Kinda tells me how much of my “Reddit experience” was actually not Reddit, but sync.
Lol I was thinking just that, myself
Wow, this app is great so far. Thank you!
Welcome back Sync! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Welcome back!

It’s good to be home.
