Successfully viewing this via sync for lemmy for Android
First experienced this beautiful UI on slemmy. Didn’t knew what slemmy is. Now I understand why people are so crazy about it
This app looks and feels super solid. I didn’t use sync for Reddit, but this feels and looks smooth as hell. Secondly going to use this and keep looking to see how all the apps are progressing.
installed… I didn’t realise how much I missed it!
Will it have the same Foldable phone optimization as the reddit version?
The overall UI should be basically unchanged
I would assume. No other app has to my knowledge so it would be a nice killer feature.
Good news for you: [yes].(https://lemmy.world/comment/1003891)
Wait, do foldable phones require their own optimizations? On one hand, cool, but on the other hand, not sure I want one as much now.
The Material Design 3 guidelines expresses how content should flow with foldable with slight differences compared to a tablet, for example:
https://m3.material.io/foundations/layout/canonical-layouts/list-detail
But you can mostly get away with a standard, two-pane layout as you would a tablet, though the center padding may be off.
You probably want the center 24dp spacer to be where the crease is, but it gets a bit complicated if you want to use a Nav Rail since it’ll offset your layout by 80dp. Here is a web based demo of what the configurations can look like.
Yes and no. For some apps, the developers have it set to scale to larger screens or have a certain layout when it detects that the DPI surpasses a certain threshold. This is really how they just get all of these apps to scale for traditional smartphones in general since there are many different screens sizes out there. What I’m referencing is that Sync is one of the few apps that goes from a traditional phone app when folded shut, to a dedicated tablet layout when the phone opens. Other apps such as Outlook, Gmail, Relay for Reddit, YouTube, Google Calendar, and some more apps do this as well.
Right now, Samsung’s Foldables have the ability to force apps to expand to the aspect ratio of the inner display for any application. The Pixel Fold, however, doesn’t include this feature so there are some apps that genuinely just stay in a traditional aspect ratio of a smartphone and doesn’t expand to take advantage of the screen real estate on the bigger display (if the developers didn’t build it in). The good thing about this is that for the Pixel Fold, because of the aspect ratio of the inside screen, you can have two regular sized apps splitting the screen side by side and it looks really good.
Google is doing this though to force app developers to start making tablet optimized apps and is even incentivizing developers by pushing their apps to the featured page of the Google Play Store once their app fully supports tablet displays. Apps that don’t make the change however, will have a message displayed for us foldable or Android tablet users that will say something like, “This app may not be fully compatible with your display,” when we go to install it.
A lot of information but yeah that’s the current foldable situation. I’ve been using foldables since the first Galaxy Z Fold and am now on the Pixel Fold. Absolutely love folding devices and will never return to a traditional slab phone.
Just installed it. This is dope! I was a big Sync user on Reddit so everything seems so familiar already.
Oh, this is delicious
If there’s a pro version just like the previous Reddit app then I’ll pay again for this.
Now we just gotta grow this community and put reddit out of Business
Reddit will put themselves out of business, they don’t need help.
Sp3z is no Lukas Matsson. Probably more of a Kendall.
Writing this from sync. Oh my god. The sync experience is back.
I’ve wanted Reddit to burn for awhile. It devolved into nothing but a circle jerk.
Unlike Lemmy where, god forbid, someone has a center or right wing opinion?
Edit: welp…
It’s not just centre or right opinions, anything that’s not full on Stalinist genocide is downvoted and reported furiously. Basically the same shit as on Reddit.
“Why is everyone persecuting me for having a different opinion?!” they cried.
Check out their comment history for context. Such insightful tidbits as “every leftist should be in jail”, “Go live in North Korea”, and my favorite, “wut, are you an idiot?”.
It’s the same shit as Reddit because you’re the same shit on both platforms.
Yeah, if you’re supporting genocidal regimes, go live in North Korea. You don’t belong in a civilised society with such logic.
Clearly someone who disagrees with you or calls out your…checks notes… bad behavior must support genocidal regimes. It’s only natural!
Why is it those who make arguments about logic so often are completely lacking in the ability to use it?
Good thing Lemmy instances aren’t made from much smaller communities where everyone has more or less the same opinion…
Unless Lemmy would be considered more of an echo chamber for their respective communities versus a circlejerk?
I’d argue that individual instances aren’t all that important. Im on a smaller instances and hardly ever bump into people from my own instance.
When instances start defederating and closing some instances off, I could see, but even then those users would just make another account elsewhere to participate in the “all” of lemmy
I hardly bump into people. Period. Most I see are posts with zero engagement
It took like 12 years for reddit to become full circle jerk? Maybe we get a good 7-10 from lemmy
Dicks out
I’m so fucking happy right now. LJ - you are the best.
the hype!
Fantastic application and I’ve been waiting since I heard about it, thanks!!!
