Commenting works though!
Good stuff!
Just checked I can only pre-register
You might be on a wait list because of the amount of traffic using the app today. I got in because I signed up 12 hours after they announced Sync on the Play Store.
Yeah was like 5mins after I posted that comment it became Available for me.
Scratch that, commenting from it now
This is definitely my favorite Lemmy client so far!
Can someone check and let me know if it supports marking read on scroll like Sync for Reddit did and Voyager does?
It does.
Most people don’t post. I’m glad the basics are working butter smooth
Very exciting.
Couldn’t log into .world, but could at lemm.ee. Having a nice browse as we speak!
The .world issue is likely Lemmy related as lemmy.world had lots of issues today.
So much better than jerboa
Looks good
I don‘t know what sync for lemmy is. And at this point, I‘m afraid to ask!
Sync for reddit was a great 3rd party app for browsing reddit. Since 3rd party apps were ousted from reddit the dev repurposed his app for Lemmy. I’ve been using it today and so far it is fantastic. There are some ads, but at the moment it’s the best Lemmy app on the market as far as UI goes imho.
Thank you! Maybe it‘s worth having a look once it ports over to ios
sync will be android only, same as the reddit version I believe
They was an iOS beta of I remember correctly.
yeah if I recall that was created by someone else with LJs blessing to use the sync name/code… so it may or may not be the same to how sync by LJ would be maintained… don’t think anything ever came from that though but as I don’t like IOS, I haven’t really followed it :/
Oh god it feels good to be back.
And i restored the settings from a backup i made from the reddit client. 😅
Oh man, did that work? I was going to do that, but I thought, nah, they’re unlikely to be compatible! Amazing.
Yeah it worked for me i restored the backup file and my app was automatically setup just like the reddit one. What i did was to logout my reddit account before backing up.
I did it and my app keeps crashing.
the app feels really premium than any lemmy app I tried but the ads are a deal breaker for me. I would definitely consider purchasing it to support the developer but I can’t pay monthly just to browse lemmy. Sticking with voyager for now
Can I ask where you’re seeing ads? I’m using Sync now, and I haven’t seen any. What sort of ads are showing?
i have them but half of the time is just a gray box. I’m in the EU
Are you in the EU? I was curious and I don’t have ads in Europe.
I’m in Europe and I had ads, but my dns ad blocker blocked them.
Think my DNS is blocking them too, keep seeing comments about ads and I haven’t seen a single one lmao
Same here - but I’m also feeling a little bad about it. Every other app? No problem with ad blocking, but i would actually like to support sync.
I’m in the UK, so (sadly) not the EU anymore… :-(
:'-( Are you seeing ads over there?
Not so far - I’m not even sure where they would be or what type of ad. Full screen? Top banner? Ones that look like posts? Weird!
Oh, yeah theyre meant to be sandwiched between posts. Mines just an empty rectangle with text though
Oh ok, thanks. Not sure why I’m not seeing them. Oh well!
I’m using Infinity now. I was a sync pro user and the ads, tracking and subscription are a nope to me as well
Sync Pro is back now. At a bit of a premium, though, 15€ IAP.
Which is okay imo. For that the app will probably be maintained for a long time.
I sure hope it will, but there’s no guarantee. This is still a much smaller and quiet different audience than Reddit’s and this might not be worth the effort for ljdawson in the long run. Heck, there were times when he paused development of the Reddit client despite its far larger reach.
I’m honestly a little shocked by the amount of open hostility he got all over the Fediverse for simply offering a premium/ad-supported/closed-source-client.
I’m a little hesitant to pull the trigger on this one, 15€ is just a tad over the pain threshold for an app with an unknown future and there’s still Boost to look forward to - I’m waiting to see Boost’s pricing first.
Dawson has said that he is currently working on a one time and removal option, so you probably won’t have to wait too long.
The option just showed up after the most recent update
Where can I find it please ?
On the top left, directly under your account settings
Seen, thanks. Too expensive for me unfortunately (22€ !)
Interesting. For me it’s only 15€ 🤔
Different countries different pricings maybe ?
I’ve been waiting for sync to be ready on lemmy and installed it as soon as it was. I got an ad preferences thingy and thought “fuck it, the guy got sync of the ground for lemmy in just a few weeks” worth £15.99 for the annual sub to ultra IMHO. Been using sync pro on reddit for years of the back of a tiny one of purchase. I figure for the hours I used it, he deserves more than I paid and I’m more than grateful that sync is back.
And now I can completely leave reddit!
It’s crashing for me after I open the app a second time :(
