Morning all, Just a quick update to say I’m making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!

I’m so happy you’re doing this! It’s going to be amazing!!!
This is what keeps me going. Your work is so appreciated!
Awesome! Will there be an iOS version later on?
I’m so excited for Lemmy Sync! I’ve been using Sync for Reddit for many, many years and absolutely adore the app - the new app will certainly ease the transition to Lemmy!
Anxiously waits in anticipation
This is great news. I have signed up!
I must say, despite of how awesome Sync for Reddit was, I think we should all try not to go overboard with our expectations of what the first version of Sync for Lemmy will be. This is testing ground for all developers and expecting the same level of polishment that an app had on its 22nd version might be detrimental to the actual experience.
We know what ljdawson is capable of, so let’s support him, let’s enjoy his work (I am sure Sync for Lemmy v1.0 will still be awesome), but let’s also give him time to refine his product on a new platform. I don’t know what is involved in the development of this new app, but I do see some points where all other Lemmy apps are struggling, so I can only assume this enterprise presents some new challenges. It is only fair to give him some room for growth and not expect absolute greatness from scratch.
I’ll bet Laurence is stoked to read: “It’s been 47 minutes since the last update. Is Sync for Lemmy abandoned?” once things are underway
Can’t wait ☺
You should start doing pop-ups daily when opening the app.
Like saying, “it’s no meta Mondays today!”
Or, “new app update features: xyz”
I’ve been using Sync for many years, and I’ll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process… I’ve read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but… if it takes time, I’ll wait, no worries. Or I’ll create another account somewhere else… I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that’s something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I’ll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.
Good night, sweet prince. Not goodbye, only until next time.
Hopefully kbin comparability is an option once their API is sorted
The form didn’t work for me sadly
If you use Firefox, try in a different browser.
Well that’s not great. But I guess that’s it
It’s something to do with the strict blocking in Firefox, and the provider that’s handling the signups.
Don’t worry it’s just for the email reminder, you’ll get the same updates right here on Lemmy.
i was genuinely sad when i saw this.
Can’t wait
Can’t wait! Liftoff is really good, but Sync was better.
