    I used Sync for years, it’s sad to see it go. There’s no way I’m going back to Reddit’s official app.

    Does anyone mind elaborating why it is/was called sync and what it’s/was used for? Did it sync with anything or is it just another app like Apollo and RIF?

      It originally had a “sync” feature that would download your frontpage and all the comments (and/or other chosen subreddits as well I think) for offline browsing. It was very useful when I used to commute via bus and had a very spotty internet connection.

    Kbin is the step-child, i’m assuming all the devs are seeing the growth in lemmy and haven’t really noticed kbin!

      Kbin doesn’t have an API and so it’s probably less straightforward to dev for. Plus Lemmy is older and more established. I believe ljdawson said in a comment somewhere that he’ll work on Kbin integration somewhere down the line. I think that’s the way it will go for most of the apps.

        I mean it does have an API, it’s just disabled and needs some work.

    and im here praying for Apollo for lemmy. you lucky android users :(

    nuff said mlem and memmy are still some pretty good apps for what they are currently tho (plus they are both inspired by Apollo).

        oooo thanks for showing me that, im currently using memmy as it’s the most apollo-like for me currently but that’s just straight up feels right at home for me tysm

        but i kinda want a native app tho. but oh well, most “native” apps these days are just PWAs in an electron powered trench coat so id maybe it wont be as bad as im imagining rn

          I also want a native app, and have had a similar experience with many PWAs, however this one feels pretty dang good. So at least there’s that!

          You are most welcome! Yeah it’s pretty much a rip of Apollo. I’m hoping the Apollo dev might look into a Lemmy app down the road, kind of the like Sync Pro developers are, but in any case, this PWA has been pretty good to me thus far!

    friendship ended with Sync for Reddit, now Sync for Lemmy is my best friend

    When they say it’s for Lemmy, does that also include Kbin?

      I’d hope so but since they’re built a little different that might require some extra work. I also don’t know if the developers even know of kbins existence since people usually talk about Lemmy when they talk about the fediverse. We’d probably have to bring it to their attention ourselves.

        I’m hoping they develop it for Kbin.

      An animal with a broken charging port. Used my OnePlus 6t forever ago, the port doesn’t work right and there’s no wireless charging

        I used an ifixit Article to replace my pixel screen a while back, I don’t think chargers are too difficult and are relatively inexpensive.

    The sync dev is doing it right by redirecting their users to the next project. Looking forward to sync for Lemmy!

      Hoping the Fediverse can be better synchronized so users can more easily interact between Kbin and Lemmy.

        I haven’t noticed any problem interacting between the two. Is there something I haven’t noticed yet?

          The instances vary. Some are currently federating better than others, the servers that are currently in higher loads are dropping activity more often and not syncing as well.

    I am super excited to have a Sync client for Lemmy. In the meantime the PWA WefWef is pretty dang good.
