my body is ready
ljdawson is here to kick ass and take names
This always comes to my mind
Dude what the heck, I was thinking the same while I was loading this post.
My wallet is ready.
I just want to be clear that I’ve paid for Sync in various ways I think 3 or 4 times now and I’ll gladly pay for it again. Jerboa has been at least functional (10x better than when I first started using it a few months ago).
But it’s Sync I want.
Honestly I feel like I should donate to Lemmy apps I don’t even use. Sync will likely become my primary vehicle to the fediverse but the fact that I have a choice is the most important aspect. A healthy competitive app ecosystem is essential.
I ended up buying pro of several reddit apps during my time there just to support the up and coming devs of those apps. Sync will most likely be my daily driver here, but I’d be happy to kick a few bucks towards each of the other Lemmy app devs and buy a pro version. It’s the least I could do to show support for the work they’ve put in so far.
They’re are also other apps, like liftoff which I think is really good. Also thunder if you’re big on gestures.
I hope they all succeed! Honestly I do.
It’s just that, well, I started using Sync morev than 10 years ago. Averaged 1.5-2 hours every single day since then. It’s very much home for me.
I’m very happy there are other choices and I’m very glad that some people prefer them. But once I learned Sync was coming to Lemmy it automatically earned first dibs on my loyalty.
I like liftoff, sure, but sync just… Does everything I expect like I expect things to be done.
Sync is basically liftoff on drugs. Any customisation you want, will probably be available in sync.
Hehe. No pressure @ljdawson@lemmy.world
Jebora wouldn’t launch on my phone the first time I tried it a couple weeks ago. Downloaded it again today and now it’s my default over Liftoff (which is still a great app). It just gives me the Sync feel. But nothing can beat the real thing so can’t wait.
Yep, same
I tapped next. Just practicing.
lmao
They should change the logo so blue is up and orange is down now
Enjoyed sync for reddit for basically the entire time I used it. Excited about sync for lemmy.
Sync = reddit for me, so I’m sad with the forced shut down. I’m ready for Sync for Lemmy!
Agree 100%
The official Reddit app is complete trash.
+1
haven’t been back since I got the Rate limit message.
Sync brought me to reddit. I’ll happily follow sync to lemmy.
Yeah, been hearing a lot of people talk about boost for lemmy, but I’ve always been more of a fan of sync. Glad to see the app is coming along nicely. Actually can’t wait to give them my money

Is an app for viewing the website. Lots of the apps offered better viewing, filtering and search features for reddit compared to the normal website.

That’s where the name comes from actually. It synced reddit for offline viewing.
Relay was my favorite too, RIF before I found relay. I’m enjoying Jerboa right now though
Be a gal or lad and try it when released. Best dev.
I’ve gone through the whole cycle of grief with the enshitification of Reddit and finally come out really optimistic about the future of the web.
Sync for Lemmy is definitely a huge part of that. I’m overwhelmed with how much energy there is behind this.

Sync was the only Reddit client I could use. Tried all the others but man Sync hit the spot for me. Liftoff is decent but can’t wait for Sync!!
The random nsfw function is indeed magic
A screenshot of not much…and I’m excited! 🥳
Me: “Man, why is someone tempting us with a screenshot like this.”
sees who posted this
Also me: “We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!”
Day 1 purchase when it comes out. I can’t wait!
Bought Pro when it was Sync for Reddit. I will buy Pro again, maybe even send in a donation. Sync has ruined other apps of its kind for me.
I threw money at screen and nothing is happening!
Throw harder son! … nickles and dimes start cracking the screen
Difference between it and Connect? Behaves a lot like Sync to me tbf
Connect dev here. I have a lot of work to do to catch up to Sync! Nothing but respect for @ljdawson@lemmy.world
Do not underestimate the crazy work you’ve done with Connect. It is hands down the best client out there, and am incredibly grateful for it
Currently reading this via Connect, and this is a fantastic thing to see. Genuine respect. 🤌🏼
I’m the weirdo who had 3 different Lemmy apps on his phone trying them all out to see what worked best for me and Connect was definitely one of the ones that stood out. Keep up the good work!

I would be even weirder then, because I was cycling through 5 apps lol: Connect, Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff and Wefwef (currently using Wefwef).
Gotta say as a long time sync user, I just downloaded Connect to try and it’s really good! Feels somewhere between Sync and Boost
Thank you for Connect! I was using Join for Reddit, and Connect works like a charm for me. There are a couple of bugs, but I’m happy as can be. I know you work hard on Connect. “Tap tap hold and slide” would be nice for zooming in pictures, btw. Keep up the good work. I’m pretty sure that Connect is the right one for me.
I’m using Connect now and I like it. It reminds me of Sync. Appreciate your hard work.
I checked out connect because of the comments here, and I have to say that’s it’s freaking awsome. Really lives up to the sync feel. Keep up the great work👌
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Using Connect right now. What I really care about is a Frontpage widget like RIF. I’m holding open real estate on the main screen of my Android. Basically the first dev to have that and a decently usable interface (bonus points for a “black” mode) gets the space :)
I’ve been using Connect and love it! Thank you for the work you’ve been doing and the recent updates have really improved the usability and performance!
I appreciate your work on Connect. I used every lemmy/fediverse app there is on Android and have to say that the experience on Connect has been great. Unfortunately, my loyalty does lie with Sync, and as you said in your comment, Sync still had more features than Connect does currently. I’d be glad to donate for your work and helping me ease into the fediverse while I am waiting for Sync. However, I don’t see an option to donate to you in app or anything like that. If you let some of us know, I’m sure there’d be more people other than myself willing to contribute and show their appreciation of your app.
See the bottom of settings in Connect. There’s a "buy me a coffee’ link there 👍
Tysm, blocking communities and threads has been crucial thanks to Connect
Since you’re the dev, maybe you can answer a question I have. I just downloaded Connect and noticed if I select a post from a different instance, it won’t let me comment or anything saying that I’m not logged in. Is that a bug or am I just not doing something right?
I can comment here using Connect while being logged in on another instance.
Edit: When you go to the sidebar (Ξ), you should see your account selected at the top. Is it there? Further down, you should see settings. Under settings, you should see your instance selected. Is it the right one?
Hmmm. I must be doing something wrong then. I’ve only been using the app for a couple of minutes so I’ll have to keep playing with it.
Disclaimer: Sorry for spamming this. I’m not sure how notifications work on Lemmy.

I figure out what I was doing wrong. I was tapping on the picture which was taking me to the original URL (which was on lemmy.ml) instead of opening it up through lemmy.world.
Now I just have to figure out why I can’t see your comment through Connect. I see the comment in my inbox and when I select it I get taken to this post but I don’t see this comment or any of the comments in the chain starting with my original comment. I had to post this reply through the web browser.
Thank you so much for your hard work. It’s a pleasure meeting you here. Im a reddit refugee and randomly picked an app out of a few options and the improvement has been great.let me know anyway I can support.
Glad you’re enjoying it! I’m a Reddit refugee too haha.

I’m using connect and am enjoying it. It works really well. I would like an option to always open links in the system browser instead of the built in one.
Nice work on connect, thanks for all the hard work.

Used Sync forever and with Connect now I feel very much back at home, changed the font size and theme and it feels very similar.
Still, great that both and others are progressing so quickly, it’s incredible how far Lemmy and apps has progressed in a few weeks!
Rendering and customization I’d imagine.
Waiting for **Boost for Lemmy **
I was waiting for Lemmy is Fun, but honestly, wefwef.app is just amazing, I don’t really care anymore.
I’m working with wefwef till Boost comes out. I just fell in love with Boost for Reddit and it’s similar enough, I’ll switch over immediately. There’s also Memmy which I would like to try, and it’s supposed to be for Android as well, but I can’t find any builds and haven’t been able to figure out building it for myself
Memmy
https://lemmy.ml/post/1392824 https://lemmy.ml/comment/1032441
TL;DR: Android build is going to happen, waiting on google.
I expected the Play Store release to take some time, but Android really has no need to go through with that. Just a simple apk file is all you need. You don’t even need to go through the whole TestFlight process on iOS so I kinda wish they had some beta releases by now.
Ya, this is quite annoying. Every other Lemmy app just releases the APK on GitHub.
It’s obvious the Memmy developer is biased towards iOS, which is fine, but it really does feel like Android is an after thought, and in return, the app wont really be best on Android.
Which is okay, because we have a ton of amazing Android apps currently, with a ton more coming.
Same here, Love boost!
I’m on the same boat, wishing for Lemmy is Fun, but I’m happily using Liftoff. It’s not RIF, but it’s a very good Lemmy app on its own.
Yo thank you, I was using Connect but this is much better.
Same. Sync and Boost were my two main apps, and both are getting brought over! It’s really great.
Connect is also really good right now.
Same here. Can’t wait to launch the rocket!
won’t happen sadly…boost dev already said he won’t do anything for lemmy.
They changed their mind apparently: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world
What?! Nice! Didn’t even knew that!!!
That makes me so happy!
Edit: The bot reply is what I was looking for. On wefwef, it will only go to the post, comment or community if you link it like this
