Morning all,

As the July deadline approaches I've been considering working on Sync for Lemmy.

So I thought I'd start by trying to gauge interest and start a general discussion.

Cheers,

Ljdawson

Still holding out hope that it will be platform-agnostic enough to be used for both of the Fediverse link aggregators: Lemmy and Kbin.

Adding my support for Sync for Lemmy.

This is not the real Sync dev, it's someone pretending to be him. The real account for LJ Dawson is @ljdawson. He confirmed that via his Reddit account. The community he established for the Sync for Lemmy app is @syncforlemmy.

Well... it's a verbatim qoute from the linked Reddit post. I'm guessing the intent was to help people avoid patronizing Reddit rather than impersonate.

[–] onepinksheep@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unlikely, considering they didn't try to clear up the confusion and that they continued replying as if they were LJ Dawson.

[–] chaorace 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hear me out: they have two comments in their history. One is a verbatim quote and the other is a response to the following question:

"Great to see you’ve got an account here. Been a sync pro user for a long long time. How are you finding Lemmy?"

How is this guy supposed to know that the person replying thinks he's ljdawson just from looking at his inbox? Is it really that far-flung to assume that he thought he was being recognized based on his username from Twitter/Reddit?

yooo holy crap, did this guy see my comment?! lmao

[–] thedatabug@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Sync was my app of choice for Reddit. I would love to be able to use it in the Fediverse.

[–] KingStrafeIV@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'd definitely be a happy "Sync for Lemmy" user.

Hi there 👋 I'm enjoying it so far, I'm definitely way more active on here than I probably ever have been on Reddit. Must be something about the small community thing.

[–] drifty@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't think this is LjDawson

[–] m3enzo@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Lol it is not

[–] onepinksheep@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, the post history is dubious. I'll wait for confirmation from his Reddit account, because at least I know that's actually LJ.

Edit: This is not LJ Dawson, this is an impersonator. The real account is @ljdawson, and he created the community for the new Sync app at @syncforlemmy.

[–] Racle@suppo.fi 3 points 2 years ago

Seems like he's discussing it on sync discord
