Sync for Lemmy is happening: https://www.reddit.com/r/SyncforLemmy/comments/14ee1ul/sync_for_lemmy_is_happening/

[-] Eggyhead@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

For those wondering, there’s an app for Kbin in the works called Artemis.

When I search for it in the kbin subreddit, it looks like the post is deleted. Do you have a link? Very interested

[-] vulfneck@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It's happening:

I'll buy this in a heartbeat but if Relay for Lemmy would happen if be so happy

Former redditor here (as if my username isn't a dead giveaway by itself)

[-] hyperspace@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'd pay again, but only if the app itself is FOSS. Imagine using a proprietary app to browse a FOSS service...

I ain't goin back.

Would be nice if they could reach out here.

I'd be 100% down to buy Sync pro again for a Kbin Sync.

[-] corm@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Same!

I don't see any links to this thread, perhaps someone could link it? And if so, please be vocal about your support.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

For me it opened when I clicked the icon. Anyway:

Nice! Looks like it's happening!

I meant a link back to this thread from the Reddit one so the creator could see the discussion here for those who aren't engaging on Reddit.

If it becomes available for Kbin that would be wonderful...

[-] Mudz@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm assuming it'll be compatible with the fediverse just like kbin+lemmy are compatible

[-] yungsinatra@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The problem is, from what I know, that there's no full API documentation for Kbin available yet, so an app for Kbin is not possible to make now. Yeah, the option would be to create it for Lemmy and then just federate with Kbin.

Wow that would be amazing. I loved Sync. I just hope a toxic community doesn't drive him away again.

[-] tookmyname@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Is Lemmy toxic? I feel like all its shortcomings it’s far from toxic.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The Sync community turned toxic when the dev implemented an updated UI a couple years ago. The new UI was beautiful and much more in line with the evolving visual design of Android, but the average user hates change. The dev version spent a while on the new UI while it was being refined, but the free/pro version was not upgraded until I want to say probably a year or more later, the developer having gone radio silent for a while under all the criticism.
