Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.

What should make the first release?

Ha ha ha! Spez is really pushing it.

[–] LillianVS@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit... I have learned the following:

  • They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.

  • They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.

  • They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request... That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

Don't tempt me, lol.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That’s how I left Twitter. GDPR request for a full copy of all my content. Then a GDPR request to delete account.

I just want to add that as a European citizen you also have a right to get a copy of all your data, and an explanation how and when this data has been used.

Also, I'm pretty sure that their response "you first have to delete your comments manually" does not comply with EU guidelines.

I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I'm done with reddit.

[–] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sync was Reddit for me.

Reddit dies in my mind when Reddit Sync is no more (I'm gonna patch it with revanced)

If Sync lives on in Lemmy, that's gosh dang amazing

Jerboa is cool and all, but it's no Sync :)

[–] ryknow@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Couldn't agree more!! I'd absolutely love to have sync back!

[–] CletusVanDamme@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Let's be patient with this and not give him a hard time. For those of you who haven't used Sync before, there was a major update a while back which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus. Please be patient and kind and the result will be worth it!

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus.

This is why we can't have nice things.

[–] livingina@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It was so sad because you could tell he put so much work into it. But like a good dev he listened to feedback and ended up allowing it to be customized to how I liked it originally.

Oh god, the loss of Sync was legitimately the straw that broke reddit's back for me. I would instantly pay Laurence for this

Woo! I may actually spend more time on the Fediverse. I was a RiF user, but I'll happily pay for Sync and spend more time here too.

[–] dreamfall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!

[–] Liam_Galt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Great news! Jerboa is fine for now but it definitely doesn't feel as polished or user-friendly. I'm looking forward to having some more options. I'm following the Artemis development already but I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure.

[–] kommanditbolag@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Lmao what? They can't even stick to their deadline and need to expedite the inconvenience?

[–] WheelcharArtist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

give me relay for lemmy and i'm set

Now I just need RIF for lemmy. Multiple fediverse accounts ie lemmy and kbin on one feed?

Wow. Didn't expect this at all. It's definitely one of my fav Android apps, never mind Reddit Apps. The quality of the Sync app is next level and the level of options it had to tweak the layout and style to suit what you wanted was amazing. Really excited for this!

[–] WorldUponAString@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I used Sync for years before I moved to iPhone. I would love to get back into Sync, I'm all for this!

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome news! I used to use Sync daily back when I was on Android, very happy to hear that the users will have some place to go.

[–] RacerRohiero@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes! This is great news. Used sync pro for years. Top app and developer.

[–] ben914@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Would definitely be interested in Sync for Lemmy! I've been switching back and forth from Lemmy's web UI, and the Jerboa app. I like Jerboa, but it has been a bit buggy and in some ways isn't as good as the web UI, and I think the developer of Jerboa is too busy with improving the Lemmy API to focus on Jerboa.

I used Sync for Reddit for a long time, and really liked it. I did eventually move on to Boost for Reddit, but now that I'm moving away from Reddit in general. I'd like to see more options for Lemmy apps.

Wow cant even veiw that page on the web. Go away reddit.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

really excited for this. for me the death of sync is the death of reddit so sync for lemmy means lemmy is my new home.

[–] superspicykyle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sorry, i have no idea what this is. Anyone able to give me a rundown

[–] Dakydd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sync is a Reddit 3rd party app.

MVP is Minimum Viable Product.

The lead developer for Sync is going to work on a Lemmy app!

[–] Master@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sync is one of the big mobile apps for reddit that is getting shut down on the 30th with reddit's API changes.

[–] hschen@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

This is great, i think i used Sync back in the day even bought the pro version, but moved to other open source apps later
