How do universal subscribe links work?
Would be great to have other mobile apps fill the gap, so that the devs can focus more heavily on the main site instead of Jerboa.
FWIW, I highly doubt the devs are focused on anything but the Lemmy API right now. In fact, I also doubt they’ve slept in a month.
This is absolutely fantastic news! Sync was pretty much my only way of browsing reddit for a long time. This should make the transition much easier.
BTW: Hi everyone, that’s my first comment on Lemmy!
Man, I know it’s a different app but I’d be so thrilled if the Boost dev decided to jump ship and make a Lemmy app. I tried so many reddit apps and Boost ended up being everything I wanted and more.
The more, the merrier!
We did it
RedditLemmy!Of course Reddit wants you to either sign in or use the app to view the subreddit. I’ve never used any 3rd party app for Reddit, using Jerboa currently for Lemmy. Curious what Sync will bring!
I’ve been using Sync since 2016. This is incredibly good news.
This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!
im on iOS but this is amazing!! i was on android for a long, long time and Sync was my go-to. Thank you, Laurence :D
Yeeeessssss! <3
Awesome. I uninstalled Sync after they stated it would be going down on July 1st because of the updates. It was the a great app. Looking forward to this.
Doesn’t look like Boost is happening as of now, as per the developer.
That’s too bad, I moved to boost from sync awhile ago because I didn’t like the way the dev of sync was constantly changing the ui and then announced he was going to put some future features behind another (subscription) pay wall, despite being told when you buy the app thst you’d have access to all development features.
what is sync for lemmy?
Sync for Reddit is a very popular Reddit client. This is the Lemmy version.
That’s great. I hope more reddit clients become lemmy clients.
But what does it do?
It’s an app that lets you view and comment on lemmy (previously Reddit) on android with a very smooth and versatile interface. Lots of great tools for customisation and feeds.
You should be able to group communities together and hide already read posts. Lots of theming and other things as well.
may it be usable without play services
request that he release it on Fdroid!
