Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

The wait is finally over!

Is the launcher icon supposed to have a black background? Is this to distinguish from Sync for Reddit, or is it to indicate that it's a beta? It looks out of place with other icons, so I hope this is temporary.

Works like a charm !

Installed Sync as soon as I could, but went back to Jerboa for now due to lack of a one-time purchase option. Not a fan of subscriptions, I need less of those in my life.

Just a Incredible app It Feel like being back home again and Man Do I miss it. Plus it dodo all over reddit official app and it's just in beta :)

I guess I'll be spending a lot more time on Lemmy now. It's like sync never went away ส˜โ€ฟส˜

Works pretty damn good if you ask me. I feel like I'm using Reddit again ๐Ÿ˜Š

[โ€“] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Looks good so far. Wish there was a way to copy my old Reddit settings to this one. All that muscle memory I'll have to relearn ๐Ÿ˜†

I've never used Sync before. This is an amazing app you have here.

Now lemmy feels like home. Thanks!

This looks like a great app, but the premium subscription model seems really lame. I'm so tired of everyone indefinitely milking users with monthly fees. My last reddit app was a one-time fee, and I was happy to pay that.

So I think there's a one-time fee to remove ads in the next release. Someone said we're just waiting on the google play approval process.

FWIW though, the amount of usage I got out of sync for Reddit, I'm happy to throw the dev some money for a while if it keeps development going. Nice to know I'll be able to switch to non-subscription if I ever want to though

Ah perfect, I restored a backup from reddit sync and it's like nothing changed, I love it! Can't wait to buy the pro version

hell ya! just installed!

[โ€“] danknodes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I didn't see kbin.social in the list of instances when logging in, and when typing manually, it returns an error. I'm still learning lemmy - is there a reason kbin login doesn't work?

Anyways it hardly matters, this acct is fine too and the app is amazing. Perfect timing with RIF now returning Error Forbidden while logged out (officially dead, rip).

Looking forward to using this more, thx y'all

As a Boost user I'm glad this came out first. I was getting tired of waiting for Boost to release a Lemmy app, this one feels much better.

Let's go! First post using sync! Hands down the best client when it came to reddit.

I've tried literally all of them. ALL OF THEM.

For the reddit clients, they came and went, but sync stayed on my phone and I always eventually came back to it. If that's not testament of a phenomenal app I don't know what is. The competition for the lemmy clients is honestly hotter than I expected but sync remains on top. None so far match the level of fluidity, customizability, and polish sync has.

My usage of lemmy went up by 5x today because of this. $99 feels pretty steep, but eh. Add it to the pile. Pretty sure it's over $300 at this point 7 years in. Lol.

To the years of mobile lemmy browsing ahead.
