Hey everyone. Happy to finally get this out, it's been one busy month.

I'm looking to add a lifetime option for ultra & option to just remove ads. Keep in mind this is the first release, lots more to follow.

Cheers!

Lj

Oh my god it's beautiful. It's so beautiful.

It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏

For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I've missed it a lot.

Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.

I know it's early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that's needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.

Hallelujah!

Oh and please note that bugs should be reported in #sync-support-and-bugs in the discord: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva or the github.

LJ has been working very hard - this is beta 24 from no betas a week ago.

And again, it is a beta - some features like Ad-free IAP and submissions are not there, but they will be in there eventually.

Game. Changer.

I live my life as FOSS-y as possible.

This is the only subscription that I have. $2/mo or $16/yr is not even a blip on most people's radar.

The OG Sync was the most used app on my phone and tablet.

So download, enjoy, and pay the dev! He's phenomenal, approachable, and transparent. This isn't some Flappy Birds knockoff. This is a polished app that allows us to connect with one another more easily. And I'd like to see what features he comes up with next.

It takes a lot for me to trust an app/dev this much. Hopefully everybody else will too and we can help him do even more neat things.

Please consider offering a one-time purchase option for certain version milestones, maybe hosted on patreon or something if you need.

I don't mind paying to support development, I do mind subscriptions unfortunately.

First order of businesses.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE HOME

My god, it's actually like it used to be. Thank you a million times ![email protected] <3

What the hell, this is so impressive. I'm blown away! Did not expect this kind of experience this fast!

It's a nice app mostly but there's a few things stopping me from loving it currently

• No lifetime license, I refuse to use a subscription service
• list view mode doesn't have the option to have buttons enabled and always showing
• can't disable auto hide of comment actions
• No way to hide viewed posts
• can't highlight and copy text from a comment It just hides content instead (like why?) Only option is to copy all text from a comment but I don't want to copy all just a small selection...
• No option for top bar, only bottom and side

I feel so at home in this app!

Posting from sync, let's go!

I've only had a brief look, but is there a way to pay for pro (but not ultra) so I can remove ads?

Commenting from Sync! I feel back at home.

Firstly, I'm happy to see Sync return.
I made sure to subscribe to help make developing the app financially viable.

Secondly.. With the Sync beta just going live, I'm already running into my very first bugs.
What would be the appropriate place to report these bugs?

Edit: My question has already been answered by OP:

Oh and please note that bugs should be reported in #sync-support-and-bugs in the discord: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva

Hard to describe how good it feels to have Sync back! Was worried the tablet experience would be left behind but it's as smooth as ever. Thank you LJ! Instant subscription, absolutely no hesitation on that one.

Finally, I can ditch Jerboa.

Very nice! Now I can get addicted to Lemmy properly.

ALL HAIL SYNC FOR LEMMY

When I saw the restore purchases, I almost thought I could restore the lifetime ultra I got for the reddit app lmao. Hope there'll be a discount when lifetime gets added for old lifetime buyers :)

The pricing is a bit much, especially compared to other services like Tutanota that actually runs servers and provides a service in addition to developing the applications. $20-$30 for the onetime purchase option would be more sane.

I know I bought Sync Pro for Reddit, but I know that was nowhere close to these prices.

EDIT: Found the Remove Ads option, and that is more reasonable priced.

Why am I seeing ads on Lemmy???

Edit: Looks like it's the app itself. I'll gladly make a one time purchase to remove them if that's an option, but another subscription is a no go for me.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but 22€ for the ads-free option sounds a bit expensive to me. I bought Sync Pro for reddit for 3€ in 2018.

contains adds

contains in-app purchases

collects data

shares data with 3d party orgs

Nothing against sync, but this is not what I'd expect from lemmy app tbh. There's a lot of free open source options that don't sell your data.

Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion

Lol first post under the Sync announcement

Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn't really what I want.

Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!

Wow I can't believe how much smoother Sync is than other Lemmy clients!

Feel just like sync for Reddit :D

Thank you!

On another note will there be the option to purchase sync like it was for sync for Reddit?

I can feel at home again with sync.

Just tried it, looks good!

• So many options, the customability is really nice
• There is a premium option to copy subscriptions between instances (not ready yet).
• Live comment refresh mode
• Default font size could be too small for most people. I switched to Medium right away on a 6 inch phone.
• Sports Mode in comments is a fun feature :)
• Search Comments is really useful, I have missed this in other clients
• It has faster and smoother scrolling of comments than other clients, very noticeable.
• Being able to collapse comments by clicking on the number of comments is very useful.

So many options everywhere, it's a step up from previous clients for sure.

Making this client in such a short time is ultra impressive. Will be worth the money if being on Lemmy a lot, and also just to support developers like this who dare to bet on Lemmy.

It's freaky to see how smoothly Sync lets me hop back into a familiar experience, now on Lemmy. It's so clean and intuitive, no unnecessary crap, I love it. One of the best apps I've ever used, from one of the best developers to grace this cursed earth.

I've never spent $100 on a program before, but I've got a lifetime ultra membership now. Excited to see this app for lemmy!

Everyone is free to do what they want, but with the bugs this has, and the ads it contains, and the high lifetime price, it's a hard pass for me

Biggest improvement for me is toggling Settings shortcut: View type > Right aligned voting

Gonna try to see if I can use backup/restore layout from my old sync 🤔

Would it be possible to utilize the cloud backup/restore feature for previous Ultra users to bring all their settings back? At least for any similar rules?

Just bought the remove ads version. It is very thrilling to be back to Sync! I'm so used to this look and interface after eleven years with Reddit Sync. Lemmy becomes immediately more familiar and friendly to my eyes. I enjoy Jerboa just fine but I guess I am just an old guy set in my ways and this is how my favorite mobile scrolling app should look and behave. Seems great for a beta and I look forward to further developments!

Testing a link

Brilliant - I love that we can see where a text link actually points. It's one of the things I've liked least about Lemmy apps so far, sometimes you're potentially clicking blind.

Oh, and we still have the choice between inline and expanded, fantastic! Settings shortcut: Link handling > Expanded comment links

As a first release this is so much more fully featured than anything I expected!! So impressive thanks @[email protected].

This is fantastic, but I'm not going to sign up for a subscription. I would love to support development and get an ad free version like Pro let me. Will this be coming in the future?

My lemmy experience is exponentially better now, great work! thank you!

Hi, I have one question - on removing ads, are the ads trackers removed? Or will the app just not show us ads but still allow the trackers in, letting the ad tracker owners keep tabs on our browsing and serve us ads in places other than Sync for Lemmy?

Didn't realize how much I missed the slide to upvote. This is great. I know the whole subscription thing but whatever, I don't want ads and it's a tiny yearly payment. I'm in for the year and let everything work itself out.

Feels great.

I feel like LJ should seriously reconsider switching the colours on the logo and up- and downvotes in accordance with Lemmy's layout

A world of difference. What a good day today!

I haven't seen any ads? Am I missing something?

If you pay for Sync, IMO you should give to the instance which hosts your lemmy account as well as to the Lemmy dev(s) (yes Dessalines is a tankie, but you should separate the artist from the person)

I would love to pay for Sync, alas I don't have Google services on my phone. I know this day will never come, but a non Google pro version would be great (some pro versions I bought without Google play: Folder sync pro, Tasker, Fairemail, KWGT, Poweramp, xprivacy...)

The app is really great

This must be the most upvoted post on Lemmy

This is sooooo nice! Really appreciate all the hard work.

Feels like home.

Was about to complain that I was hoping for remove ads version instead of premium sub shenanigans, and ljdawson had already pushed an update.

Take my money 🤑💰

Some things never change 😂 (I know this is not sync's problem).

If there was any chance for me to go back to reddit, it's definitely gone now. Awesome app so far!

I love it. Can't wait to remove ads (because it seems IAP is not here yet?)

This is my first action on the app.

I'm already impressed after having logged in and scrolled 2x screens doomscoll style, how the repeating threads aren't coming up.

I'm sold.

Going to wait just a bit longer before signing up for premium, but that will probably happen before next week.

So exciting! For some reason it says "Coming soon" on my Galaxy Fold tho

Alright, feels like home again!

Great news.

However, I've become partial to having separate accounts across various instances. Sync enforces having separate settings for each account. I can see this becoming pretty annoying. Does anyone else feel this way?

I would love if there was a way to add multiple anonymous instances to quickly switch between! My main account is on lemmy.world but if there was a way to browse beehaw without an account I would appreciate it

I hope this encourages people to support the open source clients too. At least in directing them to improve their features and catch up!

Brilliant work!

Is it on f-droid? I don't have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.

Wow. Even restoring my backup I made with Sync for reddit worked perfectly and now it feels exactly the way I wanted it. I am very impressed how good this app feels.

fuck yeah we back

I have to admit this is amazing. It's like I never left reddit. Can't believe how fast you put this together.

Epic

We that have supported Sync before should at least get pro version with no ads.

Can you make a pro version so I can buy it and send some money your way?

Don't know if the dev will see this, but can you add the ability to go directly to a subreddit (community@instance) or a user (user@instance)?

Soooooooo freaking happy to finally have the tablet setup that I just couldn't seem to find in any of the other Lemmy apps (so far)!!! I can now have three columns and see so many posts with their smaller but still good sized previews! Was curious how much would be different in moving to Lemmy, and so far everything seems to be much closer to one-to-one than I even thought. Very good work! And back on the Ultra sub as well!

This feels like a near 1 to 1 copy of the Sync for Reddit app. And I mean that in a very positive way. Sync got me into Reddit, and I think it can definitely do the same for lemmy. I'm very excited to give this a try.

Fantastic! Great to see this live and I can't wait to check it out and learn more about Lemmy. One question, what is the "restore purchases" option for? Does it look for ownership of Sync for Reddit Pro?

I've been playing around with the different options for Lemmy. This is by far and away the best. I was using Liftoff for a bit, this will be my main.

Why is everyone excited about sync...was it something before?

Oh man the reddit mobile app is awful. Hopefully lemmy takes off because this app is just so good.

Well, that's nice to watch how people switch from reddit to the Lemmy. Foss internet is the best

This is nice, lifetime price is a little steep for me though, I'd buy it for half price

I've been using it the past 30 minutes or so and it's pretty good and very feature rich but I might stick with Liftoff for a while just because I got used to it. Some issues I had with Sync:

1. The default font size is tiny, I had to go looking in the options to increase it.

2. It seems like expanding replies of comments is a bit buggy. It seems deep replies are showing before the comments they're replying to.

3. The UI is pretty overwhelming at first. Feels like there are so many buttons and knobs that do a lot of things, a few of which are redundant. That's definitely just me not being used to it, but that's my first impression coming in from apps like Reddit is Fun which are fairly straightforward.

Only been using it for a couple of hours, but have to say this is a super impressive Beta. Might be my bias towards original Sync, but so far this is easily outdoing the other Lemmy clients I've tried (Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff).

Absolutely unreal how a top tier app can be such a game changer. Fediverse will be bigger than Reddit ever was.

I can post GIFs again! Jerboa didn't allow me to on mobile, which is the only way I use(d) Lemmy/Reddit

And we're back to our regular sync programming, thank you!

sync was hands down the best reddit app. and now, even in early beta, it's already the best lemmy app. lj deserves what he's charging.

BUG: Auto fill Username and Password is putting the username in the instance and leaving the username box blank. Pixel 5a & Pixel 7 Pro.

Device information

Is there a way to export my settings from the Reddit sync to this lemmy app?

Ha, I'm guessing everyone and their dog is trying to download it right now! Just seeing "Pending"... :-)

it feels so natural now... thank you so much ♥️

I miss this so much :)))

Any chance the Ulta purchases for sync for reddit are going to transfer?

Haven't used sync before, but I'm really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!

Some of us don't have Google Play services on our phones, is there a way to remove adds without having to install Google services?

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.

They all try to be the king but the ace is back!

Cozy in here

Just migrated from reddit and writing from Sync. So happy that Sync is back!

I've been waiting for this!! Been using sync for reddit for what feels like a lifetime now. Bought the ad free lifetime version yesterday for Lemmy Sync. I've missed this app! But the honorable mention is LiftOff I'll be leaving it on my phone for a while too.

Day 1 Ultra Sub! Loved Sync for Reddit have been trudging along in kbin and Lemmy while this was being worked on. I am so excited... It feels so familiar! Thank you LJDawson!

A work of art in dark times.

Thanks from saving me from Jerboa!

And I'm commenting from it. So nice to have Sync back.

The wait is finally over!

Now I feel at home

Omg.... I can't even tell you how happy I am about this!! I missed sync. I knew I did, but I truly didn't realise how much I missed it!

This is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work!!

Will there be a sync pro app like before?

This is great. Never used Sync before. Will gladly pay for the app

Typing this from Sync for Lemmy. Love it already! Feels right at home.

I do not mind the subscription costs for the premium version. Yes, in a perfect world a lifetime purchase would be nice. But this isn't a perfect world. Lemmy isn't a casual game that can be considered "done" once it's developed. No, Lemmy and the Fediverse are new and unfamiliar and it is likely there will be significant chances to the ecosystem and this development effort for the developer.

My lemmy usage is about to increase significantly. Thank you so much!

Is there an option to separate the upvote and downvote scores? I've grown used to seeing that distinction on /kbin but it might not be a thing on Lemmy?

Congrats on being first to market out of the other polished Reddit apps who are switching - I hadn't used Sync before (I used RIF, Joey and then most recently Boost) but now I'm committed to Lemmy and already loving this experience!

Thank you!!

10k downloads in 2 days, hot damn.

Hell yeah!!!! App looks sick, this is my first interaction with a Sync product! Runs smooth and gives lots of settings that I appreciate.

Alright post the Murray's

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 😆

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.

Now I can finally try Lemmy. Haven't been on Reddit for ages and Lemmy is all new to me.

Can anyone recommend a primer/beginner post for starting to use Lemmy?

![email protected]

Let me buy this one time please.

Why does it collect User/Device ID, messages, payment history and other data? Is there a detailed privacy policy anywhere?

HYPE! so happy with sync THANKS LJ

Using sync for lemmy now. So far, so good.

Device information

Sync version: v23.08.02-22:21    
Sync flavor: googlePlay    

Ultra user: false    
View type: Smaller cards    
Push enabled: false    

Device: gts7xlwifi    
Model: samsung SM-T970    
Android: 13

Works pretty damn good if you ask me. I feel like I'm using Reddit again 😊

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

hell ya! just installed!

It looks and feels amazing. Thank you for this!

Looks nice and all, but what are those "Sponsored Content" blocks for? Is there going to be Ads soon?

Oh, it feels good to be back in this familiar interface.

Now lemmy feels like home. Thanks!

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

Nice! A post with 1000 replies!

I guess I'll be spending a lot more time on Lemmy now. It's like sync never went away ʘ‿ʘ

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

Works like a charm !

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

I'm using Sync right now, it's working great. The level of polish is evident and much higher than the other currently available Lemmy apps.

This app is great, but the font is a little small

Is there an option to hide text in collapsed comments?

First comment from Sync. Great work Dawson. I will delete all other apps now. Impressive how good this app is already after only so short development time

It's so smooth..

It's so good, my god.

Installed and subscribed. I wasn't a paid user of sync for reddit but I think it's important now.

Catppuccin theme if anyone is interested:

{
"monet_override_light_secondary_text_color" : "#6COF85",
"monet_override_light_primary_text_color" : "#4C4F69", 
"monet_override_light_link_color" : "#1E66F5",
"monet_boost_light_color" : true, 
"monet_override_dark_secondary_text_color" : "#A6ADC8",
"monet_override_dark_primary_text_color" : "#CDD6F4",
"monet_override_dark_link_color" : "#89B4FA",
"monet_boost_dark_color": true, 
"monet_color_intensity": 1,
"monet_manual_theme_color" : "#1E1E2E",
"monet_system": false
}

Yay, I'm able to comment on Sync. Everything's coming up Milhouse!

A "hide after voting" option would be AMAZING

would be very cool if this let you log in with a Mastodon account!

Currently using the beta, just a few questions.

• is the difference between ad free and ultra os the ad free is a one time fee and ultra have the extra options?

• is there a way to see separate count of downvote and upvote like in voyager?

Thanks for this app, really like the experience so far as I just migrated from reddit, now I just need to find counterparts for the reddits I view before.

Welcome back, Sync! 🎉

I don't know for how long I've used sync and Sync is a reminder that social media is only as good as the tools let it be. I'm not convinced I would've converted to Lemmy if Sync stayed with reddit.

Thank you so much. It is a great app and brings enormous value to Lemmy.

FINALLY!!!

Im using it RN

Replying with Sync.

Great to be here :)

it's looking delightful, albeit still in the early stages. i'll happily pick up sync pro once that's available, as i did for the old reddit version

one admittedly minor thing: my home instance disables downvotes. is there a way sync can detect that, and hide the downvote buttons like the web ui does? alternatively an option in the settings to manually tell sync that downvotes aren't supported would work fine too

Seems good so far, feels very nice.

Honestly forgot how good Sync feels. Such an enormous difference vs connect for Lemmy. Should make Lemmy a good bit better for day to day use.

Only thing I've noticed is that I can only see a sub. Would definitely prefer not to add another sub to the mix if a one time purchase is viable.

Any idea if this will be ported to iOS eventually?

will it be live in IOS?

This is absolutely insane!

Thank you so much

Ahhh. Feels good to be home. Thank you!!

Best Lemmy app hands down. Just deleted all the other ones. This is just so smooth.

Thank you so fucking much.

Hello again fellow degenerates :D

Font seems a bit too small. Is there a way to increase font size?

I can comment but I can't make a new post.... Huh. I guess that'll come soon?

Sync is back in business! It's so good to be back home again.

Hell yeah finally, been hard to quit Reddit...but now that I have Sync again all is well

Party! 🥳🎉

Posting from Sync!!!

Works, now to figure out what leemy is

Any option for a larger up front cost to remove ads? I don't care for subscriptions and can handle managing settings myself.

So glad to be back on Sync!

Will this be for iOS at all?

This is nice. Great app;

We back!

My settings backup from sync for reddit works here! That's amazing

Very polished for a beta.

Is there an easier way to post to different groups from the main page instead of manually search for it first? Also, why are the fonts so small?

So stoked, thank you LJ!

this is fantastic! just gave it an install and a play. definitly will push me to use lemmy a lot more. great job

ITS HERE AND I AM POSTING FROM IT I AM HAPPY NOW

We're back! I've literally been checking the play store every single day. Thank you LJ and best of luck on this new path!

Can't wait to pay for sync pro again, you deserve it dude

Oh, so nice. I love to have it back!

Just wondering, is there a known issue about hidden posts? I hide them with a swipe action, but when in refresh the feed later on - the hidden posts appear once again.

Anyone got any advice / starting points for a first time Lemmy user?

Just restored my old sync backup. This Is fire!

Sad, my Aurora store says my account is rate limited 😢 so i can't install it

1349kr for lifetime. Are you kidding me, seriously!!??! That's 117dollars. Whaaaaat.

Why does it have 3 stars on the app store

Juicy. We will watch your career with great interest

How do I collapse comments?

💀

I would do pro but not doing a subscription for ultra. Liftoff is good enough for me for now until a pro version comes out that's reasonably priced

Are we absolutely married to the idea that "upvotes" are orangered and "downvotes" are perrywinkle? I mean it works and we all understand the visual queue but lemmy has a chance to be different. Some people don't even want to call them upvotes and downvotes anymore. Just my thoughts... So far, I like sync a lot! Though I have to agree with a few other users that the font is small but I kinda like it. I didn't realize how much scrolling I did just to read something.

Why isn't it availabe on F-Droid?

We are witnessing history.

What a legend.

Looks great!

I love this app way more than I thought I would, nice work!

Incredible, I'm in!

I've been using my browser to view Lemmy so far, still waiting on Boost for Lemmy. Decided to try Sync while Boost is still being worked on, and I gotta say I'm really liking it so far.

Thank you so much. I feel like I can use Lemmy the way it is supposed to. One immediate feedback I have is it took me way too long to find the add account button. That needs to be in the standard menus somewhere and not a mouse icon.

BYE BYE BYE

Everything is gorgeous :)

It's like coming home after a long trip.

I have found a bug though. Logging in to sh.itjust.works seems to cause crashes that other instances don't (so far). Lemmy.world, ttrpg.network, and sopuli.xyz haven't crashed at all so far. Haven't tested any others yet since I want to take a bit to just enjoy the app.

Seriously, Dawson, thank you for this :)

Edit: found a very minor thing in the comment markdown menu. The >!spoiler!< markdown on lemmy is different than reddit uses. The >! Doesn't work here.

Spoiler is weird on lemmy. It's

::: spoiler

Text

:::

Supposedly. However, it doesn't actually work at all in most apps.

The reddit >! Works in sync, but not elsewhere.

Can anyone else not submit a new post? I hit the FAB, which is set to submit, and a "coming soon" pops up and gradually fades out.

All the love ❤️‍🔥

Yessss. Using it to post this, and it just feels like home.

Does anyone know if there's a way to see individual Upvotes and Downvotes? Been looking in the settings and haven't found anything.

Do we have any information if there will be a version without google drm? Would love to use it on my devices that don't have google play installed.

If anyone is interested is restore customisation, the Sync for Reddit backup works for Sync for Lemmy.

Thank you... Been waiting for so long...

Love it.

Some replies to a reply are showing up in the wrong place. Might be a bug, might be because I imported settings from old sync to save myself the trouble of configuring the application anew. Worked like a charm though.

I have a question, can I pin a instance in the feeds? Eg I have a lemmy.world account. Right now it shows me Everything, Local, and Subscribed. But I do want to see everything in programming.devs main page. It's like an everything for programming, so I see that as a valid use case.

Thanks for the great work! Just made a Lemmy account earlier today & subscribed to Ultra after seeing how much care & thought have clearly gone into this app. Excited to see what comes next!

Pretty cool, liking it so far

I love this, can't wait to be able to submit posts. The customization is worlds ahead of connect, liftoff, jerboa. None of those are bad apps, but this is better.

Thank you!! Lemmy feels like home now! BTW if you're using lemmy.world instance, currently there's a server issue that prevents apps from loading comments. It's not a Sync issue.

I'm so happy

Let's Go!!!!

This is so nice using Sync again. Solid app.

This is probably me being a dipshit. But how can I create a new post? Tried to submit via Sync and get the message 'Coming Soon'. Is this not possible via the app at the moment? TIA.

finally back with sync, on lemmy this time

thank you ljd for this beautiful piece of work

commenting from sync

I feel like a complete moron, but I downloaded Sync for Lemmy and I can't figure out how to login :( I did manage to switch the default instance to my own, but I see nowhere to enter my credentials.

It looks nice though

This is already the smoothest third party app for lemmy. I've missed this

posting from sync! let's goooo!!!

i love the UI. It really matches well with Google's. Using it right now!

FUCK YEA

Congratulations on the beta release! <3

Only thing missing is being able to post threads. Otherwise it's like being home again!

It's beautiful. Thank you!

Thanks! It's amazing to have your app back! It's hard to describe how much the difference in quality was impacting my enjoyment of Lemmy (no disrespect to the other app developers, but sync is just a cut above the rest!).

Awesome, downloading now! Can't wait to try it

I'll join the others in saying I gladly purchased pro in Sync for Reddit, but I don't like a subscription only upgrade. Otherwise great job!

Edit: I see now that it exists. I will buy the one-time ad removal.

oh how I've missed you

How can I change the home instance?

So who has found where to adjust post font size?

Not general font size and not card self-post font size. The font size of the post in comment view

Liking it so far, is there a "hide on read" option?

Downloaded and subscribed!

Thank you @ljdawson

Awwwww yeah! I haven't done much yet, but everything looks beautiful.

Excellent work. Finally an app that has reasonable UI/UX

Feels just as good as Reddit Sync did. Amazing job

Really cool. Trying it out now. Will there be an option to pay to remove ads that isn't a subscription plan down the line?

I can finally enjoy Lemmy :)

Holy shit fuck yessssssss this is awesome

It's so fucking beautiful. It works seamlessly.

Today is the day!

Just joined Sync Ultra, the developer deserves it for the effort of making lemmy browsing the same delightful experience I got when I used reddit sync

Jesus Christ this app is beautiful!

Thank you 😊 now lemmy will be much more pleasure to use!

Seriously good. Totally fills the hole.

I love this app. I'm about to purchase a lifetime subscription. I just have a couple of suggestions:

1. Make it easier to keep your existing settings when adding an account without having to do a backup and restore.
2. Allow it to switch from one pane to two when opening a foldable device.

Great job, thanks!!

Fuck yeah!

Sweet, I’m hoping Apollo can come back like this as well someday too.

Where do I report bugs?

Is there a way to increase the font size? It's tiny.

Edit: Nvm think I found it.

This app is gorgeous with Android Material You!

This post let me know, so I downloaded it, I'm posting from it, and I bought sync ultra before I even logged in.

Fantastic work!

I've missed this interface!

Oh man, this release totally made my day. I've been missing this client something fierce!

This app is amazing and all I needed to move to lemmy

Glad to see some more options for everyone to participate. I'm entirely satisfied with Liftoff, personally.

This has completely made my day. Also very impressed that I was able to restore a backup of my settings from the Reddit version of the app, so setup was a breeze.

Looks and works great. So glad to have this.

You can use your old backups as well to restore settings. The only thing that didn't work for me was the theme, but it was an easy fix. Good to be back.

Hello world!

"Finally...inner peace."

My first comment from S4L.

I have waited for this and it is so much better then the web gui on mobile. Payed for Ultra straight away!

Thank you.

Former RIF user here but loving Sync for Lemmy so far!

It works!!!!

Absolutely amazing. Sync and reddit were one in the same for me, and I haven't so much as opened that site since the 3rd party apocalypse. Feels good to be back on this incredible app.

For some reason it's saying "coming soon" on my Google Play account?

Fold 4?

Oh, happy days!

Love it so far on my phone.

On my tablet I really wish there was a "2-pane post view" as in spreading the posts out across my tablet screen to view more at the same time. (see for instance thunder for an 3xample on how this could look)

While I appreciate the intent behind the tablet view in sync it doesn't suit my needs as much as just scrolling through more posts would do. :)

Jesus christ, how I missed you!

Feels good to be back on a familiar UI. Instantly purchased ultra

posting with joy from Sync!

It already feels very familiar. Might be my main way of browsing Lemmy soon, like it was with Sync for Reddit!

I've been using this all day and haven't seen any ads 👀

Mine has been pending for the past half hour.

Is it being hugged to death? I would really like setting everything back up like it was when I used it for Reddit.

Honestly, I feel like I'm home.

This is beautiful to be back on. Feels like home!

This is amazing, thank you!

Working great so far

This made my day!

I was also able to use my backup from Sync for Reddit, it's like I never left lol

Love seeing Sync again on my homescreen. Even subbed to Sync Ultra again to support the development. 15 bucks per year ain't that much for the usage I get out of it

Ok, I waited. This is good. Thanks LJ!

Just a couple of issues I have, otherwise great and already subbed.

1. Creating or editing a comment does not follow text size changes for comments (it does once it's posted)

2. Post text and title size (once viewing the full post) cannot be resized

3. When viewing profile comments there is no indicator of what sub section I'm viewing (ex: comments, posts etc).

Edit: Found 1 and 2 can be effected by the general font size.

Instantly subscribed to ultra. I've been using sync for years and I appreciate it a lot. Looking great!

very good even better than jerboa, Liftoff and voyager. it is the best Android app for Lemmy atm. Kudos for the dev

Awesome. Wish we could change the default font though. It's quite hard to read unless it's made much bigger.

I previously bought Sync Pro. Is any transfer planned?

Awesome!! Posting from Sync right now. It's very nice so far

2 things

1. I just checked and not available for me here in California.

2. Why would i use this app vs what i currently have which is a pinned webpage? I dont have ads. I can easily navigate. Auto dark mode. I can search comments. What does this have that i dont currently?
