As mentioned before I'm aiming to have something ready in the next 6 weeks ish.

Heading to bed but 3142 signups in 7 hours, LFG!
I was wondering why you are "Looking For Group" 😄
Seems like that also goes for "Let's F****ng Go"
Brilliant, my friend. Thank you for your hard work.
I'm going to throw this link here for you to check out. It's a table comparing Mastodon apps which already has a big ecosystem on the Fediverse. Maybe you can find some inspiration. :)
Make that 3143 :)
Make that 3144!!
And my... axe?!
And my bow!
Hey! Late to the game, but I'm hoping to sign up too. Is it full? I entered my email and the screen doesn't do anything after i press "continue"?
Anyways, nice to see you here!
I don't think it does anything. It's just taking emails so when it does release, you'll be notified.
It doesn't work on Firefox...

hey man you deserve it
Ready for the pro version ❤️
As long as it's as snappy as the reddit client I'll be switching over from wefwef as soon as it's out. Thanks for being awesome!
I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active
Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it's much smoother than Jerboa.
Just be mindful of the default 'All' view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can't interact with instances that you aren't logged on in.
Instead change it to be '[email protected]' to use it as normal.
Thunder is likely the closest to sync
This. In case anyone is wondering, here's the link as it's not on appstores yet: Thunder
Thanks!
You're welcome, people never seem to provide links to where these apps can be found, glad to help.
I've been using connect for lemmy myself - I'm in the process of trying all apps but it's hard to use anything after using sync for a decade :(
Honestly I have mixed results and opinions with both Jerboa and Liftoff... Liftoff, for example, wouldn't even load a GIF that I posted when Jerboa would.
They currently also both randomly crash on me but I think that's most likely related to lemmy.world not being on version 0.18+ yet.
Somebody pls find spez's mail and use it to subscribe 🤣
My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.
In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.
It's really fun to try out all these different apps.
Thank you for this.
I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.
And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys
Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.
+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.
Yep, am enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync.
I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).
Liftoff also has better formatting options. Here are a few screenshots:
Switched from Connect to Liftoff last week too. Kinda makes sense why it's a little bit ahead of the curve given that it's a fork of Lemmur.
I just wish connect had a better icon haha
I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don't fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I'd like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it's getting a bit small.
Can't seem to log in with Liftoff.. it keeps saying that my instance (lemm.ee) can not be found.
Your instance seems to use a beta version of lemmy so it's possible there are API changes that make it incompatible with some 3rd party apps. Either that or the instance is being hosted behind cloudflare and the operator have strict anti bots option enabled (traffics from apps is almost similar with bot traffics). If yo ask your instance's admins, they might be able to do something about it.
I'm not sure what that's about. I tried with lemmy.one and had the same issue. For me it works great with lemm.ee and lemmy.world. Guessing it's a big that's hopefully getting worked on.
I'm trying Connect for Lemmy and it looks very good
agreed, this is great. Updates keep flowing. A visual separator between posts in amoled mode would be nice but its excellent. Devs should start charging for these already. At least in the settings you can 'buymeacoffee' for connect.
Connect is great. It can hide read posts. But I miss Syncs feature to swipe to hide. That was the killer feature that made me stay with Sync for reddit.
The swipe gestures can be improved, but Connect is pretty good for an app this early in development.
Connect is the best Lemmy app out right now. Great features, look, behavior, and the dev is very quick with responses and updates.
Ditto. Never regretted lifetime sync for reddit.
Very interested to see what he does with this.
Nothing happens when i press the 'Subscribe' button after writing in my e-mail address. Might be on my side the problem is. Have tried on 2 web browsers on my computer
EDIT: Now i'm subscribed via my smartphone.
For me it says "Thanks for subscribing"
Ok. Gonna try to do that on my phone now.
EDIT: Got it sorted with a web browser on my smartphone.
Seems to be broken on FF (nightly, both desktop and Android). Worked on Chromium
I had no issue with Firefox stable (114.0.2) on desktop (Windows) after temporarily disabling uBlock Origin from blocking GTM on the page.
I just successfully registered with my Firefox (113.0.2). Perhaps they fixed the issue?
I got a simple "thanks for subscribing" line above the mail field, and I am using the internal browser for the "liftoff" app
Both 'Microsoft Edge' and 'Mozilla Firefox' on my computer and 'Samsung Internet' browser and 'Lemur Browser' on my Android smartphone failed to register my subscription. So I had to to use an app on Android called 'Flyperlink' which created 'Bubbles' like Messenger does for each web page you open before I got it to work.
Did you try a private tab?
For me, it didn't work on Firefox, but worked on chrome
As so many others have said, their app of choice WAS Reddit, and Sync was Reddit for me. There's some good Lemmy apps out there, but my muscle memory misses Sync!
Care to recommend some of the best lemmy apps, according to your experience? So far my favorites are liftoff and connect. Until sync comes out, that is! 😄
Just got Connect.
It has been very close to Sync.
I just want to mention that your signup submission endpoint
syncapps.us14.list-manage.comis being blocked by Firefox's enhanced tracking protection. If anyone having trouble with signup, try temporarily disabling adblocker or tracking protection.Thanks, this allowed me to sign up!
I'm on mobile with ublock and Firefox and sign-up still doesn't seem to be working after turning off ublock
Same, was also blocked by my ad blocker. The button wasn't responding to anything until I whitelisted domain
Boost4Lemmy already put a placeholder into Google Play store so people can get notified when a first build drops.
Doing the same with Sync4Lemmy would be a good idea...
I've paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I'm so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.
Thanks for all you do!
Signed up for Lemmy just because you're developing an app for it u/ljdawson. Can't wait.
Hell yeah! Sync is the reason I joined the fediverse when I heard you're making an app. Been a loyal user of your reddit apps since the beginning, there is no comparison it was the best! Can't wait to see how this project matures. So far, seems to be much better than other social platforms simply because it's decentralized and all the benefits that brings. Things are looking promising and I, for one, don't miss reddit at all!
I'm curious how many signups you already got. Your app will skyrocket to the top in seconds once released.
7k
7,001 now that I've seen the sign up.
Well I can't register my email any more so I think it must have been a lot.
Edit: doesn't let you with ublock enabled.
I just did it. Your issue must have been cause by something else.
Yeah, same. Too late to the party, I guess!
Can't wait. I'm basically off reddit now cause your app doesn't work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.
Nice, subscribed already!
I'm switching to Lemmy because Sync is making the switch
I never used a third party app but I'll give this a spin lol.
Sync for Reddit was top notch. The official client felt like a joke app after using Sync. Hopefully the Lemmy version will be the same.
Do you even know why we are using #lemmy and #kbin if you have never used a third-party app?
e: My fault. I thought most people would have migrated already during the blackout. But people kept up hope. Anyway everyone is welcome
That's really shitty man, lots of people use Reddit primarily on browser but nowhere does that suggest those users don't know what the fuck is going on...
Is it possible to exist on Reddit right now and NOT know what's going on is my question lmao
Isn't browser technically third party app?
joking aside, some of us used Browser and
old. reddit.com.BTW I'm now using Firefox to access Lemmy as well.
I'm also using Firefox to edit all my reddit history on second device as of now.
I didn't leave reddit because I couldn't use third party app or mod tools, I left because I got fed up with being "noise" and taken for granted. Also I dislike monopolistic corporation behavior . They ruined gaming when I used play, they spy on every step I take and want to control everything I bought as they see fit.
You don't have to use the third party apps to know what reddit is doing is fucked up. I never used a third party app, nor did I use a moderation bot. Not to mention people could never have used Reddit before and still use lemmy
A lot of people learned about third party apps from the protests, and knowing how shitty a thing Reddit was doing decided to stand in solidarity and quit Reddit with us.
So please, no need to sound so condescending, it's pretty obvious what's happened here and they clearly do know. Otherwise they wouldn't be here.
Are you seriously fucking trying to gatekeep the fediverse? JFC get a life fam.
Isn't the fediverse enough in itself to warrant a switch to kbin or Lemmy?
Although, I do admit that Reddit's shitty handling of the community and third-party apps pushed me over the edge.
Day one buy for me. Subscribed!
same for me
Absolutely same for me. Liftoff has been working great for now, but I'm a Sync-head forever!
Sync pro user here, I was so bummed hearing it was shutting down. Can't wait for Sync for Lemmy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu0cE9RgK5M
This is exciting! I love how a push can spark innovation like this!
Absolutely buying the pro version the second it's available, Sync WAS reddit for me for the last 11 years.
What a trip! I was originally sad because I just uninstalled Sync for Reddit today only to join Lemmy and find out my favorite client is coming to Lemmy! Thanks so much!
This is android only, correct?
Ooh that’s a bummer if that’s the case. Might be why I’ve never heard of Sync
Yep as the original client for Reddit did.
Nice
Awesome news, good luck with the work!
I liked kbin more than Lemmy but I like sync more than anything. I guess Lemmy is my main go to now. GL and thank you.
I used Sync Pro for years. So glad they are coming to lemmy. It was the best reddit app in a group with solid contenders like baconreader and boost.
Can't wait to buy a lifetime license!
There's supposed to be a email entry field and subscribe button below the text paragraph, maybe try a different browser or internet connection?
Try turn off any adblocker you have, someone else was saying ublock was hiding it.
Ummm. I'm a bit disappointed. The site doesn't work on Firefox mobile.
I'm just hijacking this top comment to declare I've finally decided what I'm doing with my Reddit account. Instead of deleting it or overwriting it with junk, I'm going to change my password, and post my account credentials around the place on Reddit so some spambot can use my high karma account for whatever the fuck.
If anyone else wants to join in I think it will be very hard for the site admins to squash such activity and actively turn the site to shit.
I also mod a few tiny communities so good fucking luck.
Sell your acc to some troll
It's the Enhanced Tracking Protection that is blocking access to the endpoint!
Check this comment!
Mmh, worked on mine. I have Firefox Nightly, though.
Nothing seems to happen when I hit Subscribe...
Also, as a long time Sync Pro user - really looking forward to this, thanks!
Death to Reddit sync! All hail lemmy sync!
Can't wait to see everyone on Lemmy with a better UI!
I was a paid user since the early days. I think Sync has been very generous with its pricing and extra features and would like to see it continue. Wish you the best of luck!
A new cahpter starts ready to contribute with and buy pro
More than happy to pay for the pro version again. Fantastic app!
Yaaasssss! This is fantastic news! I will definitely pay again for a Sync Lemmy app!
Can't tell you how excited I am for this!
Been a devoted sync user since 2012
Ditto!
just signed up, yesss!!!!
If I had Sync Pro, will there be a Sync For Lemmy Pro too? Happy to pay for it again if needed, but is there a plan for this?
Thank you so much LJ, not just for the last 10 years of Sync on Reddit, but in advance for all the amazing stuff you'll be doing here on Lemmy as well! Hearing this news made me finally make the switch and get onto Lemmy.
This. Sync was so nice to use that I find myself trying to use all the swipe actions sync had in all of the not so good lemmy apps currently available. None of them are as polished as sync was (and hopefully the lemmy version will be).
Hell yeah 😎
Looking forward to it. Longtime Sync user here and I'll be happy to throw a couple dollars your way for it, too. My only hope is that lemmy picks up a bit more; maybe Sync users will switch over and make it a more active place.
Seems like Sync for(and) Reddit is dead now. Pages won't load and I keep getting rate limited error msg.
Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy. 😀
Done! Cannot wait!
Where do I sign up?
Signed up!
As someone who loved Sync for Reddit, I can't wait for the release of the app.
Yeah, first day purchase for me.
Does the 6-week countdown start now or when it was first announced? lol
It's not so much of a count down as a rough guess... Which means you could take it to mean 6 weeks from either :)
Incredibly hyped. Sync is the only reason I've been able to use Reddit for yeeeears, and seeing it moving to Lemmy really sealed the deal
Just created an account here because of the notification
I'm in! Let's go explore the fediverse!
Same, Firefox on Android even in my case.
I had no issues. I use the Nightly version.
Just worked find for me in FF on Android.
I have no problem on firefox for windows. Maybe click it a few times to see if that changes anything? Edit: I see you meant on syncapps.io and not lemmy. Yea, there appears to be some extra commas.
This:
fnames[0]=EMAIL;ftypes[0]=merge;,fnames[1]=FNAME;ftypes[1]=merge;,fnames[2]=LNAME;ftypes[2]=merge;,fnames[3]=ADDRESS;ftypes[3]=merge;,fnames[4]=PHONE;ftypes[4]=merge;,fnames[5]=BIRTHDAY;ftypes[5]=mergeNeeds to change to this:
fnames[0]=EMAIL;ftypes[0]=merge;fnames[1]=FNAME;ftypes[1]=merge;fnames[2]=LNAME;ftypes[2]=merge;fnames[3]=ADDRESS;ftypes[3]=merge;fnames[4]=PHONE;ftypes[4]=merge;fnames[5]=BIRTHDAY;ftypes[5]=mergeAt least I'm pretty sure. I use Javascript but never touched JQuery
Correction: While there is a syntax error, that's actually not the problem. The problem was uBlock origin. Disable it and it should work. I had it on desktop and mobile, so I guess that makes sense
Same. IOS
Disable enhanced tracking protection temporarily and try again. The signup form uses mailchimps which is blocked by firefox tracking protection and most adblockers.
HYPE
Done and done! I am pumped!!
With the shields up in Brave (on PC), the signup box does not display correctly
*Edit: updated to specify this was on PC
You must have something else going on. I'm on Brave and the site works fine. Even turning Brave up to the highest block settings and hard refreshing still has it working for me.
Worked fine for me on Brave for Android with shields up, too.
This is great news. I'd have quit Reddit years ago if it hadn't been for sync. Please let us know if you need beta testers, as I'm sure I'll not the only one who can't wait for this!
I see I rated Sync for Reddit Pro 5 stars in the play store back in 2015, and it had definately been my favorite app since then. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the years.
Signed up immediately. Sync has been my go to for so many years. Excited to be onboard at the start of the next chapter.
Jeez that was cringe.
I don't think I've signed up for a beta faster in my life.
I think the only other one I was excited for and signed up for immediately was the Windows Longhorn beta. It's a shame they scrapped it and pumped out Vista instead
Awesome stuff, looking forward to it.
Yes! Losing Sync has been one of the hardest bits about the Reddit implosion.
Registered as soon as I got the link. Thanks for all your hard work!
Sweet! I’m in!
Can't wait to try it out. Currently using Connect for Lemmy for now.
Excellent, have been using Sync since 2015.
I can't wait. I will happily dump money the developers way as I did for Sync For Reddit Pro.
Anyone know if there's a legit ko-fi.com or GitHub sponsor for this?
Nice. Second (whatever we call subs/channels in lemmy) signed up for.
Going to go straight for max pro bleeding edge beta demo for life version, rather than wait as long as I did with Sync.
Looking forward to pop-out subscription nav, floating action buttons, and ultra compact style options, and whatever other QOL improvements you have planned @[email protected]
I'm sorry if this sounds whiny, but why can this be a PlayStore pre-register like Boost?
I cannot wait! I'll follow you anywhere LJ! While you're working on Sync, I guess I'll try to get used to everything and build out my profile and all that jazz.
Psst, anyone, quick! Where are all the cat communities!???!
Subscribed, and ready to purchase pro at launch.
Whether you were thinking about brand loyalty or not when you created Sync, you've earned mine.
This is a very good day
Hell yeah! So stoked!
getting sync again will be like coming home after living on a job site
For those having issues getting the email form to:
Disable your ad and tracker blockers for syncapps.io.
iFor me, AdGuard was blocking the form from showing up at all. Then, in Firefox, dev tools showed that the tracker tool was stopping the form from submitting. Once I disabled both things for the site, I was (hopefully) able to get it submitted. I got the "Thanks for signing up" notification on the site, anyway. I'm not sure if I was supposed to receive a confirmation email, so I'm just hopeful it worked.
Great. Can't wait for it.
Can't wait. The main way I interacted with Reddit coming to Lemmy is going to be awesome.
Oh boi I cannot wait *_*
Shut up and take my money!
Sync Pro user for many years here. This is great news!
Thanks for your hard work! Can't wait!
Can't wait! ;-)
Ooo - I hope RIF follows suit as well as the other third party apps and then we could definitely have a sustainable platform.
Looking forward to Sync 😀
This is great news and I can't wait for it to be released. As a long time Sync user this is one of the biggest reason for my switch from reddit.
That's awesome and especially since it's so fast. Can't wait.
Signed up and will migrate to Sync fully once the app launches. Using wefwef for now
Looking forward to it!
Sync was a popular 3rd party app for Reddit. With the change in Reddit TOS that prevents 3rd party apps from accessing the site the Dev is making a new app with the same name for Lemmy
It has nothing to do with reddit except that the developer's previous app (which was for reddit) was also named sync.
This is just going to be a good Lemmy app.
Try the free Reddit version while there are a few days left to get an idea.
It’s used to be Sync for Reddit, which was one of the biggest android Reddit apps. The dev is now building a version for Lemmy. This was posted in the sync for Lemmy community, so context for the people in this community is already there, I assume you’re coming from All so it’s more on you to figure out what it is than for the dev to post about what it is again when the people in this community that the post is meant for already know
Yay! Subscribed. 😄
This is how we cope
Excuse the dumb question, but is it going to be just for Android? Or maybe an iOS version too?
yooooo lj I'm so excited. Thank you brother I've been using your app forever.
Thanks LJ!
omfg!! THIS IS AMAZING!
🎉 signed up! Can't wait!
This extremely simple submit form fails to work with Firefox, which is infuriating.
Even with the Brave browser I had to turn off tracking protection etc in order for it to work.
Long time Sync Pro user. My
bodyphone is ready.Thank you!
What about kbin?
Shame we have to wait for that, but I guess if the site literally doesn't have an API yet, its not up to him. I've been using kbin more for some reason, don't even know why.
I don't think kbin has an API yet, but hopefully we'll get it soon!
Artemis for kbin in development and the Alpha is looking clean. Not sync but hopefully support added in future
Artemis is scraping and using their own temporary API, which probably can't be expected from most devs. Once the real API is ready we'll see more kbin support.
Thanks for info! Sounds like a lot of work..impressed by the speed they are pulling it together honestly.
Yup! I use Kbin instead of Lemmy, so a lot of the work was for my own benefit :)
Artemisapp is in development for kbin, it's the only one I know of, but I'm sure more will come as time passes.
This is probably my most anticipated app release ever lmao
Nice, can’t wait to try a new iOS client
Unless I'm mistaken Sync will only be for Android again.
Oh I am hyped. Sync for Reddit is dead for be now :( been using that app for so long I can't believe it's over.
Stoked!
LFG.
Just wrote a review for sync on the play store as a final farewell. o7
subscribed! though i do hope other app developers keep on innovating their apps in the meantime (liftoff is kinda weird but im getting used to it)
hell ye dude
Is this going to be for iOS or Android, or both?
awesome, look forward to sync on lemmy!
Buying pro as soon as possible.
A link would be nice.
Let's see where this goes. Most communities I switched over from Reddit to Lemmy are quite small at the moment, but with nice apps I imagine it will only grow.
Please hurry, jeroba is weird and breaks a lot.
Thanks, love you
I'm using Connect, and it's really good. Not Sync good, but still.
Same, so seeing this announcement really wet my whistle. > Sync for Lemmy signup is now open
Test reply from Sync for Lemmy
Test reply sent from Sync for Lemmy!
My hero ❤️
Cool! Will it be on FDroid?
Probably not. Sync for Reddit also isn't FOSS
Then I'll pass.
Thank god.
Any plans for supporting kbin accounts?
I tried signing up but clicking the green button doesn't do anything. I think the form might be broken. Firefox mobile.
So excited!
fuk yes take my money
Nice thank you
Update: other comments say Firefox is the problem. It worked in Bromite.
The sign up doesn't appear to work for me. I enter my email, click the green Signup button, and nothing appears to happen. No "thank you" page. No apparent click to the button. Nothing.
I'll hear about the first version here, I'm sure, but I'd also like to sign up.
Nice!
Signed up. I'll be downloading that shit as soon as it's available. Godspeed.
I uninstalled old Sync some weeks ago and I've been missing it a lot. I am so excited for the new Sync!
Any chance you'd allow different billing than Google Play? I don't have Google Play Services and that's the reason I had to switch from Sync for Reddit.
If anybody has issues with not seeing the subscribe button when using your desktop browser, try disabling uBlock Origin or other ad-blocker. That made it appear for me.
Added issue to uBlock issue list, so hopefully that gets fixed.
What a timeline we live in. Following sync all the way through, can't wait for a release or a beta. Thank you!
6 weeks? Impressive. I'm ready to buy Pro for this too. Thanks for Reddit Sync in the past.
I used Sync for Reddit all the time, happy to see you here.
I hope every third party Reddit developer follow your example.
Signed up!
I want in
Super excited for this, thank you!!
Cannot wait for this!
Excited for this!
Well that's exciting. Signed up! Can't wait
A must have !
Looking forward to it. Thanks for doing this!
Blessed be thy saviour
Can't wait for the new app! Thanks for your hard work LJ
All signed up. Thanks!
Signed up. Was a big fan of Sync for Reddit, so I'd definitely use it here too.
Yabadabadoo!
Thank god.
Used Sync for 10 years before it stopped working today. Can't wait.
I look forward to seeing this happen. Now I have to figure out how Lemmy works after Sync finally died on me.
Sync has just died for me.. error 429 too many requests
First Boost, now Sync? Amazing!
Wohoo! Signed up!!!
Here we go again!
This is exciting, can't wait for the first builds to drop. Do you plan on running a beta program or something of the like? I'd be interested in being a tester if you are going to be looking for those.
I tried signing up but clicking the green button doesn't do anything. I think the form might be broken. Firefox mobile.
Signed up! I can't wait!
Me_IRL:
Let's go!
Looking forward to it.
This is awesome! Love it!
I know - no ETAs, but how far approximately the first dev release is?
Sure thing. I didn't use sync for reddit myself, but I heard good things.
Subscribed and waiting as patiently as possible!
❤❤❤
Woo!!! Thanks LJD, very excited :-)
Thanks LJ, you're a real one.
Sync for android too?
Sync is an Android app
Happy to hear it!
Same
Anyone hear if BaconReader is coming to lemmy?
I hope the old ui customisations will be available, would be great.
I'm also wondering what will be done about lemmy's wierdness about subscribing to subs, where you need to search up the sub on your instance etc.
Even sharing the comment discussions is useless if the recipient isn't already from the instance (probably are but many won't be obvs), the site won't let them comment unless they find the discussion mirrors on their own instance. So how will sync for lemmy deal with these eccentricities (that lemmy devs are also obvs going to deal with in the future)??
Thanks.
Rings Social author here.
Any chance of making a Sync for Rings?
It should be as easy as changing the Reddit API endpoint in the Sync for Reddit app to https://api.rings.social
