Really hope Relay does the same
When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!
This is amazing news! I like Jerboa but I've been using Sync for many years now. It's just so dang good.
That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.

It is good, if only because it means the Lemmy developers can focus on back end development.

When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn't even close for second place. But I'm iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!
Thank goodness, sync was the app that worked the best for me! Awesome to see more apps coming out already
Awesome news, hopefully rif will follow suit
awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.
Dream come true right there. I used sync since 2012? 2013? A long damned time anyways, and I'd love to continue.
Same, I switched between Relay and Sync a couple times in the early days, but I stuck with Sync (pro and then dev) for the long haul. Without that, there would have been no Reddit for me, which is why I'm here now and thrilled by this news.
ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one... as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this "Sync for Reddit" was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).
im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys
Good? The best one. I started to use Sync in 2013, there was no official app, only a couple of 3rd party ones. I tried them all a couple of days and Sync was vastly superior. I bought it and used it almost 10 years!
Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don't think it's shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it

Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.
It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world as the community for the new project.
You'd need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.

That's awesome to hear! Hope there's a lot of code that doesn't need to be changed.
Yesssssssss.
Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!
Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.
I know Christian mentioned he wouldn't port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!
