Same for me, Sync has been my method for browsing the site since the website's graphical update. I look forward to Sync for Lemmy with my wallet out for support.
I didn't even realize there was an ultra. Would sign up with ultra here. I used sync pro for years and although I haven't Uninstalled it yet, I've removed it from my home screen, effectively removing it from my daily usage. Jerboa for now, but there are a number of issues. Can't wait for this...
Count me in ... I already bought lifetime sync before leaving reddit a few weeks ago ... after years of using the app and not paying for it until the end ... I'm more than willing now to pay for the app from the start
Just keep in mind that MVP in software means minimum viable product. Ie, it might not be initially as feature rich as sync for reddit is on it's last version.
Edit. Yes, of course I'll buy it too, but I think a little expectations management could be needed here.
Decided to try Sync on Reddit today after I saw that the dev wants to add support for Lemmy. I used RIF before and I must say... Sync looks and feels really good! I would definitely pay for it if we get something similar for Lemmy.
I used Sync for 10 years, would gladly support LJ again :)
I haven't been to reddit since the strike, but just went to view the r/syncforlemmy post: Looks like reddit is trying to suppress this announcement on mobile (of course) with a massive popup that won't let you view it. You can get around it by viewing as desktop though.
sync pro user here... would gladly pay again for lemmy sync... I still find myself inadvertently hitting the sync app almost as a reflex when I unlock my phone, lol
Man, I bought sync waaaaay back when it first came out. It's such a good app and the dev is really forward thinking. I eventually moved to iOS but when I heard that sync had a beta app on iOS I grabbed that as well! Now I'm back on Android and reddit decided to kill itself...
Needless to say, I'm really happy to hear that sync is coming to Lemmy!
You and me both, I've used the reddit one for about a decade and it effectively was reddit as far as I'm concerned. Lemmy's PWA is nice enough but I'll be giddy to get back into the familiar flow.
I tried all of the apps out there including Sync and continued using RIF because, for me, it was simply a superior user experience to anything else in the market.
Aesthetics-wise, though, Sync and many others are much better. Sync is one of my favorites for sure. It's very pretty. I used it for a long while trying to make it my new alternative cuz the looks were so much better. It was very good. I can't remember why I went back to RIF. Must have been a trifling detail.
Overall I'm extremely happy to see Sync here. It's a high class app in what is a primitive environment I thought was not gonna be amazing due to the lack of apps and stuff. I'm 100% sure if Sync is finished here, there's no stopping Lemmy's growth.
In all honestly, I thought RiF was kinda meh compared to the other major 3rd party reddit apps. Still orders of magnitude better than the official app, but the general readability, UI, and smoothness of apps like Sync, Relay, Boost, and Infinite, were better than RiF. I personally used Relay because of the absurd amount of customization.
It seems to all be in flux right now, I'm sure the dev is figuring it all out, but I know they already are sorta interoperable to an extent, so presumably you should be able to access some kbin stuff at least, like magazine subs, I believe.
I've been a user of the paid version of Sync for years and I was really hoping you'd swap to kbin/lemmy.
Glad to see you're here.
And of course I'd pay for your app.
Sync was/is so good I had to uninstall it from my phone to stay away from Reddit. Extremely excited for the Lemmy version and would definitely pay for another lifetime pro version 🚀🚀
