The sync dev is doing it right by redirecting their users to the next project. Looking forward to sync for Lemmy!
Used Sync since it came out, will be using it again when it’s on lemmy! I appreciate that the Connect interface is pretty similar.
friendship ended with Sync for Reddit, now Sync for Lemmy is my best friend
RiF user. So proud of what everyone is pulling here. Everyone united, no matter the app, for the same goal. A new “home” on the web.
Its not the web anymore bro. It the Internet. But hopefully we can change that!
You kids and your funny words. let’s meet in the middle: “A new home on this series of tubes”
Can’t concentrate on anything but the 2% battery left. What kind of animal are you?
An animal with a broken charging port. Used my OnePlus 6t forever ago, the port doesn’t work right and there’s no wireless charging
I used an ifixit Article to replace my pixel screen a while back, I don’t think chargers are too difficult and are relatively inexpensive.

Nice of them to mention Lemmy. A lot of anti-reddit press doesn’t include the alternatives.
They’re not just mentioning Lemmy they’re making a new app for it!
I am super excited to have a Sync client for Lemmy. In the meantime the PWA WefWef is pretty dang good.
Former Relay user here, I’m excited for Sync! Liftoff has been interesting as well so far, and I’m trying out some others much like I tried several Reddit apps before settling on Relay. The link/comments divider bar is just such a great idea, I’m surprised none of the more popular apps use it. Hopefully someone makes something similar for Lemmy, or maybe I should make it as a fun personal project.
Does anyone mind elaborating why it is/was called sync and what it’s/was used for? Did it sync with anything or is it just another app like Apollo and RIF?
It originally had a “sync” feature that would download your frontpage and all the comments (and/or other chosen subreddits as well I think) for offline browsing. It was very useful when I used to commute via bus and had a very spotty internet connection.
I used it on plane flights
Huh, it’s an interesting piece of history. Was this feature deprecated, or did I just never found it/forgot about it?
it’s still in the app, just that you have to find it
RIP?, i’m only seeing upgrades
Looking forward to using the new sync on lemmy. Happy to pay for it again. Can’t wait. ☺
and im here praying for Apollo for lemmy. you lucky android users :(
nuff said mlem and memmy are still some pretty good apps for what they are currently tho (plus they are both inspired by Apollo).
If you haven’t already, check out this PWA that is extremely Apollo-like!
oooo thanks for showing me that, im currently using memmy as it’s the most apollo-like for me currently but that’s just straight up feels right at home for me tysm
but i kinda want a native app tho. but oh well, most “native” apps these days are just PWAs in an electron powered trench coat so id maybe it wont be as bad as im imagining rn
Will my Sync Pro for Reddit licence carry over to Sync Pro for Lemmy?
If not, that’s fine, but I’ll wait it out to see which developer crrates the best front end before giving them my money.
These apps cost pocket change considering how expensive life is right now. I can’t think of anything else where I get so much value out of so little.
We have to be willing to pay out of pocket to support a competition if we’re not happy with the way reddit is making money.
Even if pro subscription carries over I’m still buying it again. Sync was the best android client!
