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.
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.
Not FOSS? Not interested.
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 ๐ค
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?
As a first release this is so much more fully featured than anything I expected!! So impressive thanks @ljdawson@lemmy.world.
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
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!
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
Feels like home.
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!
I feel like LJ should seriously reconsider switching the colours on the logo and up- and downvotes in accordance with Lemmy's layout
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.
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?
Thank you thank you thank you
Is it on f-droid? I don't have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.
This is sooooo nice! Really appreciate all the hard work.
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 ๐ค๐ฐ
This must be the most upvoted post on Lemmy
If there was any chance for me to go back to reddit, it's definitely gone now. Awesome app so far!
I have to admit this is amazing. It's like I never left reddit. Can't believe how fast you put this together.
Oh man the reddit mobile app is awful. Hopefully lemmy takes off because this app is just so good.
So exciting! For some reason it says "Coming soon" on my Galaxy Fold tho
