Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Only been using it for a couple of hours, but have to say this is a super impressive Beta. Might be my bias towards original Sync, but so far this is easily outdoing the other Lemmy clients I've tried (Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff).

Thanks from saving me from Jerboa!

This is nice, lifetime price is a little steep for me though, I'd buy it for half price

And we're back to our regular sync programming, thank you!

Some of us don't have Google Play services on our phones, is there a way to remove adds without having to install Google services?

The wait is finally over!

Omg.... I can't even tell you how happy I am about this!! I missed sync. I knew I did, but I truly didn't realise how much I missed it!

This is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work!!

Is there a way to export my settings from the Reddit sync to this lemmy app?

This feels like a near 1 to 1 copy of the Sync for Reddit app. And I mean that in a very positive way. Sync got me into Reddit, and I think it can definitely do the same for lemmy. I'm very excited to give this a try.

[โ€“] Devgard@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I miss this so much :)))

[โ€“] Ilnek@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Will there be a sync pro app like before?

[โ€“] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

This looks like a great app, but the premium subscription model seems really lame. I'm so tired of everyone indefinitely milking users with monthly fees. My last reddit app was a one-time fee, and I was happy to pay that.

Haven't used sync before, but I'm really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!

Is the launcher icon supposed to have a black background? Is this to distinguish from Sync for Reddit, or is it to indicate that it's a beta? It looks out of place with other icons, so I hope this is temporary.

Any chance the Ulta purchases for sync for reddit are going to transfer?

A work of art in dark times.

[โ€“] Meanshadows35@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I've been waiting for this!! Been using sync for reddit for what feels like a lifetime now. Bought the ad free lifetime version yesterday for Lemmy Sync. I've missed this app! But the honorable mention is LiftOff I'll be leaving it on my phone for a while too.

[โ€“] Odo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And I'm commenting from it. So nice to have Sync back.

[โ€“] PokemonOmegaRuby@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

[โ€“] HanDuo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Typing this from Sync for Lemmy. Love it already! Feels right at home.

I do not mind the subscription costs for the premium version. Yes, in a perfect world a lifetime purchase would be nice. But this isn't a perfect world. Lemmy isn't a casual game that can be considered "done" once it's developed. No, Lemmy and the Fediverse are new and unfamiliar and it is likely there will be significant chances to the ecosystem and this development effort for the developer.
