Any chance you'd allow different billing than Google Play? I don't have Google Play Services and that's the reason I had to switch from Sync for Reddit.

[โ€“] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can also use a google play gift card.

[โ€“] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can't, the app itself uses Google Play Services to check whether it has been purchased. And I simply don't have those on my phone so even if I paid, the app thinks I didn't.

I hope the old ui customisations will be available, would be great.

I'm also wondering what will be done about lemmy's wierdness about subscribing to subs, where you need to search up the sub on your instance etc.

Even sharing the comment discussions is useless if the recipient isn't already from the instance (probably are but many won't be obvs), the site won't let them comment unless they find the discussion mirrors on their own instance. So how will sync for lemmy deal with these eccentricities (that lemmy devs are also obvs going to deal with in the future)??

Thanks.

Yeah this is the wierd one. I still don't fully grasp how to work around, or with it, either.

One cool thing I've discovered is that at least inside apps, those links with !!!exclamation marks to other subreddits work within the app and within your instance. So that's cool. Not sure if it works with comments, since they're a different structure.

I'll test with this comment from a german instance: https://feddit.de/comment/747555

And the same comment from within my instance: https://lemmy.world/comment/779107

So the second link works but first doesn't, its misread and goes to some other post.

I know - no ETAs, but how far approximately the first dev release is?

If I had Sync Pro, will there be a Sync For Lemmy Pro too? Happy to pay for it again if needed, but is there a plan for this?

Nothing seems to happen when I hit Subscribe...

Also, as a long time Sync Pro user - really looking forward to this, thanks!

Incredibly hyped. Sync is the only reason I've been able to use Reddit for yeeeears, and seeing it moving to Lemmy really sealed the deal

[โ€“] TheManuz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I used Sync for Reddit all the time, happy to see you here.

I hope every third party Reddit developer follow your example.

This is how we cope

[โ€“] 99nights@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's awesome and especially since it's so fast. Can't wait.

[โ€“] faintedheart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When will this open for all users? I miss the sync experience I had with reddit. It was daily ritual.
