Oh shit, everyone this is big. This is the big one. On reddit, Reddit WAS Sync. It was why I started using reddit in the first place.

Now, Lemmy is Sync. Lets gooo

Really hope the Rif dev creates something for Lemmy, last I heard he was going to develop for another social network

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I was sad when I heard they were only making something for Tildes. RiF was my go-to but maybe we'll get lucky and they'll make stuff for Lemmy and Kbin too!

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

Funnily enough the RIF dev just released his new Tildes app a little bit earlier today, called Three Cheers for Tildes.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I still haven't really checked out Tildes

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Tildes is alright. I feel like the discussions there are more high brow than on Lemmy, but other than that the lack of user created communities very much limits the subjects, especially niche topics.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bummy, so no micromobility place there I bet?

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

No I don't think so, there's a transport related space but not a micromobility only one. You can still post about it there, but it's gonna be shuffled around other transport related topics. In fact I remember seeing a topic about e-bikes there a few days ago, so there's that.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Someone sent me an invite a while back. I kinda kicked the tires and never really checked it out again. I'll have to take another look sometime. Thanks!

[-] ChristianWS@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 year ago

Hmm, I looked at the screenshots and didn't really like it. It somehow appears even more dated than RIF

RIF was dated visually, but you could spin that as being minimalist and information dense. The Three Cheers for Tildes somehow doesn't look as dense and minimalist as RIF

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

It's an alpha release. It's probably going to improve over time, we'll see.

[-] Justly0250 3 points 1 year ago

I downloaded the app. Is tildes just like Lemmy and Reddit?

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Sort of, but the site's philosophy is rather different, shitposting and memeing is heavily discouraged and there's no user created communities for instance. You also need an invite to register an account and post, you can still lurk without one though. If you're curious you can check their docs, it explains it all in detail.

[-] Justly0250 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of this site before. I will keep the 'Three Cheers for Tildes' app installed on my phone and check it out.

Why do they need an invite though? And where do I get one?

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Why do they need an invite though?

I think it's mostly to avoid trolls and keep the website manageable for now. The owner seems to want to keep a more "cozy" community.

And where do I get one?

Gotta ask someone with an invite basically. They were handing out invites on r/tildes awhile back, so it's worth checking there occasionally if you're still on Reddit.

... And I could DM you an invite if you'd like, just make sure to read the rules and behave.

Rif was ok, once I started using sync nothing compared. Boost and another one looked pretty good in the end but they were too similar and I already had the sync unlock so I rode that till the end. Whoever releases first will probably get my $ haha. Unfortunately making good software takes time.

[-] sabriy01@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Tildes I think

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

You'd assume there will be an increase in users once all the former Reddit app developers launch their Lemmy apps.

Hopefully it's the better former Redditors as opposed to the trolls. 😂

[-] peachybuttcheek@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

This exactly why I don’t like it when people complain that not enough redditors moved to Lemmy. I actually prefer that most of them don’t.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

IMO there's a bit less discussion here, but there was too much and too much BS on Reddit. Too many people that all they cared about was the top post pub of the post. Meh.

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Just get rid of personal karma scores, only in the background to identify trolls and on posts/comments.

The behavior will probably drop

[-] Jahuffine@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

I love the smack in the face this is to reddit. It's beautiful

[-] cory_lowry@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Sadly it's still not gonna change anything since /u/spez is still Elon #2.

[-] stallmer@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year ago

When does double secret registration start?

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Ha it's taken a while to get the pre registration setup for a new dev account. Emails will be going out to everyone that signed up previously.

[-] ijeff 5 points 1 year ago

Keep up the great work! You played a large part in sealing the deal on our migration from Reddit. That and Cole offering us this sweet instance :).

[-] cole 6 points 1 year ago

yeah, but to be honest I wasn't interested in Lemmy until I saw Sync was coming. I might not have started this instance without that

[-] have_an_ice_day@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago
[-] dhork@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Congratulations

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's one way to get wet

[-] johnnydexcoX@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 year ago

Still waiting for Boost. Love that app.

Relay when?

Thunder is okay but it doesn't have filters and it won't load more than 10 posts total when I'm logged in.

[-] cole 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh hey, this community made it into the screenshots on the listing!

[-] Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

It'd be totes awesome if they also had an F-Droid or GitHub release.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 year ago

It was not open source when it was just a Reddit client, at least as long as I remember. I doubt they will change that now.

[-] Laice@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sadly its something he doesnt seem to want.

[-] RecklessDwark@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

It's a closed source project

[-] Laice@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Doesnt need to be open source to share the apk

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Is the registration region locked? Cant find it in the play store (EU)

[-] ahornsirup@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I could pre-register from Germany with no issue.

[-] mudeth@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ninja edit: Try the link here, worked for me even though it doesn't show up when I search: https://lemmy.world/post/2292776

[-] MicrosoftSam@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I had to open it in chrome but it worked in the end

[-] richyawyingtmv@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Worked fine for me in the UK, not sure if Google play counts us as in the EU these days or not

[-] Tired8281@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

No pro. :( I hate iap unlocks, Google has messed with them before with this dev.

[-] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Feck. Feck. Feck.

Okay. I'll be patient. :(
