Heading to bed but 3142 signups in 7 hours, LFG!

[โ€“] Racle@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

LFG!

I was wondering why you are "Looking For Group" ๐Ÿ˜„

Seems like that also goes for "Let's F****ng Go"

[โ€“] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Brilliant, my friend. Thank you for your hard work.

I'm going to throw this link here for you to check out. It's a table comparing Mastodon apps which already has a big ecosystem on the Fediverse. Maybe you can find some inspiration. :)

I'm switching to Lemmy because Sync is making the switch

[โ€“] kras@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Same. Getting that confirmation a little while made me decide to try lemmy out at all

[โ€“] ancientalienbob@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm new here and all, but definitely curious to see what Sync does for it.

[โ€“] folkrav@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll go wherever Sync goes. It was my favorite mobile client for any social app, regardless of the platform. Lemmy it is!

Anecdotally, I haven't logged in to Reddit in more than a month now. It's refreshing!

[โ€“] naitro@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This. Sync was so nice to use that I find myself trying to use all the swipe actions sync had in all of the not so good lemmy apps currently available. None of them are as polished as sync was (and hopefully the lemmy version will be).

I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active

[โ€“] Risk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it's much smoother than Jerboa.

Just be mindful of the default 'All' view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can't interact with instances that you aren't logged on in.

Instead change it to be 'All@lemmy.world' to use it as normal.

[โ€“] seacocker@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thunder is likely the closest to sync

[โ€“] Xterrestrea1@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This. In case anyone is wondering, here's the link as it's not on appstores yet: Thunder

[โ€“] scottywh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Honestly I have mixed results and opinions with both Jerboa and Liftoff... Liftoff, for example, wouldn't even load a GIF that I posted when Jerboa would.

They currently also both randomly crash on me but I think that's most likely related to lemmy.world not being on version 0.18+ yet.

[โ€“] toiletobserver@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Death to Reddit sync! All hail lemmy sync!

[โ€“] GullibleOyster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Absolutely buying the pro version the second it's available, Sync WAS reddit for me for the last 11 years.

[โ€“] PhiAU@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice. Second (whatever we call subs/channels in lemmy) signed up for.

Going to go straight for max pro bleeding edge beta demo for life version, rather than wait as long as I did with Sync.

Looking forward to pop-out subscription nav, floating action buttons, and ultra compact style options, and whatever other QOL improvements you have planned @ljdawson@lemmy.world

[โ€“] hogart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

This is the way. The most used app on your phone is worth a dollarbuck or two.

[โ€“] rskn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I've paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I'm so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.

Thanks for all you do!

[โ€“] hogart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

When people see the apps being released for another platform. Ppl will use the platform because of the app.

[โ€“] chalupapocalypse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please hurry, jeroba is weird and breaks a lot.

Thanks, love you

[โ€“] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm using Connect, and it's really good. Not Sync good, but still.

[โ€“] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Same, so seeing this announcement really wet my whistle. > Sync for Lemmy signup is now open

[โ€“] thimantha@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Signed up for Lemmy just because you're developing an app for it u/ljdawson. Can't wait.

[โ€“] Quantumhair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same - got the notification from the app and started checking things out - account created a few minutes later :)

[โ€“] Downcount@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

"Sync" was the first search term I used in the fediverse!

We all believe in you, u/ljdawson!

[โ€“] mihak@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Boost4Lemmy already put a placeholder into Google Play store so people can get notified when a first build drops.

Doing the same with Sync4Lemmy would be a good idea...

Test reply from Sync for Lemmy

[โ€“] itsmikeyd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Test reply sent from Sync for Lemmy!

[โ€“] EtzBetz@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Let's see where this goes. Most communities I switched over from Reddit to Lemmy are quite small at the moment, but with nice apps I imagine it will only grow.

[โ€“] Kaseta@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Somebody pls find spez's mail and use it to subscribe ๐Ÿคฃ

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

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

I hope every third party Reddit developer follow your example.

[โ€“] impulse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (7 children)

My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.

In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.

It's really fun to try out all these different apps.

[โ€“] Moohamin12@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you for this.

I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.

And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys

Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.

A must have !

[โ€“] jonschwartz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Can't wait. I'm basically off reddit now cause your app doesn't work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.

[โ€“] Booty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For those having issues getting the email form to:

    1. Show up at all
    1. Submit once/if it is showing up

Disable your ad and tracker blockers for syncapps.io.

iFor me, AdGuard was blocking the form from showing up at all. Then, in Firefox, dev tools showed that the tracker tool was stopping the form from submitting. Once I disabled both things for the site, I was (hopefully) able to get it submitted. I got the "Thanks for signing up" notification on the site, anyway. I'm not sure if I was supposed to receive a confirmation email, so I'm just hopeful it worked.

[โ€“] Quattrokongen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nothing happens when i press the 'Subscribe' button after writing in my e-mail address. Might be on my side the problem is. Have tried on 2 web browsers on my computer

EDIT: Now i'm subscribed via my smartphone.

[โ€“] Rikudou_Sage@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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€“] roht@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was a paid user since the early days. I think Sync has been very generous with its pricing and extra features and would like to see it continue. Wish you the best of luck!
