As mentioned before I’m aiming to have something ready in the next 6 weeks ish.

Heading to bed but 3142 signups in 7 hours, LFG!
LFG!
I was wondering why you are “Looking For Group” 😄
Seems like that also goes for “Let’s F****ng Go”
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. :)
Make that 3143 :)
Make that 3144!!
And my… axe?!
And my bow!
Ready for the pro version ❤️
Hey! Late to the game, but I’m hoping to sign up too. Is it full? I entered my email and the screen doesn’t do anything after i press “continue”?
Anyways, nice to see you here!
It doesn’t work on Firefox…
Somebody pls find spez’s mail and use it to subscribe 🤣
I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active
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 ‘[email protected]’ to use it as normal.
Thunder is likely the closest to sync
This. In case anyone is wondering, here’s the link as it’s not on appstores yet: Thunder
Thanks!
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.
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.
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.
+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.
Yep, am enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync.
I’m trying Connect for Lemmy and it looks very good
I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).
Liftoff also has better formatting options. Here are a few screenshots:
Switched from Connect to Liftoff last week too. Kinda makes sense why it’s a little bit ahead of the curve given that it’s a fork of Lemmur.
I just wish connect had a better icon haha
Can’t seem to log in with Liftoff… it keeps saying that my instance (lemm.ee) can not be found.
I’m not sure what that’s about. I tried with lemmy.one and had the same issue. For me it works great with lemm.ee and lemmy.world. Guessing it’s a big that’s hopefully getting worked on.
agreed, this is great. Updates keep flowing. A visual separator between posts in amoled mode would be nice but its excellent. Devs should start charging for these already. At least in the settings you can ‘buymeacoffee’ for connect.
Connect is great. It can hide read posts. But I miss Syncs feature to swipe to hide. That was the killer feature that made me stay with Sync for reddit.
Connect is the best Lemmy app out right now. Great features, look, behavior, and the dev is very quick with responses and updates.
The swipe gestures can be improved, but Connect is pretty good for an app this early in development.
I’m switching to Lemmy because Sync is making the switch
Same. Getting that confirmation a little while made me decide to try lemmy out at all
Yeah I’m new here and all, but definitely curious to see what Sync does for it.
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 y’all you do!
When people see the apps being released for another platform. Ppl will use the platform because of the app.
As so many others have said, their app of choice WAS Reddit, and Sync was Reddit for me. There’s some good Lemmy apps out there, but my muscle memory misses Sync!
Care to recommend some of the best lemmy apps, according to your experience? So far my favorites are liftoff and connect. Until sync comes out, that is! 😄
Just got Connect.
It has been very close to Sync.
Can’t wait. I’m basically off reddit now cause your app doesn’t work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.

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!
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 settled on Thunder for now, but it’s still falling a bit short. Some of the navigation is a bit broken IMHO - e.g. opening an external link and coming back keeps bringing me back out of the post back to the frontpage. But it’s the least annoying I could find. Tried Jerboa, Connect and another one before this one. Really happy to see Sync coming to Lemmy though!
Nice
Yaaasssss! This is fantastic news! I will definitely pay again for a Sync Lemmy app!
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…
And some kind of placeholder/notification for anyone who opens the now defunct apps
Signed up for Lemmy just because you’re developing an app for it @ljdawson. Can’t wait.
“Sync” was the first search term I used in the fediverse!
We all believe in you, u/ljdawson!
Same - got the notification from the app and started checking things out - account created a few minutes later :)

Ditto. Never regretted lifetime sync for reddit.
Very interested to see what he does with this.
Absolutely buying the pro version the second it’s available, Sync WAS reddit for me for the last 11 years.
