The dev is actually considering it! I certainly hope he finds the time too.
Would love to see 3rd party reddit apps migrating to Lemmy platform at some point.
Same, I'm especially hoping to see Infinity for Lemmy someday.
They recently mentioned perhaps pivoting to lemmy if they cant figure out the API issue. Exciting times and they posted it in their sub

That would be great. It would make leaving Reddit for Lemmy that much easier. Sync was also my preferred way to browse Reddit and I'll miss it.
I've posted multiple comments on the sync subreddit that the dev should make an app for this. I'd gladly pay again for that kind of an app.
You make it hard for me to choose.
Try the first one! If you don't like it, start from the top and go down the list again!
Infinity for reddit mentioned trying to keep developing and if they can't get API access, they said pivoting to a lemmy client is on the table. They posted this in their sub on reddit.
Exciting since I infinity for reddit is a fdroid only client that rawks!
Sync dev is weighing their options too.
Sync for Lemmy would be amazing
I absolutely love the sync app, I really hope he decides to make an app for Lemmy.
Also RedReader
My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News. Before the API changes were announced, I was already considering adding RSS reader functionality to the app, and I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API.

Great news all around

Doesn't a list of apps imply more than one?
Still nice to have the links to download from.
Sorry, just used to Reddit where titles cannot be edited. So I anticipated for the future.
Wait, you can edit the title on Lemmy?!
Ya! Not sure if it's because I am a mod, or if it's universal. I haven't posted outside of a community I don't mod yet. Either way, it's really nice.

Wow I was going to comment that lemmur is another android app for Lemmy but then I realised it was shut down in February. Does anyone know what the "political differences" are that are cited as one of the reasons for the discontinuation?
I don't know the exact motivations of the Lemmur developer, but 2022 surfaced a lot of community break-points here and it is no secret that the main Lemmy developers at least tolerate if not partially endorse some pretty insufferable people on the Lemmy instances they run.
For those of us who are new here, can you elaborate?
Lemmygrad.ml is all I need to say 😑
That actually just raised more questions lol

Jerboa is ok so far, using it, but it really need a way to set the font size separately, one setting for the main feed/list, and other for the post/comment.
When I set the font to 12 for example, the text of the post/comments it's perfect. But the main feed became too small.
It'd be such sweet justice if third party reddit app developers migrated to Lemmy, and that's what really kills off reddit for good.
That aside I've been using jerboa, but also Lemmy itself is a PWA (in chrome you can "Install" Lemmy as a dedicated web app from three point menu) which works good as well.

on fdroid, there is also an app called lemmur https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.krawieck.lemmur/
That app isn't maintained anymore, unfortunately.
Hopefully someone will fork it, now that there's a huge surge in growth.
This project is not maintained anymore :(
It looks great but doesn't work because it's not maintained. Cannot add any instances.
Soon we will see (previously sync for Reddit) sync on this list, I can't wait!
