lol:
I'm genuinely excited though. I've been a long time sync user, and I'd love to see similar features available for Lemmy!

like if the app is serving different content than the browser....
But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.
Holy shit, what a dumpster fire

Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It'll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!
That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁

I think it’s only a matter of time. I hope Lemmy/fediverse keeps up the momentum, it’s so great being off Reddit.
Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?

Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!
Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I'd suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.
Seems like a consequence of beehaw's actions
it may seem that way, but that's not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn't provide any tools for less severe action.

How's Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I've never used the former
Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization
Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the 'card' approach. Although I'm not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design 'flaws' every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.
Would love a RIF-like app.
Sync was very big on customizability, so it did have the options to make your view incredibly compact as well. By default, it was always set to follow very closely with Google's design language, but you could get something very similar to the density of RIF as well.

If- redditisfun was ported to use lemmy- the circle of life would be completed.

this has been my reddit app for over a decade!!! this just made my entire day!!
Very exciting! Jerboa is nice but it's always great to have alternatives.
As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won't opt for a "subscription" based app.

That's my favorite reddit client. I was hoping someone would do a similar client for Lemmy. This is great news, I'd totally buy a paid version of Sync for Lemmy just to support the developer.
Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.
Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it's unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.

In a few months we’ll probably have a dozen Lemmy apps. Sync, Mlem, Memmy (which I’m typing this from), Artemis, and several others I’ve seen posts about are already in development. Excited to see what people create!

Fantastic news! Sync was my main client of choice. I will be more than happy to toss the dev a few more bucks.

This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.
Dream come true right there. I used sync since 2012? 2013? A long damned time anyways, and I'd love to continue.

My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.
And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i'm sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits...This Elon Effect is stupid to a default
If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.
Yesssssssss - by far my most used app. would happily pay for another pro version.
That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.

It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world as the community for the new project.

Awesome news, hopefully rif will follow suit
Great news. Sync made Reddit usable for me, as I was able to easily filter out keywords and subs that were problematic.
