I'll buy Pro again!

[โ€“] Niksko@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

Fantastic news! Signed up, happy to pay again, can't wait!

I'm so excited for Lemmy Sync! I've been using Sync for Reddit for many, many years and absolutely adore the app - the new app will certainly ease the transition to Lemmy!

Can we have this one supported on non-Google Android?

I was stuck on Sync 19 because of this

Fantastic - literally joined Lemmy today to be ready. Looking forward to this, long, long time user and now dropping Reddit.

[โ€“] MacaroniLove@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just subscribed to Lemmy.world because of the message in Sync for Reddit, so I'm definitely looking forward to buy your app again. Still not too sure about the differences between Reddit and Lemmy, other than Lemmy is slow, but it's probably getting a lot of attention suddenly.

[โ€“] stephenc@waveform.social 4 points 1 year ago

That's sort of a good problem to have; it means Lemmy is gaining a lot of attention. Hopefully people stick around long enough to reform their communities in Lemmy while people upgrade and add new servers to handle the demand.

Hey LJ!

Just another redfugee here and long time Sync user. I'm excited to see what you come up with.

[โ€“] Kokanee08@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes!! Sync was how I browsed Reddit 95%+ of the time and I have no desire to use the official reddit app. Stoked that sync for lemmy is confirmed!

I've signed up! Been using Sync Pro for so many years, I'll continue to do so on this new platform

[โ€“] Rez@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I was unsure where to move after reddit, but when you annouced Sync for Lemmy it was clear as day. Thanks for keeping Sync up and running!

Hey Lj, good work! Can you provide a ETA if you could?

[โ€“] chtk@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think ljdawson said 4 to 6 weeks in the introduction post in reddit. That was a couple of days at least ago though.

Can't wait! Liftoff is really good, but Sync was better.

[โ€“] YosemiteFinish@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'm so excited for this, we all appreciate the immense amount of work this must take.

This is great, I can't wait!

[โ€“] Saptuce@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you for your hard work.

[โ€“] erre@feddit.win 3 points 1 year ago

Anxiously waits in anticipation

[โ€“] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there like a timeline for this?

And I just want to say thank you for doing this development

[โ€“] sotolf@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

About 6 weeks for a mvp from what I understood, but that was around a week ago, so around 6 weeks

[โ€“] ShaggyDemiurge@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Was this a typo, or a funny joke on software development?

I'm so happy you're doing this! It's going to be amazing!!!

[โ€“] Bimbus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Super excited to see where this goes! :D

Long live the King!

It's incredibly awesome that you're doing this, and we're here to help continue the legacy that is Sync!

[โ€“] Lamhfada@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's great news, as someone who bought Sync for Reddit pro all those years ago, and who just heard about/signed up for Lemmy in the last 5 minutes.

Looking forward to trying it out and learning more about Lemmy!

[โ€“] LazerFX@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've been using Sync for many years, and I'll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process... I've read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but... if it takes time, I'll wait, no worries. Or I'll create another account somewhere else... I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that's something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I'll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.

[โ€“] RVGamer06@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You know what? I was using the official app, bearing its shortcomings, then i threw it outta the window yesterday, when i decided to try Sync and RiF patched with my own Client ID(hope you're not mad with that).

[โ€“] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Hi lj random question regarding sync for reddit. Do you know by any chance when the imgur rapid api key will expire?

[โ€“] Guster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Can't wait to use it.

[โ€“] sotolf@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, that's a lot of signups !

[โ€“] Stylus_XL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sync is/was one of my favourite apps since 2013 - looking forward to seeing what the Lemmy experience is like.
