My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.

This is the new community on Lemmy
Edit of course it's a lemmy.world community. Sorry guys, I'm not on the beehaw instance so I see both.
Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.
Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.
That's incredible news, I've always used Sync
I switched away from Sync to Boost some years ago, but would happily switch back for a Fediverse app. Jerboa is okay, but it doesn't have the slick look I've come to expect from reddit apps like Sync and Boost.

Awesome news, hopefully rif will follow suit
Just using firefox android's Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.
It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/[email protected] as the community for the new project.

I know Christian mentioned he wouldn't port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!

awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.
ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one... as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this "Sync for Reddit" was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).
im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys
It was the best. I have tried most reddit apps but that one could be customized exactly how I wanted and it was great. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don't think it's shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it

It was my favorite app for a number of years. Pretty easy to use out of the box, but it came with an overwhelming number of things you could customize so you could have precisely the reddit experience you wanted. Pricing was fair at US$1.06/mo. I can't recall ever running into any bugs in the time I used it.
I'd say it's worth keeping an eye on.

I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.
When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!
Thank god. Sync is the app I was using before this entire shitshow.
When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn't even close for second place. But I'm iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!

If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like (which is being discussed) api this app would be entirely compatible as well!
Yesssssssss.
Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D
Looking forward for it!
Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.
LET'S GOOOOOO
