The sync dev is doing it right by redirecting their users to the next project. Looking forward to sync for Lemmy!

RIP?, i’m only seeing upgrades
I see this as an absolute win.
friendship ended with Sync for Reddit, now Sync for Lemmy is my best friend
Nice of them to mention Lemmy. A of anti-reddit press doesn’t include the alternatives.
They’re not just mentioning Lemmy they’re making a new app for it!
Looking forward to sync for lemmy
RiF user. So proud of what everyone is pulling here. Everyone united, no matter the app, for the same goal. A new “home” on the web.
Long time sync pro user, theres a work around with revanced manager but eh. So far Infinity is still working though
I used Sync for years, it’s sad to see it go. There’s no way I’m going back to Reddit’s official app.
and im here praying for Apollo for lemmy. you lucky android users :(
nuff said mlem and memmy are still some pretty good apps for what they are currently tho (plus they are both inspired by Apollo).
If you haven’t already, check out this PWA that is extremely Apollo-like!
oooo thanks for showing me that, im currently using memmy as it’s the most apollo-like for me currently but that’s just straight up feels right at home for me tysm
but i kinda want a native app tho. but oh well, most “native” apps these days are just PWAs in an electron powered trench coat so id maybe it wont be as bad as im imagining rn
I am super excited to have a Sync client for Lemmy. In the meantime the PWA WefWef is pretty dang good.
Does anyone mind elaborating why it is/was called sync and what it’s/was used for? Did it sync with anything or is it just another app like Apollo and RIF?
It originally had a “sync” feature that would download your frontpage and all the comments (and/or other chosen subreddits as well I think) for offline browsing. It was very useful when I used to commute via bus and had a very spotty internet connection.
I used it on plane flights
Huh, it’s an interesting piece of history. Was this feature deprecated, or did I just never found it/forgot about it?
it’s still in the app, just that you have to find it
Former Relay user here, I’m excited for Sync! Liftoff has been interesting as well so far, and I’m trying out some others much like I tried several Reddit apps before settling on Relay. The link/comments divider bar is just such a great idea, I’m surprised none of the more popular apps use it. Hopefully someone makes something similar for Lemmy, or maybe I should make it as a fun personal project.
Looking forward to using the new sync on lemmy. Happy to pay for it again. Can’t wait. ☺
Used Sync since it came out, will be using it again when it’s on lemmy! I appreciate that the Connect interface is pretty similar.
