Afternoon all,
Sync for Lemmy (Android) is now available for pre-registration on Google Play.
I’m currently working with 100 internal testers to add the final parts / resolve any issues and should be ready to go live within the next week.
I’ll be emailing everyone that signed up with the previous form today too.
Cheers,
Lj
Can’t wait to say goodbye to Liftoff and welcome back Sync as my daily toilet scroll addiction
I’m testing it now. Honestly you couldnt tell this isn’t just like before. The main thing sync has over the other clients is speed. Scrolling the feed doesn’t result in it jumping everwhere as images load in. They are already loaded and sized properly. And a million other little things and polish that make it amazing. (Posted from sync!)
I used RIF in Reddit, never used Sync for Reddit.
Now I am using Liftoff here in Lemmy because is closer to the RIF experience among the apps I tried so far (Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy, Voyager).
I am looking forward to see if the experience is closer to RIF than Liftoff, or not.
I’ve been using Thunder for my RiF clone.
Liftoff has been great. Really got me addicted again to a scrolling feed and the easier navigation. Was starting to break the habit because mobile browser isn’t as slick. Been a sync user for over a decade so that’ll be my daily driver when it’s ready. There’s nothing wrong with liftoff, it’s just not where my heart is.
Hi, something you might want to check before releasing; several current Lemmy apps are having trouble displaying lists of very large images. Either they try to load them all in one go, instead of going for the thumbnail as a preview (causing the app to crash), or they only get the preview and then don’t show the full size when opening.
Example:
Seem to be working fine
I’d love to try it
Working fine for me as well using Sync
Yes! Really excited to try it out, have been missing Sync here!
based on the app screenshots, it looks amazing!! can’t believe the hype is almost over!!
I was a RIF user. Will I like Sync?

Using Voyager and the devs have been more than awesome. I don’t encounter any bugs on Android. Still gonna throw my money at Sync when it arrives though. Sync was the only reason I even used reddit. A bit wierd but before I stumbled on the Sync I couldn’t even stand reddit. I was a Sync user, not a reddit user.
Can’t wait. I missed the reddit sync badly. Excited to use it again.
Before you forget:
my beloved client 💕
Amazing, i registered! Is there an expected release date? And thanks again!
Hoping within the next week.
Awesome, you’re the best!
Will it also be released on F-Droid in the future?
So excited for this!
