Sync is back in its rightful place on my device home screen, only now it points me at Beehaw. Things are looking up.
Yeah, this feels like coming home. I tried the other options, but none felt as smooth or as customisable as this.
Dreams do come true
It’s so good to be home T_T
Truly
Oh yes, I bought it, like I did for RedditSync 10 years ago
I have mixed feelings.
On one hand, it’s nice to have something familiar.
On the other hand, Sync was basically reddit for me, and I’m having something of knee-jerk reaction where I feel like I should be using something “fresh” that doesn’t remind me of my time on reddit.
Like, I don’t actually want Lemmy to feel like a straight up drop-in replacement for reddit. I want it to feel unique.
I like some of the other apps, but none feel “there” yet. Might just stick with the web app for now.
(Also, not open source. I trust the dev, but I just want to be able to install shit from F-Droid or Izzyondroid or whatever instead of relying on the Play Store. I understand the decision and don’t hold it against him at all, but it’s something I’ve always disagreed with.)
I used to equate Sync with Reddit too, but now I have a different perspective.
Reddit is nothing but a glorified link aggregator. Sync was my preferred way of viewing said list of links. Now that I have the exact same experience on Lemmy I’ve realized that Sync wasn’t Reddit, it was link aggregation and where those links come from doesn’t really matter.
It’s kind of poetic because that’s the promise of Lemmy. It doesn’t matter where the links are hosted.
Use sync but switch up your theme!
I have never been happier to download an app in my life. Connect was great for the time but the polish and ux of sync is unmatched
I’m not sure if this was how it worked for reddit but it makes you set it up when first opening, then again when adding an account, then again for each new account. There don’t seem to be any global settings so you have to manually copy settings for each account. This makes it kind of a pain to set up how I want.
Yeah, it was the same with reddit. Common complaint.
Quickest way to deal with this is Settings > Backup > Backup now. Log out/sign in into new account, Settings > Backup > Restore from backup.
Since all the backup does is save local user settings, it won’t affect any accounts or anything like that.
I haven’t used sync in years so I didn’t know this is how it always was
Submitting new posts seems to be “coming soon”. No issues commenting. I just dropped into chrome to submit, I’m sure he will button it up soon
Using it since this morning, works great, has the hide read post I so wanted. Very intuitive UI and all. But I had not realized it yet, as I seldom post myself, that it was not done. It feels complete and yet it’s missing one very important part for the community to keep growing lol.
There’s a lot to it if you want to do it right. I’m hopeful for crossposting like the webui
I’ve already gotten an update to the app since I installed it this morning. A promising development pace. I paid for the year license cus you gotta spread the love on the Fedi.
Ooh, nice. I hope this means Boost for Lemmy’s release isn’t that far behind!
This is the one I’m excited about. I switched from Sync to Boost and never went back as a redditor.
Do any of the apps work with kbin yet? I couldn’t get sync to. 😕
Yay!!! It looks like I have to rebuy pro but I’m ok with that
Same. Fastest app purchase I’ve ever made
it’s just so worth it lol — I’m not a big app person but Sync has consistently offered such a wonderful polished experience (far far outshining most other sites native apps)
Can anyone compare to Jerboa? Been using it and it’s pretty solid, but heard sync is great.
Sync is by far my favorite app, it was “reddit” for me. Now that it points at Beehaw it’s even better. It has very good customization and fits right into Android’s themeing and standards very well. It’s basically the quality of Apollo, but for Android.
I’ve never used Sync before, but something worth noting is that it isn’t open source, and there are ads and in app purchases according to the google store page
As long as the IAP is to remove the ads, we’re good lol. I don’t mind paying for that, esp for something I’ll use a lot.
Noice
Man, I wish Relay had a Lemmy version.
I can’t figure out how to get sync to actually log into my Lemmy account, where is the log in button?
I was so blind, thank you so much!
