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

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

I'm loving Liftoff, but I'm still excited about sync.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Liftoff has been pretty great, Lemming looks polished already but it does not seem to be active anymore

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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.

Before you forget:

Set Play Store to automatically install the app when it becomes available

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yes! Really excited to try it out, have been missing Sync here!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was a RIF user. Will I like Sync?

Can't wait. I missed the reddit sync badly. Excited to use it again.

I remember vividly the day I got a Nintendo 64 when I was a kid. I also had pizza that day.

It was a good day.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

based on the app screenshots, it looks amazing!! can't believe the hype is almost over!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Will it also be released on F-Droid in the future?

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:

Amazing, i registered! Is there an expected release date? And thanks again!

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Hoping within the next week.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Any chance of android 7 support? I know existing app devs had to do some things to make it work. If it would prevent the app from being the best it could be though then I understand.

Edit: I don't intend to sound ungrateful. I recognise that few people are stuck on such an old device. I was just curious since the original Sync worked fine here.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry but that came out in 2016

I'm really looking forward to it! I've been using the novelty of Lemmy to try out a bunch of different apps, and I look forward to trying Sync for the first time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

OK... I guess I'm an idiot... Where is the pre-reg on the playstore?

Just pre-registered! So excited!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Will it run without Google Play Services like Reddit Sync Pro did prior to v22?
