Finally feels like Reddit! Can't wait to get pro! Just not subscription please...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I feel ya. I sprung for ultra since I want to support the developer. Maybe a pro one time payment is coming in the future.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I would love an option for a one time purchase. I can't do any more subscriptions, it's already hard to keep track of the few that I do have.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping there is a one time and subscription option. I'm comfortable with my finances now to afford a subscription and I would like to help the devs continue to develop and improve the app. Sync for Lemmy will probably have a smaller userbase so they might need the extra bucks.

Just got it myself. Replying from Sync!

Good stuff!

I am using it right now. Moments ago I was reading a post on a DnD community and had to do a double take, it felt like I was on Reddit, but it was just a bout of nostalgia after years of using Sync for Reddit.

The familiarity, the gorgeous material UI, but now with 100% less spez!!

Thank you for bringing Sync to Lemmy Ljdawson!!

It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. πŸ™

For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I've missed it a lot.

Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.

I know it's early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that's needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.

Hallelujah!

I'm definitely likely to buy permeant and free, or sync ultra lifetime... If it becomes my favorite app.

I was a long (long long) time Bacon Reader user, so I'm looking for something with a similar experience. So far Sync seems awsome!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just checked I can only pre-register

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Scratch that, commenting from it now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome stuff!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

the app feels really premium than any lemmy app I tried but the ads are a deal breaker for me. I would definitely consider purchasing it to support the developer but I can't pay monthly just to browse lemmy. Sticking with voyager for now

Dawson has said that he is currently working on a one time and removal option, so you probably won't have to wait too long.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

The option just showed up after the most recent update

Can I ask where you're seeing ads? I'm using Sync now, and I haven't seen any. What sort of ads are showing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i have them but half of the time is just a gray box. I'm in the EU

Can someone check and let me know if it supports marking read on scroll like Sync for Reddit did and Voyager does?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh god it feels good to be back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And now I can completely leave reddit!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've tried various different Lemmy apps, and this app is exactly what I was looking for!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Is there not a way to quickly update "show read" account option from the app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Loving it so far! Used Sync for reddit for many years. I will definitely be buying the pro version! LONG LIVE SYNC!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty cool! Sending this from Sync

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I donβ€˜t know what sync for lemmy is. And at this point, Iβ€˜m afraid to ask!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Sync for reddit was a great 3rd party app for browsing reddit. Since 3rd party apps were ousted from reddit the dev repurposed his app for Lemmy. I've been using it today and so far it is fantastic. There are some ads, but at the moment it's the best Lemmy app on the market as far as UI goes imho.

So much better than jerboa

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is definitely my favorite Lemmy client so far!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Posting from sync as well! Works like a charm so far. Only the empty sponsored content block from time to time seems off :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Most people don't post. I'm glad the basics are working butter smooth
