Didn’t see this on the community yet
Our Laurence, who art on Lemmy, Hallowed be thy app.
Thy Sync be done, thy beta come, On Lemmy, as it was on Reddit.
Give us this day, our daily build, And forgive us our non-Sync apps.
As we forgive those who Revanced without us.
Lead us not into new Reddit, But deliver us from spez.
Edit: Thanks, good idea. However I liked my abruptness at the end, it makes you think.
Considering the API/experience is quite different (with its own nuances) in the fediverse, the idea to create an app from scratch was a good idea. Copying and pasting UI code and framework from Sync aside. Especially when the platform is being improved to handle some meaningful load/traffic right now and is clearly needing further development - he’s got time. We are already week 4 of a 3-6 week estimate, and he’s teasing us with some very nice screenshots already. Reddit gave very short notice of the API changes, and they then carried them out. Ultimate subscribers leaving in droves, sadly. Even with the choice he was just making about usernames, it’s clear to me that he’s been putting a lot of attention to detail in the first appearance of Sync for Lemmy. Everything is important when it comes to being a class leader, there is nothing more important than setting the example that others follow or copy. When other developers come into your Lemmy community and try to snipe users so blatently as what has happened - is it any wonder he’s wanting perfection!
It’s about sending a message. He’s clearly wanting to show these other android developer noobs how it’s done.
“Hallowed”
“Hollowed” means there is nothing inside
This looks great. Nothing against Jerboa, but as a user of Sync for 11 years, I look forward to purchasing Sync for Lemmy!
I love sync but…who doesn’t use darkmode? That just burned my retinas.
I like using light mode during the day and dark mode at night.
Material You! Yes!
That’s a nice font. A Xiaomi device I assume? Reminds me of some good old days.
No, a Google Pixel. The font is Google sans, also known as Product sans.
Material you is also on base android, which is what pixels use.
Throbs in anticipation
Is there room for another here?
May be a dumb question, but wary is synch ? (I’m new to Lemmy btw)
Sync was originally a popular 3rd party Reddit client. After Reddit’s crackdown on clients, the developer decided to make a Lemmy client instead, which is what this community is about
Ok, thanks for ur response !
Will it be open source? Or is it already?
No, I don’t believe so. Sync for Reddit was not open source, so I’m assuming Sync for Lemmy will not be either.
Too bad, I guess I won’t be using it then. But thanks anyway.
Ok thanks for letting us know.
Why so toxic? What is wrong with me saying that I probably won’t be using it if it isn’t open source? Why does that bother you? (Serious question)

Tell me if I’m wrong, but to me, it very much seemed like passive-aggressive irony. Like “Thanks for telling us this absolutely pointless fact that nobody wants to hear because it’s stupid”. Plus, I guess I also mean the other people who disliked my comment for seemingly no other reason but me deciding to not use something. Why does it concern them?
Can’t wait. No doubt usage and contributions will increase with improved interface.
For example, I usually use Connect because it lets me hide read posts. But it doesn’t auto populate/suggest communities when posting, which makes it much more of a pain to share things.
