Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.
What should make the first release?

Ha ha ha! Spez is really pushing it.
They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit… I have learned the following:
-
They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.
-
They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.
-
They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request… That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

Don’t tempt me, lol.
That’s how I left Twitter. GDPR request for a full copy of all my content. Then a GDPR request to delete account.
All these points are correct imo

Looks like it’s not that easy
As a European it is an option for me
Read the update at the bottom. Reddit doesn’t seem to want to comply with the requests. I guess you could use a deletion script.
Then they are in breach of GDPR regulations. If they don’t comply I could see some serious fines heading their way
Wouldn’t they have to have some sort of presence in the EU? If all of their operations are US based (I don’t know if they are or not), can the EU really do anything about it?
They serve people in the EU so they absolutely have to comply. If you have EU citizens on your website then EU GDPR regulations apply to you.
I have done enough GDPR compliance training to make me want to gouge my own brain out but I guess it came in handy lol

i thought the nsfw shit was bad but my god
I didn’t get that message
I think there will be a lot of random actions in the coming days. Reddit is really mad right now and admins are taking random actions that are later overruled because it’s bad optics.
Let’s be patient with this and not give him a hard time. For those of you who haven’t used Sync before, there was a major update a while back which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus. Please be patient and kind and the result will be worth it!
I used it just some months ago and discovered the best thing ever, care to explain the drama?
It had to do with how the cards were presented and how the quick menu and swipe up/down worked. I preferred the previous way but the new way worked just fine. Just took an extra click to use it how I wanted.
It came down to changing how it looked / worked after everyone was already used to how it currently was. People get upset for no good reason sometimes and this was one of those times.
Yeah we need to leave that in the past and not repeat a fiasco like that. The community could have handled that much better. I’m just thankful for the support from lj.
which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
It was so sad because you could tell he put so much work into it. But like a good dev he listened to feedback and ended up allowing it to be customized to how I liked it originally.
Sync and Boost were my favorite Android Reddit clients. I always preferred Apollo and being back on iOS, but they are great in their own right. But I paid for premium for both Sync and Boost for a reason. They were so feature complete and were the closest thing I could get to Apollo on Android.
I agree. I hope Boost follows as well. it’s been my most used app for years.
I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I’m done with reddit.
Sync was Reddit for me.
Reddit dies in my mind when Reddit Sync is no more (I’m gonna patch it with revanced)
If Sync lives on in Lemmy, that’s gosh dang amazing
Jerboa is cool and all, but it’s no Sync :)
Jerboa is … Ok. But using it made me realize how used I am too Sync and the way it works, looks, and feels. So I’m really happy Sync might live on!
And as Reddit had shown, good 3rd party applications determine a lot of the viability of a platform.
Couldn’t agree more!! I’d absolutely love to have sync back!
How does the ReVanced patch work? It won’t mess with ljdawson at all, right?
It wouldn’t benefit him in any way but it wouldn’t really hurt him either.
Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.
Lmao what? They can’t even stick to their deadline and need to expedite the inconvenience?
I’m guessing it’s because it contains the word Lemmy.
You’re probably right but big boy like Reddit should handle a little competitor talk in its platform.
Wow. Didn’t expect this at all. It’s definitely one of my fav Android apps, never mind Reddit Apps. The quality of the Sync app is next level and the level of options it had to tweak the layout and style to suit what you wanted was amazing. Really excited for this!
Great news! Jerboa is fine for now but it definitely doesn’t feel as polished or user-friendly. I’m looking forward to having some more options. I’m following the Artemis development already but I’ll be keeping an eye on this for sure.
Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!
give me relay for lemmy and i’m set
Lemmy Is Fun gang rise up
Huzzah! I had only just voted earlier today in the sync subreddit for a lemmy app and already @[email protected] is on the case. You rock dude!
Just hooked up messaging and username mentions.
Cheers!
Woo! I may actually spend more time on the Fediverse. I was a RiF user, but I’ll happily pay for Sync and spend more time here too.
Awesome news! I used to use Sync daily back when I was on Android, very happy to hear that the users will have some place to go.
This is very unexpected but I’m so ready to show support! I’ll be financially donating and supporting! ljdawson, it at your own pace and I’ll be happy with anything you can bring to the community! I was so pleased with Sync for Reddit every step of the way.
Im not a reddit user, can someone tell me what ‘sync’ will do?
It’s basically a really well polished app to browse the website on Android. It has a lot of features and also very good customization options since it kept adding features over the years.
Having a Lemmy client that good will make it much easier to use on a phone.
Let’s goooooooooooooooo
Amazing news, I’m ready to make the switch to Lemmy/kbin permanent (although it pretty much is and definitely will be after the API changes kick in).
