New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community
lol:
I’m genuinely excited though. I’ve been a long time sync user, and I’d love to see similar features available for Lemmy!
like if the app is serving different content than the browser…
But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.
Holy shit, what a dumpster fire
It’s the experience of viewing the content you grumpy person!
Just WOW! I’m using SyncPro for 9+ years, I’ll support this app for sure!!!

Same! Although probably not as long. But Sync was consistently my go to even after trying other android apps.
I actually prefer infinity, but the dev is trying to implement a subscription service. Of cause you can also compile it yourself with your own api key, but it doesnt seam like he’s switching to Lemmy
Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I’d suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.
Seems like a consequence of beehaw’s actions
it may seem that way, but that’s not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn’t provide any tools for less severe action.
You’re describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.
I don’t agree. I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted. it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don’t like - if that’s not your intent, then what is ?

There’s nothing in my comment to suggest that, and I think you’re projecting here.

I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.
I don’t think it was unintended in the sense that the admins didn’t expect these consequences. At least to me, on their posts they seem very aware that what they’re doing is very damaging, but they were stuck with choosing between the lesser of two evils, and they choose what was going to keep them more sane for now.
I mean yes it is a consequence of beehaw’s actions. Those actions were justified though and the consequences mild considering how easy it is to view a community without being logged in.
I’m not sure why you’re so defensive about it, but ok?
Im not being defensive. I’m agreeing with you but adding context for other people. It’s legitimately consequences of beehaw’s actions. Those actions have a valid reason though.
Your post is specifically worded/presented in a way to illicit a reaction from people, which you got. So it’s fair for me to qualify my answer when I agree with you.
Yes this is the better link to not provide traffic to reddit.
Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed
This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the Reddit app to continue.
With the only two options being

That’s hilarious!
Yup. Same here.
I can’t follow this logic of Reddit’s. Ohh, a community hasn’t been reviewed to ensure it’s safe? Oh, a community is NSFW? Gee golly, if you’re on a mobile phone you’ll have to use our app to look at it! We can’t have that open to the internet (unless you’re on desktop then you’re all good, until we make an official desktop app)
It’s just their excuse to make you use their shitty app
Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It’ll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!
That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁
Thank you for working on this! I love Mlem and am excited to see how it develops.
I’m using the app now, and it has seen some real improvements.
Are you guys taking feedback seriously? I don’t want to dump it in a circular bin.
I think it’s only a matter of time. I hope Lemmy/fediverse keeps up the momentum, it’s so great being off Reddit.
Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?
There was a Sync for iOS beta at one point… in the dark days before Apollo.
Likely at first, but Sync for Reddit has a TestFlight for an iOS Version. I suspect that effort could be carried over if the porting process isn’t too arduous.
There’s also Memmy. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
But it’s also unfinished
I’m testing Memmy and it’s rapidly being amazing, super impressed
And Thunder (ios and android) https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
There is another new app that seems to be taking some inspiration from Apollo. It’s also meant to work with kbin (kbin support first since it lacks any apps currently). https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp
I have been using Mlem for a while and the last update or two through TestFlight have completely gotten rid of crashes (for me!). I know a lot of features are missing, but Mlem seems to be going in a great direction.
Very exciting! Jerboa is nice but it’s always great to have alternatives.
this has been my reddit app for over a decade!!! this just made my entire day!!
Sync was my preferred app. Will pay money again for a lemmy version
Agreed, and it will be well worth it.
I’m a Relay man myself, but Sync was a close second. Can’t wait for the Lemmy version of it.
As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won’t opt for a “subscription” based app.
100%. The few bucks I spent on Sync Pro were some of the best dollars I’ve spent.
That’s my favorite reddit client. I was hoping someone would do a similar client for Lemmy. This is great news, I’d totally buy a paid version of Sync for Lemmy just to support the developer.
If- redditisfun was ported to use lemmy- the circle of life would be completed.
The circle of lif.
I misread your message and just saw “redditisfun was ported to Lemmy” and got very excited for a very short time.
☹️
hoping for baconreader, personally

This is the new community on Lemmy
Edit of course it’s a lemmy.world community. Sorry guys, I’m not on the beehaw instance so I see both.
In a few months we’ll probably have a dozen Lemmy apps. Sync, Mlem, Memmy (which I’m typing this from), Artemis, and several others I’ve seen posts about are already in development. Excited to see what people create!
@Beeko @chloyster Hmm I wonder if these apps be compatible with #Kbin as both use #ActivityPub.
If they want to succeed they must be.
Artemis is specifically supporting kbin
Fantastic news! Sync was my main client of choice. I will be more than happy to toss the dev a few more bucks.
Same
Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it’s unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.
What a fucking shit show.
