Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.
I’ll be posting updates on discord:
Cheers, Ljdawson
This is going to be a game changer. I’ve been using Sync Pro since 2015 and can’t see myself using anything else for mobile browsing. Thanks for the awesome app!

We’ve been using it for sync development for the last few years.
When there’s enough to release of course they’ll be changelog and posts etc too.
MVP
Most Valuable Program?
Minimum viable product
The whole fediverse needs some serious UX work.
Yeah using it rn is pretty ass compared to old reddit and 3rd party apps. Good things coming tho.
Well yeah, but that’s the difference between volunteering and being on a big salary. Hopefully the influx of new users will lead to more code input though, and more donations.
This will really legitimize and mainstream the platform!
I am a Boost for Reddit User, but have seen Sync and it is well designed. Jerboa is cool but it is not there yet. The experience the dev from Sync brings to Lemmy will be amazing.
Not asking for features but would be good if kbin is included with it so that user fragmentation is limited. I still don’t really understand the difference with Lemmy but it’s cool.
My understanding is its all different UIs creating/cataloging content via the ActivityPub standard and it comes down to the different “types” of content being emphasized or focused on. Lemmy focuses on"link aggregation" ala Reddit, Mastodon does “Microblogging” ala Twitter, kbin does and supports both.
Thanks for your answer it clears it up.
So theoretically it seems like someone could create an app which “marries” mastodon content with Lemmy.
Really, I think one of the only reasons kbin hasn’t exploded like the others, is because of that split nature. The Mastodon blow up and the Reddit blew up were both instances of people looking for a very direct replacement to the thing they were leaving, rather than something that was, from their perspective at the time, a replacement with extras. Kbin could also use more devs though, I think they just have the one who is doing it on donations alone.
Yes, I haven’t tried it myself but my understanding is that kbin is exactly that. What kbin calls a “magazine” maps directly with Lemmy communities/subs and a kbin user can subscribe to a Lemmy sub via the same process they would use to subscribe to a kbin magazine. Kbin microblogging maps directly with Mastodon posts and so a kbin user can follow Mastodon users and their posts the same way they follow fellow kbin user microblogs.
Hell yeah
It’s exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.
Thanks Obama… I meant Spez
That’s awesome. Sync is the best Reddit client on Android.
I was always a rif guy but I’ve seen so many posts here about sync, seems like a lot of people loved it. Being about to reply to a comment from my inbox, or at least navigate to where its at in the thread, would be a nice upgrade!
I’m hoping we get a Lemmy is fun app personally
nice. I’ve personally been more of a Boost user my self so was a bit disappointed to hear the dev was not planning to port or support lemmy which I understand. so far jerboa has been decent but I’ll keep an eye out for others.
As a iOS user I really hope Apollo will follow!
The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!
Same And double samez
