The sync dev is doing it right by redirecting their users to the next project. Looking forward to sync for Lemmy!

Hoping the Fediverse can be better synchronized so users can more easily interact between Kbin and Lemmy.
I haven't noticed any problem interacting between the two. Is there something I haven't noticed yet?
The instances vary. Some are currently federating better than others, the servers that are currently in higher loads are dropping activity more often and not syncing as well.
Welp, since my earlier comment I've seen lots of syncing issues. lol
RIP?, i'm only seeing upgrades
I see this as an absolute win.
friendship ended with Sync for Reddit, now Sync for Lemmy is my best friend
Looking forward to using the new sync on lemmy. Happy to pay for it again. Can't wait. ☺
I am super excited to have a Sync client for Lemmy. In the meantime the PWA WefWef is pretty dang good.
the GOAT is dead, long live the GOAT!
Looking forward to sync for lemmy
Former Relay user here, I'm excited for Sync! Liftoff has been interesting as well so far, and I'm trying out some others much like I tried several Reddit apps before settling on Relay. The link/comments divider bar is just such a great idea, I'm surprised none of the more popular apps use it. Hopefully someone makes something similar for Lemmy, or maybe I should make it as a fun personal project.
Does anyone mind elaborating why it is/was called sync and what it's/was used for? Did it sync with anything or is it just another app like Apollo and RIF?
Originally it had the selling point of being able to download posts and comments to your device so you could read them offline. Hence the "sync". This mostly fell by the wayside as mobile connections improved over the last decade or so though
Will my Sync Pro for Reddit licence carry over to Sync Pro for Lemmy?
If not, that's fine, but I'll wait it out to see which developer crrates the best front end before giving them my money.
These apps cost pocket change considering how expensive life is right now. I can't think of anything else where I get so much value out of so little.
We have to be willing to pay out of pocket to support a competition if we're not happy with the way reddit is making money.
Even if pro subscription carries over I'm still buying it again. Sync was the best android client!
I don't disagree at all 😁👍

Kbin is the step-child, i'm assuming all the devs are seeing the growth in lemmy and haven't really noticed kbin!
Kbin doesn't have an API and so it's probably less straightforward to dev for. Plus Lemmy is older and more established. I believe ljdawson said in a comment somewhere that he'll work on Kbin integration somewhere down the line. I think that's the way it will go for most of the apps.
I mean it does have an API, it's just disabled and needs some work.
So… any chance Sync works with IOS?
Favorite Reddit app ever, can’t wait
When they say it’s for Lemmy, does that also include Kbin?
I'd hope so but since they're built a little different that might require some extra work. I also don't know if the developers even know of kbins existence since people usually talk about Lemmy when they talk about the fediverse. We'd probably have to bring it to their attention ourselves.
I’m hoping they develop it for Kbin.
