What does this app do?

[–] oscarlavi@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sync for Reddit was one of the best Reddit apps out there, I used it exclusively for years, I can't wait until Sync for Lemmy releases

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

It was the best hands down.

That's nice and all, but you didn't answer my question lol

[–] stu@lemmy.pit.ninja 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They did answer your question. Based off what they told you, one can reasonably assume Sync for Lemmy will be to Lemmy as Sync for Reddit was to Reddit...

[–] straightouttaireland@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which was....

An app for browsing Reddit...

[–] straightouttaireland@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Aha, thanks!

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's another browser like Wefwef or jerboa

It gives you remote self-sucking capabilities.

I was already sold on it. Now I will download it twice

Tried to search the web, but haven't found any repo or homepage. Also tried searching for "sync for reddit". It seems to just be a reddit client.

Who the heck names their application "sync"?!

It was named Reddit Sync before Reddit forced apps to rename a few years back for trade mark reasons.

Sync was named for a feature it had where you could sync posts to your device for offline use. It was super useful as recently as a few months ago when I wanted to mindlessly scroll on a plane.

Whoa, Sync has been my most used Android app for the past 5 or 6 years and I never knew the origins of its name. I just figured naming products is harder than most people think (trying to be original and memorable) hence the basic Sync moniker.

Who the heck names a company "Apple"? It's just a fruit, what's so significant about it?

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 1 points 1 year ago

It was originally named Reddit Sync but Reddit made him change the name.
