Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Why does it collect User/Device ID, messages, payment history and other data? Is there a detailed privacy policy anywhere?

HYPE! so happy with sync THANKS LJ

Typing this from Sync for Lemmy. Love it already! Feels right at home.

I do not mind the subscription costs for the premium version. Yes, in a perfect world a lifetime purchase would be nice. But this isn't a perfect world. Lemmy isn't a casual game that can be considered "done" once it's developed. No, Lemmy and the Fediverse are new and unfamiliar and it is likely there will be significant chances to the ecosystem and this development effort for the developer.

Congrats on being first to market out of the other polished Reddit apps who are switching - I hadn't used Sync before (I used RIF, Joey and then most recently Boost) but now I'm committed to Lemmy and already loving this experience!

Thank you!!

This looks like a great app, but the premium subscription model seems really lame. I'm so tired of everyone indefinitely milking users with monthly fees. My last reddit app was a one-time fee, and I was happy to pay that.

So I think there's a one-time fee to remove ads in the next release. Someone said we're just waiting on the google play approval process.

FWIW though, the amount of usage I got out of sync for Reddit, I'm happy to throw the dev some money for a while if it keeps development going. Nice to know I'll be able to switch to non-subscription if I ever want to though

Works pretty damn good if you ask me. I feel like I'm using Reddit again ๐Ÿ˜Š

[โ€“] Digester@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

As a Boost user I'm glad this came out first. I was getting tired of waiting for Boost to release a Lemmy app, this one feels much better.

!fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world

Let me buy this one time please.

[โ€“] tulth@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

hell ya! just installed!

I didn't see kbin.social in the list of instances when logging in, and when typing manually, it returns an error. I'm still learning lemmy - is there a reason kbin login doesn't work?

Anyways it hardly matters, this acct is fine too and the app is amazing. Perfect timing with RIF now returning Error Forbidden while logged out (officially dead, rip).

Looking forward to using this more, thx y'all

I guess I'll be spending a lot more time on Lemmy now. It's like sync never went away ส˜โ€ฟส˜

Let's go! First post using sync! Hands down the best client when it came to reddit.

I've tried literally all of them. ALL OF THEM.

For the reddit clients, they came and went, but sync stayed on my phone and I always eventually came back to it. If that's not testament of a phenomenal app I don't know what is. The competition for the lemmy clients is honestly hotter than I expected but sync remains on top. None so far match the level of fluidity, customizability, and polish sync has.

My usage of lemmy went up by 5x today because of this. $99 feels pretty steep, but eh. Add it to the pile. Pretty sure it's over $300 at this point 7 years in. Lol.

To the years of mobile lemmy browsing ahead.

Works like a charm !

Is there an APK available so I can test it out on bluestacks? Iโ€™m an iOS user.
