A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.

[–] erre@feddit.win 7 points 1 year ago

My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.

[–] Hellebert@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.

[–] Cratermaker@vlemmy.net 7 points 1 year ago

This is amazing news! I like Jerboa but I've been using Sync for many years now. It's just so dang good.

[–] rolofox@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 6 points 1 year ago

Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.

I think Christian mentioned he isn't planning to port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!

@chloyster this would be sick. I prefer Boost for reddit, but this is really awesome too.

Thank god. Sync is the app I was using before this entire shitshow.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is good, if only because it means the Lemmy developers can focus on back end development.

When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Best news all day!

[–] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world as the community for the new project.

[–] Master@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You'd need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.

Ah great, i was almost giving up on such a thing happening (the other devs doing great work tho of course)

[–] Zuberi@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yesssssssss.

Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D

Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.

[–] offthecrossbar@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

LET'S GOOOOOO

[–] UrbenLegend@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

That's awesome to hear! Hope there's a lot of code that doesn't need to be changed.
