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

I haven't been able to subscribe to any community hosted by lemmy.ml for quite awhile. When I click subscribe it just says subscription pending. I figured it was because of their server load at first, but since it's still happening I'm not so sure. Anybody else having this issue?

My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.

Just using firefox android's Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.

Cool, that would be ideal for me as its the reddit app I use(d).

[–] Hellebert@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Shivaldi@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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

That's incredible news, I've always used Sync

I switched away from Sync to Boost some years ago, but would happily switch back for a Fediverse app. Jerboa is okay, but it doesn't have the slick look I've come to expect from reddit apps like Sync and Boost.

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

[–] 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.

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

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!

[–] 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

When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn't even close for second place. But I'm iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!

Looking forward for it!

[–] 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.
