This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!
The more, the merrier!
The more the lemmier.
Yea, I really loved RiF, so I hope we get Lemmy is Fun. Was a paid user and would support again.
Infinity for Reddit was my 3rd Party app of choice, boy what I would give for Infinity for Lemmy, seriously hoping
it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(
I def prefer people contribute to the existing open source apps (or make new ones), but overall the more the merrier. I’m happy when anyone builds something for the lemmy ecosystem.
I think it’s more of people wanting to stick with the developers and apps that they have used on reddit. Some of which have been using and supporting for almost a decade. It also means more of an endorsement for Lemmy, as some reddit sync users wouldn’t consider Lemmy otherwise. Lastly, a significant number of power users (those that actually post, comment, and otherwise contribute) use third party apps over the official app, meaning that having support for these apps on Lemmy will hopefully bring over quality users and not just a larger quantity users.
That’s my take on it, and I am someone very pro open source.
may it be usable without play services
request that he release it on Fdroid!

This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
This is absolutely fantastic news! Sync was pretty much my only way of browsing reddit for a long time. This should make the transition much easier.
BTW: Hi everyone, that’s my first comment on Lemmy!
Awesome. I uninstalled Sync after they stated it would be going down on July 1st because of the updates. It was the a great app. Looking forward to this.
It’s great to see adoption exploding like this. I’m expecting to see a lot more third party Reddit apps making the jump to Lemmy over the next few months. Exciting times!
Yeeeessssss! <3
Any app right now would be great. The web needs some UI tweaks. I hope Apollo comes to light.
Yes! I’ve been using Sync since 2012 and would happily pay again for a pro version for Lemmy.
This seems to be the official magazine: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

This is huge! Sync was my favorite reddit client.
I’ve been using Sync since 2016. This is incredibly good news.
By the way, is there a working Lemmy client in the iOS app store that is out of testflight?
Not that I am aware of unfortunately.
