    I genuinly think a good client can skyrocket the number of users. Even if users can just signup and browse all-active

      Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it’s much smoother than Jerboa.

      Just be mindful of the default ‘All’ view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can’t interact with instances that you aren’t logged on in.

      Instead change it to be ‘All@lemmy.world’ to use it as normal.

        Honestly I have mixed results and opinions with both Jerboa and Liftoff… Liftoff, for example, wouldn’t even load a GIF that I posted when Jerboa would.

        They currently also both randomly crash on me but I think that’s most likely related to lemmy.world not being on version 0.18+ yet.

    My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.

    In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.

    It’s really fun to try out all these different apps.

      Thank you for this.

      I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.

      And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys

      Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.

      agreed, this is great. Updates keep flowing. A visual separator between posts in amoled mode would be nice but its excellent. Devs should start charging for these already. At least in the settings you can ‘buymeacoffee’ for connect.

      I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).

      Liftoff also has better formatting options. Here are a few screenshots:

        Switched from Connect to Liftoff last week too. Kinda makes sense why it’s a little bit ahead of the curve given that it’s a fork of Lemmur.

        I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don’t fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I’d like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it’s getting a bit small.

          Your instance seems to use a beta version of lemmy so it’s possible there are API changes that make it incompatible with some 3rd party apps. Either that or the instance is being hosted behind cloudflare and the operator have strict anti bots option enabled (traffics from apps is almost similar with bot traffics). If yo ask your instance’s admins, they might be able to do something about it.

          I’m not sure what that’s about. I tried with lemmy.one and had the same issue. For me it works great with lemm.ee and lemmy.world. Guessing it’s a big that’s hopefully getting worked on.

      Connect is great. It can hide read posts. But I miss Syncs feature to swipe to hide. That was the killer feature that made me stay with Sync for reddit.

      Connect is the best Lemmy app out right now. Great features, look, behavior, and the dev is very quick with responses and updates.

    I’ve paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I’m so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.

    Thanks for all you do!

      When people see the apps being released for another platform. Ppl will use the platform because of the app.

    As so many others have said, their app of choice WAS Reddit, and Sync was Reddit for me. There’s some good Lemmy apps out there, but my muscle memory misses Sync!

      Care to recommend some of the best lemmy apps, according to your experience? So far my favorites are liftoff and connect. Until sync comes out, that is! 😄

    Can’t wait. I’m basically off reddit now cause your app doesn’t work anymore. Happily will download when this comes out.

    I just want to mention that your signup submission endpoint syncapps.us14.list-manage.com is being blocked by Firefox’s enhanced tracking protection. If anyone having trouble with signup, try temporarily disabling adblocker or tracking protection.

    Hell yeah! Sync is the reason I joined the fediverse when I heard you’re making an app. Been a loyal user of your reddit apps since the beginning, there is no comparison it was the best! Can’t wait to see how this project matures. So far, seems to be much better than other social platforms simply because it’s decentralized and all the benefits that brings. Things are looking promising and I, for one, don’t miss reddit at all!

    Nothing happens when i press the ‘Subscribe’ button after writing in my e-mail address. Might be on my side the problem is. Have tried on 2 web browsers on my computer

    EDIT: Now i’m subscribed via my smartphone.

    Boost4Lemmy already put a placeholder into Google Play store so people can get notified when a first build drops.

    Doing the same with Sync4Lemmy would be a good idea…

      Sync for Reddit was top notch. The official client felt like a joke app after using Sync. Hopefully the Lemmy version will be the same.

      Do you even know why we are using #lemmy and #kbin if you have never used a third-party app?

      e: My fault. I thought most people would have migrated already during the blackout. But people kept up hope. Anyway everyone is welcome

        A lot of people learned about third party apps from the protests, and knowing how shitty a thing Reddit was doing decided to stand in solidarity and quit Reddit with us.

        So please, no need to sound so condescending, it’s pretty obvious what’s happened here and they clearly do know. Otherwise they wouldn’t be here.

        You don’t have to use the third party apps to know what reddit is doing is fucked up. I never used a third party app, nor did I use a moderation bot. Not to mention people could never have used Reddit before and still use lemmy

        That’s really shitty man, lots of people use Reddit primarily on browser but nowhere does that suggest those users don’t know what the fuck is going on…

          Is it possible to exist on Reddit right now and NOT know what’s going on is my question lmao

          Isn’t browser technically third party app?
          joking aside, some of us used Browser and old. reddit.com .
          BTW I’m now using Firefox to access Lemmy as well.
          I’m also using Firefox to edit all my reddit history on second device as of now.
          I didn’t leave reddit because I couldn’t use third party app or mod tools, I left because I got fed up with being “noise” and taken for granted. Also I dislike monopolistic corporation behavior . They ruined gaming when I used play, they spy on every step I take and want to control everything I bought as they see fit.

        Isn’t the fediverse enough in itself to warrant a switch to kbin or Lemmy?

        Although, I do admit that Reddit’s shitty handling of the community and third-party apps pushed me over the edge.

    I’ll go wherever Sync goes. It was my favorite mobile client for any social app, regardless of the platform. Lemmy it is!

    Anecdotally, I haven’t logged in to Reddit in more than a month now. It’s refreshing!

      This. Sync was so nice to use that I find myself trying to use all the swipe actions sync had in all of the not so good lemmy apps currently available. None of them are as polished as sync was (and hopefully the lemmy version will be).

        I settled on Thunder for now, but it’s still falling a bit short. Some of the navigation is a bit broken IMHO - e.g. opening an external link and coming back keeps bringing me back out of the post back to the frontpage. But it’s the least annoying I could find. Tried Jerboa, Connect and another one before this one. Really happy to see Sync coming to Lemmy though!

    I’m curious how many signups you already got. Your app will skyrocket to the top in seconds once released.
