Morning all, Just a quick update to say I’m making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!
Lj
This is great news. I have signed up!
I must say, despite of how awesome Sync for Reddit was, I think we should all try not to go overboard with our expectations of what the first version of Sync for Lemmy will be. This is testing ground for all developers and expecting the same level of polishment that an app had on its 22nd version might be detrimental to the actual experience.
We know what ljdawson is capable of, so let’s support him, let’s enjoy his work (I am sure Sync for Lemmy v1.0 will still be awesome), but let’s also give him time to refine his product on a new platform. I don’t know what is involved in the development of this new app, but I do see some points where all other Lemmy apps are struggling, so I can only assume this enterprise presents some new challenges. It is only fair to give him some room for growth and not expect absolute greatness from scratch.
I’ll bet Laurence is stoked to read: “It’s been 47 minutes since the last update. Is Sync for Lemmy abandoned?” once things are underway
As someone who bought Sync for Reddit (Pro) back in 2012, I just wanted to express my thanks for all your hard work over the years. It’s one absolutely stellar app, and you can count on a day one purchase for Sync for Lemmy from me.
Absolutely, same here, will pay for Sync for Lemmy!
Same here!
There’s a sync sized hole in my home screen and only you can fill it
I’m so ready to get Sync’d again
Sync me daddy 😩😩
I’ll be there on day one. Deleted Sync two days ago and need to fill that gap in my app list.
I haven’t been able to bring myself to uninstall it yet :(
I replaced it with Jerboa shortly after the the AMA. Jerboa has been great so far, but I’ll happily switch back to Sync for Lemmy.
looking forward to it my dude, i havent used reddit at all this month. thank you !
I’ve been using Sync for many years, and I’ll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process… I’ve read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but… if it takes time, I’ll wait, no worries. Or I’ll create another account somewhere else… I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that’s something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I’ll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.
Fuck yeah! I was so sad to uninstall Sync, can’t wait to have the same experience but for Lemmy! Thanks for your work, I’ll gladly pay for pro again
Absolutely. Not even a question. Sync on Android has been better than Apollo on iOS in my experience
Really excited for this, how have you found working with the Lemmy API’s compared to Reddit’s?
I’ll being pro again as well!
Agreed! I picked up Lifetime for Sync for Reddit before uninstalling it in support for Sync for Lemmy, and I’ll be popping for Lifetime again when it’s out! 🤘🏼 Long live Sync for Lemmy 🤓
This is the way 💪
Easiest purchase decision ever
This is the way 💪
Fantastic - literally joined Lemmy today to be ready. Looking forward to this, long, long time user and now dropping Reddit.
is there a confirmation on the signups? I click the button but nothing appears to happen.
You use Firefox, don’t you?
I’ve experienced the same problem. FF’s advanced blocking blocks the call. Try signing up from a shittier browser, like Chrome.
It logged in once I did the confirmation from my email.
Respect dev, you made the right choice to hop in here!
Can’t wait for Sync for Lemmy.
The king is DEAD.
*#LONG LIVE THE KING! *
I’ve signed up! Been using Sync Pro for so many years, I’ll continue to do so on this new platform
I’ll being pro again as well!
