So exciting! Hope for other devs to see the positive reaction for this and consider making lemmy + kbin versions of their apps too!
This is excellent news!
Can someone eli5 this to me? Lol
Sync for Reddit is a popular reddit 3rd party app. Since Reddit is gonna kill them, the developer decided to do Sync for Lemmy instead, but is gonna take him 3 to 4 weeks to get some kind of beta.
How do universal subscribe links work?

Just type it like that and if you click it you stay in your instance
That is an awful, but functional little hack.
It would be nice if !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world could be supported.
Oh thank fuck
Would be great to have other mobile apps fill the gap, so that the devs can focus more heavily on the main site instead of Jerboa.
FWIW, I highly doubt the devs are focused on anything but the Lemmy API right now. In fact, I also doubt they’ve slept in a month.
For sure, even so, it’ll be good to have a really solid mobile app option that doesn’t take any of their focus in the future.
The more, the merrier!
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
Same with Infinity for Android, though I did use Sync on iOS.
1000%. I’m currently using Jerboa for Lemmmy, which is pretty similar, but I loved RiF’s UI and general “no frills” layout.
If TalkLittle came out with a Lemmy/Kbin browser, I’d get it in a heartbeat.
Jerboa lacks a lot of customization features but hopefully it keeps improving. Sync was my absolutely favourite though and if LJ can replicate those features in the lemmy app it’ll be a no-brainer for me to use Sync.
The more the lemmier.
Yeeeessssss! <3
We did it
RedditLemmy!This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
Like to be notified so I can try it out. Maybe RIF could try one too. Call it LIF.
Or for Kbin and it could be called KIF

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!
OH MY GOD ITS MY DREAM COME TRUE
God bless and welcome to the BDC
what is sync for lemmy?
Sync for Reddit is a very popular Reddit client. This is the Lemmy version.
That’s great. I hope more reddit clients become lemmy clients.
But what does it do?
Man, I know it’s a different app but I’d be so thrilled if the Boost dev decided to jump ship and make a Lemmy app. I tried so many reddit apps and Boost ended up being everything I wanted and more.
Agreed I tried so many reddit apps on android and boost was my favorite too.
SAAAAAME
That would literally cement my place here.
