Morning all, Just a quick update to say I’m making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!

Can’t wait, thank you!
Good, I love Sync!
I’m hyped! Currently using Connect for Lemmy which feels fairly polished but I find myself always trying to do Sync’s gestures lol. Really excited to get Sync back!
If I keep Sync for Reddit installed on my phone, will there be a way to import my settings once the Lemmy version is released?
It’s the back swipe and the collapse, isn’t it! This is pretty good in the meantime so fair dos to the developer of Connect.
But sync was sooo good. Can’t wait.
Clearing read posts is something I miss.
Oh God this
Exactly lol. Also the swiping on comments and posts to upvote, save, reply, etc behaves differently. I find myself accidentally downloading posts when I’m just scrolling.

Connect is good but the 3rd party Reddit apps were so crazy polished. The absolute dumbest thing spez did as an outcome of his dumb decisions was he sent all the best app developers on his platform, straight to his biggest competitor.
I mean third party apps have had over a decade more time to get polished in comparison to the Lemmy options. I’m not really optimistic that Lemmy is a true competitor to reddit. While I, personally, no longer want to support reddit, only a tiny fraction of reddit’s user base has made the switch to Lemmy, and if you go over to reddit right now, not much has changed. Posts are still getting orders of magnitude more interactions than posts here. Some mods will leave but people will eagerly replace them. I also think Lemmy is inherently a little difficult to understand. I’m pretty tech savvy and I had issues figuring it out. The average user is going to struggle a lot which is bad for becoming more widespread.
The ui code can be reused so a lot of the polish can be ported over. I don’t care for Lemmy to get as big as Reddit. I want it to get bigger than it is now but once you got a critical mass extra users don’t make the community any better.
I disagree. The obscure subs is what I really loved about reddit. Subreddits based on niche hobbies have a much wider userbase from reddit to pull from while you won’t have nearly as many people over here. Overall I’m looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow some more but I think lacking active discussion in some of the more niche communities will make it a little more boring for me than reddit was.
I will definitely use/pay for this when it comes out just as a token of appreciation for your work on Sync.
But it’d be awesome if you picked up support for kbin as well when it’s API offerings are fully out, it’s my prefence over lemmy by far.

looking forward to supporting the new version of sync again when it’s up! Thanks for all your work on this
If you need beta testers, sign me up!
Can’t wait
We keeping the same icon right?
I really hope so.
Is there like a timeline for this?
And I just want to say thank you for doing this development
About 6 weeks for a mvp from what I understood, but that was around a week ago, so around 6 weeks
Was this a typo, or a funny joke on software development?
Well it was basically just from my personal experience with giving time estimates for projects ;)
As another software developer, yeah I get it :3
Ohh I can’t wait
Hopefully kbin comparability is an option once their API is sorted
Respect dev, you made the right choice to hop in here!
Can’t wait for Sync for Lemmy.
Excellent!
