Reddit Sync Dev Gauging Interest on Developing Sync for Lemmy

Quote from announcement post:

Morning all,
As the July deadline approaches I've been considering working on Sync for Lemmy.
So I thought I'd start by trying to gauge interest and start a general discussion.
Cheers,
Ljdawson

Update #1 from u/ljdawson:

Ok looks like this is happening.
Time for a new subreddit here, more to follow on Lemmy shortly:
https://reddit.com/r/SyncforLemmy

Update #2 from u/ljdawson with an official lemmy community:

... https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy ...?

Yup that was me earlier!

Hope it can also support kbin.

Please please please!

cultsuperstar,

Me too. I actually have accounts on both but I prefer Kbin.

I would expect it to go similar to how many mastodon-related projects have somewhat mastodon compatible APIs and some apps can handle basic functionality across several platforms. It's probably for the best to still make small modules for each one to handle differences but it seems very feasible. Or as others have suggested someone can make a library that implements both and provides a stable interface for app devs wanting to support both easily.

mintiefresh,

Man this truly made my day. Let's goooooo!

jukibom,

And the author of Boost, my reddit app of choice, appears to be considering too :D

B20bob,

Oh man, if he makes boost for lemmy it will really complete the package for me.

B20bob,

Sadly, rmayayo has said that he will not be working on a boost app for lemmy:

jukibom,

oh, rip :(

Clbull,

Jerboa is pretty dog crap, so having Sync or Apollo switch to supporting Lemmy, Tildes, Kbin, etc would be great.

Guest_User,

Disagree, Jerboa is actually pretty damn good. Some QOL updates are needed sure, but over all it's good.

penguin_knight,

I bought sync for reddit, best money I have ever spent.

I will also buy sync for lemmy

Sync was my weapon of choice for Reddit. I will be so happy if ljdawson develops it for Lemmy!

RIP my front page

Drewski,

The more the merrier, but I'll only use open source apps on my device.

Exactly, we did not need to know it is the morning.

reddit_sux,

Great to see another app for this part of fediverse.

A humble request, great to see people willing to buy the app to support the developer. The request is to direct a similar support to the developers of lemmy. Every dollar counts.

No shade to anyone who can't donate, those who can please consider this request.

That is absolutely fantastic news!

I'm also hoping for an iOS app, like the original

Sync is soooo aesthetically pleasing. (I'm a sucker for full MaterialYou implementation) I'd love it if I could continue using it on Lemmy, and would happily pay a second time.

Xeelee,

Absolutely! I've used it for a very long time and I'll happily pay again.

kratoz29,

Imagine the smoothness of Sync for Reddit while surfing through the Fediverse.... Not my proudest bonner.

darkkite,

the backend for lemmy would have to get a lot more reliable, but i get you

Ansis100,

In some ways Lemmy can be slow, but for me some actions have been a lot faster here than on Reddit.

original_ish_name,

Material design is one of the main things I think about when looking for an app

CletusVanDamme,

Sync is a great app and will be great for Lemmy.
