Shame we have to wait for that, but I guess if the site literally doesn't have an API yet, its not up to him. I've been using kbin more for some reason, don't even know why.
Artemis is scraping and using their own temporary API, which probably can't be expected from most devs. Once the real API is ready we'll see more kbin support.
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!
Nice. Second (whatever we call subs/channels in lemmy) signed up for.
Going to go straight for max pro bleeding edge beta demo for life version, rather than wait as long as I did with Sync.
Looking forward to pop-out subscription nav, floating action buttons, and ultra compact style options, and whatever other QOL improvements you have planned @ljdawson
I hope the old ui customisations will be available, would be great.
I’m also wondering what will be done about lemmy’s wierdness about subscribing to subs, where you need to search up the sub on your instance etc.
Even sharing the comment discussions is useless if the recipient isn’t already from the instance (probably are but many won’t be obvs), the site won’t let them comment unless they find the discussion mirrors on their own instance. So how will sync for lemmy deal with these eccentricities (that lemmy devs are also obvs going to deal with in the future)??
One cool thing I’ve discovered is that at least inside apps, those links with !!!exclamation marks to other subreddits work within the app and within your instance. So that’s cool. Not sure if it works with comments, since they’re a different structure.
Let's see where this goes. Most communities I switched over from Reddit to Lemmy are quite small at the moment, but with nice apps I imagine it will only grow.
