Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it's unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.
What a fucking shit show.
Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed
This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the Reddit app to continue.
With the only two options being continue in the app or take me home
If you edit the URL and remove everything before reddit.com and the change it to old.reddit.com you can view it without the app
Yup. Same here.
I can't follow this logic of Reddit's. Ohh, a community hasn't been reviewed to ensure it's safe? Oh, a community is NSFW? Gee golly, if you're on a mobile phone you'll have to use our app to look at it! We can't have that open to the internet (unless you're on desktop then you're all good, until we make an official desktop app)
It's just their excuse to make you use their shitty app
That's hilarious!
lol:
I'm genuinely excited though. I've been a long time sync user, and I'd love to see similar features available for Lemmy!
like if the app is serving different content than the browser....
Really hope Relay does the same

This is the new community on Lemmy
Edit of course it's a lemmy.world community. Sorry guys, I'm not on the beehaw instance so I see both.
Just WOW! I'm using SyncPro for 9+ years, I'll support this app for sure!!!
Ahhh! Yes!!! Sync is my baby, dripfeeding my mainline supply of reddit for the last several years. Bought the lifetime and don't regret it. I'm excited!
Best news all day!
This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.
Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It'll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!
That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁
Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?
There was a Sync for iOS beta at one point... in the dark days before Apollo.
There's also Memmy. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
But it's also unfinished
I’m testing Memmy and it’s rapidly being amazing, super impressed
As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won't opt for a "subscription" based app.
100%. The few bucks I spent on Sync Pro were some of the best dollars I've spent.
This is fantastic news. By far the best Reddit app for Android, so I have no doubt the lemmy version will also be fantastic.
Sweet sweet
!syncforlemmy@lemmy.world Does this work?
Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world so it doesn't work.
Why?
There wasn't a catcha or verification system on that server, so they had lots of accounts spamming Beehaw.
Did they actually have lots of accounts spamming Beehaw?
There is now though. So why not federate again?
AFAIK, they're working on it.
And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i'm sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits...This Elon Effect is stupid to a default
That's my favorite reddit client. I was hoping someone would do a similar client for Lemmy. This is great news, I'd totally buy a paid version of Sync for Lemmy just to support the developer.
ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one... as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this "Sync for Reddit" was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).
im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys
Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don't think it's shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it
I think Christian mentioned he isn't planning to port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!
I didn’t know that, he say why?
He mentioned it in his "Apollo will close down on June 30th" post on /r/ApolloApp (I'm linking it here, but here's the quote so you don't have to gift Reddit your traffic):
Will you build a competitor? Move to one of the existing alternatives?
I've received so many messages of kind people offering to work with me to build a competitor to Reddit, and while I'm very flattered, that's not something I'm interested in doing. I'm a product guy, I like building fun apps for people to use, and I'm just not personally interested in something more managerial.
These last several months have also been incredibly exhausting and mentally draining, I don't have it in me to engage in something so enormous.
Ok I had read that too. A different interpretation of your take on that is that he builds products (the app that accesses content) not the whole platform itself (Reddit or Lemmy). So it’s still possible he could build an app for Lemmy. He just wouldn’t try to build the whole ecosystem like Lemmy is.
How's Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I've never used the former
Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization
Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I'd suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.
Seems like a consequence of beehaw's actions
I mean yes it is a consequence of beehaw's actions. Those actions were justified though and the consequences mild considering how easy it is to view a community without being logged in.
I'm not sure why you're so defensive about it, but ok?
Im not being defensive. I'm agreeing with you but adding context for other people. It's legitimately consequences of beehaw's actions. Those actions have a valid reason though.
Your post is specifically worded/presented in a way to illicit a reaction from people, which you got. So it's fair for me to qualify my answer when I agree with you.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
