I've been using Sync for many years, and I'll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process... I've read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but... if it takes time, I'll wait, no worries. Or I'll create another account somewhere else... I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that's something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I'll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.

Can't wait! Liftoff is really good, but Sync was better.

[โ€“] doublen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Amazing! I cannot wait.

Exciting! Are you starting from scratch or are you able to copy portions from the old code over?

[โ€“] glorious_albus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Pretty sure a lot of the boiler plate code would be the same like upvote/downvote, etc.

Just that instead of telling reddit that user pressed upvote, now the app needs to tell lemmy.

[โ€“] Deffi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, probably. Although I know with APIs it's not always as easy because one uses HATEOAS, the other's entities look entirely different and stuff like that. Just curious whether the data structure is roughly the same, I never looked at Lemmy's Code or the Reddit API

I keep catching myself clicking the old sync app out of habit, it's like muscle memory at this point when I unlock my phone ๐Ÿ˜… Is the Lemmy update coming as a patch to the reddit app, or will there be a new download when the time comes? Just wondering if I should delete the old app to try and break my addiction in the interim.

[โ€“] InnerScientist@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

I've deleted the old app and just put my current Lemmy app there, when Sync for lemmy is published I'll replace it again. This way I don't have to change a thing about my habit

[โ€“] transientDCer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's incredible news! Please let me oe the community know if you need any help beta testing.

[โ€“] jeeman@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Can't wait โ˜บ

[โ€“] Skanky@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm so happy you're doing this! It's going to be amazing!!!

[โ€“] GiddyGap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's awesome. Looking forward to it!

[โ€“] BedSharkPal@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hopefully kbin comparability is an option once their API is sorted

[โ€“] LemmyRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Waiting for it!

[โ€“] SGNL@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.
