Afternoon all,
Sync for Lemmy (Android) is now available for pre-registration on Google Play.
I’m currently working with 100 internal testers to add the final parts / resolve any issues and should be ready to go live within the next week.
I’ll be emailing everyone that signed up with the previous form today too.
Cheers,
Lj
Registered!
So excited for this!
Let’s goooooooo!!!
LET’S GOOOOOOO
Will there be a sync pro as well?
Currently being discussed in the discord. Likely to have free, pro (no ads) and ultra (extra features) similar to S4R
Will it run without Google Play Services like Reddit Sync Pro did prior to v22?
Edit: answering my own question. Yes it runs on degoogled devices, at least this one with microg.
Its distributed on Google play
Yes, but there are alternative clients like Aurora which allow you to download your apps that you’ve purchased on Google Play. It essentially scrapes the Google Play website to get the apk that you have access to after purchasing.
It’s a different issue than requiring Google Play Services on the device. I think you implemented some new license checking in v22 which broke the app on degoogled devices (just a guess). V19 worked great.
Wow! Congratulations! It’s really weird - I feel like going back to reddit, because it looks and feels exactly like when I used Reddit back when it was awesome to do - through sync… But it’s not reddit. Kinda tells me how much of my “Reddit experience” was actually not Reddit, but sync.
Lol I was thinking just that, myself
based on the app screenshots, it looks amazing!! can’t believe the hype is almost over!!
I remember vividly the day I got a Nintendo 64 when I was a kid. I also had pizza that day.
It was a good day.
Oh yes, I remember, Christmas of 1998, my dad got it for me and my brother, had it with Body Harvest and F1 World Grand Prix, my Dad is an F1 fan, so got an absolutely awful V3 racing wheel to go with it. During covid, I got back into racing games, and went a little mental.
Registered! Vibrating with anticipation!
Welcome back Sync! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
awesome! \(-)/
Bug, this is not animated
It is in Liftoff.
Considering the API/experience is quite different (with its own nuances) in the fediverse, the idea to create an app from scratch was a good idea. Copying and pasting UI code and framework from Sync aside. Especially when the platform is being improved to handle some meaningful load/traffic right now and is clearly needing further development - he’s got time. We are already week 4 of a 3-6 week estimate, and he’s teasing us with some very nice screenshots already. Reddit gave very short notice of the API changes, and they then carried them out. Ultimate subscribers leaving in droves, sadly. Even with the choice he was just making about usernames, it’s clear to me that he’s been putting a lot of attention to detail in the first appearance of Sync for Lemmy. Everything is important when it comes to being a class leader, there is nothing more important than setting the example that others follow or copy. When other developers come into your Lemmy community and try to snipe users so blatently as what has happened - is it any wonder he’s wanting perfection!
It’s about sending a message. He’s clearly wanting to show these other android developer noobs how it’s done.
Isn’t on memmy
It is on Connect.
Appear as a link in voyager
I’m not even sure the link is formatted correctly? I don’t think there needs to be text in parentheses of an embed.
Oh I didn’t know that! Thank you.
Fixed
Animates fine on Connect too.
Awesome 😀
