    I saw it in the redditsync subreddit already - this is such great news, especially since I’m still struggling to get used to the Lemmy interface. I had bought Sync Pro 7 years ago and it is probably the most heavily used app on my phone.

    Wow, I’ve never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it’s one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I’m currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get “ported” to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.

      Same here, I’m so excited!

      I’m more than happy to pay for a service I enjoy so I legitimately cannot wait to give him my money.

      Here’s to new beginnings in the Fediverse!

    So many good news. Glad these developers are also trying out other options since Reddit has started shitting itself.

    I’m genuinely so excited for this and and the same time hoping boost makes one too. They recently dropped their latest update and it looks beyond pretty with the rounded edge cards and adaptive colours.

    As a recent lemmy convert from reddit who exclusively used Sync, this made my day. Thanks for the news.

      Likely a game changer that has be giving Lemmy a try. Jerboa isn’t too terrible either.

        I agree. Been using Jerboa as well and it’s nice and usable enough as a placeholder, but I’ll be watching the Sync development. Can’t wait!

          Jerboa has been nice, besides the weird glitch where it shoots me back to the top of a post when scrolling down. Lol

          Otherwise it’s pretty good for a FOSS solution!

      Well yeah, but that’s the difference between volunteering and being on a big salary. Hopefully the influx of new users will lead to more code input though, and more donations.

      Yeah using it rn is pretty ass compared to old reddit and 3rd party apps. Good things coming tho.

    I already bought Sync for Reddit twice. Removing ads from the free version the first time (it was still called Reddit Sync back then) and then again for the ‘ad code not even included’ pro version earlier this year. Guess I’ll be buying Sync a third time.

    Or more specifically, Google will be buying it for me with the cash they paid for my data.

      Are you talking about this google rewards program that pays you in google play money?
