Sync for Lemmy pre-registration is now open
(play.google.com)
Pre-registered! Can't wait!
Bug, this is not animated
Fixed
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

Can't wait to say goodbye to Liftoff and welcome back Sync as my daily toilet scroll addiction
I'm testing it now. Honestly you couldnt tell this isn't just like before. The main thing sync has over the other clients is speed. Scrolling the feed doesn't result in it jumping everwhere as images load in. They are already loaded and sized properly. And a million other little things and polish that make it amazing.

I'm loving Liftoff, but I'm still excited about sync.
Liftoff has been pretty great, Lemming looks polished already but it does not seem to be active anymore
Ouch for the liftoff devs
I'm sure it's nothing personal. For instance, I've been using Sync for reddit for over 10 years as my primary method of accessing reddit, so I know this is going to make me a lot more comfortable using Lemmy.

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.
LFG hell yeah, great job man
Hi, something you might want to check before releasing; several current Lemmy apps are having trouble displaying lists of very large images. Either they try to load them all in one go, instead of going for the thumbnail as a preview (causing the app to crash), or they only get the preview and then don't show the full size when opening.
Example:
Seem to be working fine

Yes! Really excited to try it out, have been missing Sync here!
Before you forget:
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
based on the app screenshots, it looks amazing!! can't believe the hype is almost over!!
Amazing, i registered! Is there an expected release date? And thanks again!
Hoping within the next week.

Within the next week sounds much sooner than I though...!
Just pre-registered! So excited!
Can't wait. I missed the reddit sync badly. Excited to use it again.
I'm very happy to see this. Registered with auto install asap. I was a pro, Dev, and ultra lifetime user. Looking forward to supporting the new endeavor.
my beloved client 💕
I was a RIF user. Will I like Sync?
I think so, I like sync because of its massive customisation potential, and it also offered some quick template like way to change them, so it was never overwhelming. You can make sync the way you like it, and I've been following the dev for a while as well. Truly passionate fellow.
Using Voyager and the devs have been more than awesome. I don't encounter any bugs on Android. Still gonna throw my money at Sync when it arrives though. Sync was the only reason I even used reddit. A bit wierd but before I stumbled on the Sync I couldn't even stand reddit. I was a Sync user, not a reddit user.
Hell yeah, thank you for all your hard work!
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.

Sweet :)
OK... I guess I'm an idiot... Where is the pre-reg on the playstore?
You should just be able to click on the link in the title of this post.
Omg... I'm a dummy. Thank you, stranger!

Will it also be released on F-Droid in the future?
Sync for Reddit was not open source, so I doubt this will be.
