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

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.

It’s cool to see it so close to being ready, I’m looking forward to trying it out myself!

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

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.

Yes! Meant nothing towards the Liftoff devs, it’s the best app I’ve used for Lemmy. I had been using Sync for about the same amount of time and loved everything about it

I posted this in another thread-

People should expect these reddit apps to be buggy when they come out. I loved and paid for both apps but I think people have pretty unrealistic expectations for sync and boost. The established lemmy apps have a big head start in getting those bugs worked out.

Liftoff has been great. Really got me addicted again to a scrolling feed and the easier navigation. Was starting to break the habit because mobile browser isn’t as slick. Been a sync user for over a decade so that’ll be my daily driver when it’s ready. There’s nothing wrong with liftoff, it’s just not where my heart is.

I used RIF in Reddit, never used Sync for Reddit.

Now I am using Liftoff here in Lemmy because is closer to the RIF experience among the apps I tried so far (Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy, Voyager).

I am looking forward to see if the experience is closer to RIF than Liftoff, or not.
