New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community
lol:
I’m genuinely excited though. I’ve been a long time sync user, and I’d love to see similar features available for Lemmy!
Just WOW! I’m using SyncPro for 9+ years, I’ll support this app for sure!!!
I actually prefer infinity, but the dev is trying to implement a subscription service. Of cause you can also compile it yourself with your own api key, but it doesnt seam like he’s switching to Lemmy
I really enjoyed my short time with Infinity. I was just seeing what else is out there and that one checked almost all of my boxes. I couldn’t get over the bright ass green they used when a comment was fully collapsed though. Still a fantastic app and I hope that dev continues to succeed.
Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It’ll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!
That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁
There’s also Memmy. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
But it’s also unfinished
And Thunder (ios and android) https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
There is another new app that seems to be taking some inspiration from Apollo. It’s also meant to work with kbin (kbin support first since it lacks any apps currently). https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp
Amazing news. I loved Sync. If the developer could just imitate what they did with Sync but for Lemmy that would be great!
How’s Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I’ve never used the former
Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization
Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the ‘card’ approach. Although I’m not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design ‘flaws’ every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.
Would love a RIF-like app.
Sync was very big on customizability, so it did have the options to make your view incredibly compact as well. By default, it was always set to follow very closely with Google’s design language, but you could get something very similar to the density of RIF as well.
Did it have the option to swipe between posts instead of needing to click on each one? It was a basic feature of the official reddit app that I’m surprised more 3rd party apps didn’t emulate. Joey was the only android app that I found that had it
That is pretty good to be fair, I’d settle for that, but RIF’s compact is still superior for me.
