Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.
I’ll be posting updates on discord:
Cheers, Ljdawson
MVP
Most Valuable Program?
Minimum viable product
MVP! MVP! MVP!
Minimum Viable Product, if anyone wants to know the answer.
Thought I agree on most valuable
This is going to be a game changer. I’ve been using Sync Pro since 2015 and can’t see myself using anything else for mobile browsing. Thanks for the awesome app!
This is awesome! Thank you!
That is great news! I look forward to trying it when it is ready. I really enjoyed using Sync and was so sad that ruined their ecosystem.
I’m literally getting emotional. For me, Sync was reddit. Been using it for over 11 years. Can’t wait to be an early adopter and never let go again.
If you need beta testers familiar with the original Sync or anything, happy to help!
This is exciting.
Wow that’s awesome news. Thank you!
Sigh…I just put on new underwear too.
That’s fantastic news!
Please charge a lot
Take my money!

We’ve been using it for sync development for the last few years.
When there’s enough to release of course they’ll be changelog and posts etc too.
Discord is fine, if that’s how he wants to disseminate the information. But maybe use a community on Lemmy, for the Lemmy app
The whole fediverse needs some serious UX work.
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.
It’s exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.
Thanks Obama… I meant Spez
The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!
If only sync for reddit would auto-update to sync for lemmy
Same And double samez
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.
i will follow the sync app to the ends of the earth
Just created an account then downloaded Jerboa. I am +/- ten minutes old here in Fediverse yet. About to delete my 11 year-old account in Reddit. Thank you u/spez
Same here !
As a iOS user I really hope Apollo will follow!
Doubt it. He sounded really burnt out
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.
Never used Sync (I used RiF then slide) but I’ll check it out when it’s released. The is great news for lemmy and the fediverse. Oh and fuck reddit.
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?
This is genuinely exciting 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!
The newest update looks good imo.
Yep, i’m permanently on Lemmy with this news.
As a long time Sync user this made my day!
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!
Same!
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.
Sync is an absolutely wonderful app. I look forward to his contunued dev work
