Sync for Lemmy is happening

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks. What should make the first release?
Edit:
Official Lemmy Community:
https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
This should open the community in your instance
Looks like the Boost for Reddit Dev just reserved a Lemmy Community...No official announcement yet.

Yea, I really loved RiF, so I hope we get Lemmy is Fun. Was a paid user and would support again.
1000%. I'm currently using Jerboa for Lemmmy, which is pretty similar, but I loved RiF's UI and general "no frills" layout.
If TalkLittle came out with a Lemmy/Kbin browser, I'd get it in a heartbeat.
Jerboa lacks a lot of customization features but hopefully it keeps improving. Sync was my absolutely favourite though and if LJ can replicate those features in the lemmy app it'll be a no-brainer for me to use Sync.
Yeah every single app I've tried so far, and the web UI, has this "modern" design aesthetic which basically means a lot of wasted screen space and having to scroll more to see what could easily fit on the screen at one time.
Best thing about RIF was the density of information, which you could customize how you see fit. Waiting patiently for an app in that vein
That is what was so great about Apollo too. It was like a whole different experience from their disgusting app made from the charred remains of Alien Blue.
This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
Would be great to have other mobile apps fill the gap, so that the devs can focus more heavily on the main site instead of Jerboa.
FWIW, I highly doubt the devs are focused on anything but the Lemmy API right now. In fact, I also doubt they’ve slept in a month.
For sure, even so, it'll be good to have a really solid mobile app option that doesn't take any of their focus in the future.
Yeah, lemmy.world user count doubled between 6/12/23 and 6/16/23. At this rate it could triple by today, reaching around 39,000. Thanks devs!!!!
Boost dev just reserved a lemmy community also. I edited my post with the links.
Brilliant. I love the Boost client and having it would significantly increase my Lemmy usage.
Omg this is amazing, I was actually a longtime Boost user but didn't want to rain on the Sync parade in this thread.
On another note, I never received a notification about this reply, just noticed it now. I would assume that has something to do with the server strain at lemmy.ml?
Edit: I'm sorry, I can't find the link to the boost community. Please send it over when you get a chance.
This seems to be the official magazine: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

Awesome. I uninstalled Sync after they stated it would be going down on July 1st because of the updates. It was the a great app. Looking forward to this.
You should be able to keep it alive for some time by patching it with revanced.
I'll use Sync until the world stops turning.
It's the best app UI/UX wise in terms of customizability. Basically, everyone wins.
This is absolutely fantastic news! Sync was pretty much my only way of browsing reddit for a long time. This should make the transition much easier.
BTW: Hi everyone, that's my first comment on Lemmy!
this is awesome. i'm a paid (no ads) user, and will definitely support sync if there's a lemmy client.
ps. thx for linking to old.reddit.com ;)
Man, I know it's a different app but I'd be so thrilled if the Boost dev decided to jump ship and make a Lemmy app. I tried so many reddit apps and Boost ended up being everything I wanted and more.
Any app right now would be great. The web needs some UI tweaks. I hope Apollo comes to light.
im on iOS but this is amazing!! i was on android for a long, long time and Sync was my go-to. Thank you, Laurence :D
This was my favorite Reddit app. So happy to see it coming to Lemmy now that I've moved on from Reddit.
It's an app that lets you view and comment on lemmy (previously Reddit) on android with a very smooth and versatile interface. Lots of great tools for customisation and feeds.
You should be able to group communities together and hide already read posts. Lots of theming and other things as well.
Or for Kbin and it could be called KIF
