ljdawson is here to kick ass and take names
I just want to be clear that I've paid for Sync in various ways I think 3 or 4 times now and I'll gladly pay for it again. Jerboa has been at least functional (10x better than when I first started using it a few months ago).
But it's Sync I want.
Honestly I feel like I should donate to Lemmy apps I don't even use. Sync will likely become my primary vehicle to the fediverse but the fact that I have a choice is the most important aspect. A healthy competitive app ecosystem is essential.
I ended up buying pro of several reddit apps during my time there just to support the up and coming devs of those apps. Sync will most likely be my daily driver here, but I'd be happy to kick a few bucks towards each of the other Lemmy app devs and buy a pro version. It's the least I could do to show support for the work they've put in so far.
I tapped next. Just practicing.
Enjoyed sync for reddit for basically the entire time I used it. Excited about sync for lemmy.

They should change the logo so blue is up and orange is down now
Let that sync in...
Sync was the only Reddit client I could use. Tried all the others but man Sync hit the spot for me. Liftoff is decent but can't wait for Sync!!
I can't wait, pre caching comments for offline use please!
It works. Where can I pay for pro?
So excited I'm shaking.
Me: "Man, why is someone tempting us with a screenshot like this."
sees who posted this
Also me: "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"
Day 1 purchase when it comes out. I can't wait!
This is going to be amazing. I can't wait to try it out if there'll be a beta or not.
I threw money at screen and nothing is happening!
Just chiming in to show my support! Keep up the good work, instant download when it's ready.
Lets gooooo
a gift from the heavens, and my boi ljdawson of course
Cool! Will this be on iOS?
You might want to keep track of Apollo if you are an iOS user! Apollo for Reddit was loved by many, even Apple itself.
Difference between it and Connect? Behaves a lot like Sync to me tbf
Connect dev here. I have a lot of work to do to catch up to Sync! Nothing but respect for @[email protected]
Currently reading this via Connect, and this is a fantastic thing to see. Genuine respect. π€πΌ
Do not underestimate the crazy work you've done with Connect. It is hands down the best client out there, and am incredibly grateful for it
I'm the weirdo who had 3 different Lemmy apps on his phone trying them all out to see what worked best for me and Connect was definitely one of the ones that stood out. Keep up the good work!
I would be even weirder then, because I was cycling through 5 apps lol: Connect, Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff and Wefwef (currently using Wefwef).

Thank you for Connect! I was using Join for Reddit, and Connect works like a charm for me. There are a couple of bugs, but I'm happy as can be. I know you work hard on Connect. "Tap tap hold and slide" would be nice for zooming in pictures, btw. Keep up the good work. I'm pretty sure that Connect is the right one for me.
Thank you so much for your hard work. It's a pleasure meeting you here. Im a reddit refugee and randomly picked an app out of a few options and the improvement has been great.let me know anyway I can support.
Glad you're enjoying it! I'm a Reddit refugee too haha.
Since you're the dev, maybe you can answer a question I have. I just downloaded Connect and noticed if I select a post from a different instance, it won't let me comment or anything saying that I'm not logged in. Is that a bug or am I just not doing something right?
I can comment here using Connect while being logged in on another instance.
Edit: When you go to the sidebar (Ξ), you should see your account selected at the top. Is it there? Further down, you should see settings. Under settings, you should see your instance selected. Is it the right one?
Hmmm. I must be doing something wrong then. I've only been using the app for a couple of minutes so I'll have to keep playing with it.
Disclaimer: Sorry for spamming this. I'm not sure how notifications work on Lemmy.

I figure out what I was doing wrong. I was tapping on the picture which was taking me to the original URL (which was on lemmy.ml) instead of opening it up through lemmy.world.
Now I just have to figure out why I can't see your comment through Connect. I see the comment in my inbox and when I select it I get taken to this post but I don't see this comment or any of the comments in the chain starting with my original comment. I had to post this reply through the web browser.
I'm using connect and am enjoying it. It works really well. I would like an option to always open links in the system browser instead of the built in one.
I'm using Connect now and I like it. It reminds me of Sync. Appreciate your hard work.
I checked out connect because of the comments here, and I have to say that's it's freaking awsome. Really lives up to the sync feel. Keep up the great workπ
Glad you're enjoying it!
Used Sync forever and with Connect now I feel very much back at home, changed the font size and theme and it feels very similar.
Still, great that both and others are progressing so quickly, it's incredible how far Lemmy and apps has progressed in a few weeks!
Lemmy sync would be a better name though.
Playstore changed their rules so only "official" apps from a brand can start with the brands name. Happened to all the reddit apps a long while back and they all quickly had to rename to Blah for Reddit, or just Blah or whatever. Like Sync use to be Reddit Sync.
I thought that was a Reddit rule. Today I learnt.
If I remember correctly, it's a reddit rule.
You remember correctly.
