    Our Laurence, who art on Lemmy, Hallowed be thy app.

    Thy Sync be done, thy beta come, On Lemmy, as it was on Reddit.

    Give us this day, our daily build, And forgive us our non-Sync apps.

    As we forgive those who Revanced without us.

    Lead us not into new Reddit, But deliver us from spez.

    Edit: Thanks, good idea. However I liked my abruptness at the end, it makes you think.

      Considering the API/experience is quite different (with its own nuances) in the fediverse, the idea to create an app from scratch was a good idea. Copying and pasting UI code and framework from Sync aside. Especially when the platform is being improved to handle some meaningful load/traffic right now and is clearly needing further development - he’s got time. We are already week 4 of a 3-6 week estimate, and he’s teasing us with some very nice screenshots already. Reddit gave very short notice of the API changes, and they then carried them out. Ultimate subscribers leaving in droves, sadly. Even with the choice he was just making about usernames, it’s clear to me that he’s been putting a lot of attention to detail in the first appearance of Sync for Lemmy. Everything is important when it comes to being a class leader, there is nothing more important than setting the example that others follow or copy. When other developers come into your Lemmy community and try to snipe users so blatently as what has happened - is it any wonder he’s wanting perfection!

      It’s about sending a message. He’s clearly wanting to show these other android developer noobs how it’s done.

    This looks great. Nothing against Jerboa, but as a user of Sync for 11 years, I look forward to purchasing Sync for Lemmy!

      Agreed. But I have been enjoying trying out some different Lemmy apps. Liftoff is pretty good! But there’s nothing yet that sway me from Sync.

    I hope there’s an option to see the upvotes as well as downvotes rather than just the total. That’s one thing I’ve liked about Jerboa so far that other apps aren’t doing.

    I love sync but…who doesn’t use darkmode? That just burned my retinas.

      Come on, we all know the situation with 3rd party apps and NSFW content, you don’t have to rub us off.

    I need dark mode, serif fonts, and very very large text. I’m not the only one. If you’re able to pass that on and I see it done, I’m there. If not I’ll have to wait for an app that does this.
