Anyone know if Sync has (or plans to have) an iOS version? Also boy that word is difficult to search for.
I'd like to see Apollo for Lemmy

#32For those of use who are old reddit fans, https://old.lemmy.world was exists and is close enough.
FYI, this frontend is available at https://mlmym.org/ and can be used with any lemmy site, not just lemmy.world, source is at https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
Re: Sync for Lemmy
#33I'm going to have to give this one a huge thumbs down. Injecting ads into a free and open source webapp that previously did not have any just to get people to buy your ad free version is the kind of thing Lemmy is trying to get away from. This is quite unacceptable in my opinion. If the developer removes the ad-ridden version and only makes a single purchase paid version then it would be acceptable as you would be bu…
so you're saying app developers should create apps for free, out of the goodness of their heart while they live in a van because they work for free?
Re: Sync for Lemmy
#34Thunder [1] is also worth checking out. IMO its UI is even slicker than Sync's, plus it's open source and not ad-supported/freemium. If you ever used Relay for Reddit, you'll feel right at home. [1] https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder
ooh, I love relay! thx!

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
> hopefully it means this is also the last time What would make you think(or even hope) this is true? Until users are made to pay (ideally with dollars and not with attention) for a service like Reddit/Digg/Lemmy/whatever, these services are going to keep going away. Eventually there are bills to be paid and/or people who want to be paid.
Instances might go away, but not the Fediverse itself. See IRC, email and so on.
But that’s like saying Gmail can go away but email itself lives on.
Technically true but the Gmail users are gonna be pissed.

Yep. I am so glad this is happening because hopefully it means this is also the last time. RIP Digg and Reddit.

The fact that no one is really in control. I donate to my mastodon instance knowing that if it takes a turn for the worst, I can just go somewhere else and donate there. It’s not flawless but at least no one is holding all the cards.

#37If major 3rd party Reddit client developers adapt and repurpose their apps for Lemmy backends, can it drive significant user base there?

I think so.
The entire reason I'm on Lemmy is because of Sync.
Re: Sync for Lemmy
#39Sync has been my mobile Reddit driver for over a decade and when Reddit dialed its enshitification to eleven and banned third party clients I immediately jumped over to Lemmy, but the available clients weren't quite up to snuff. Good for how new they were (e.g. Voyager) but Sync is a very mature app. Having Sync for Lenny has been great so far, it feels like a lesser populated Reddit, for all intents and purposes, an…
I've tried moving to Lemmy, but as you've said it's less populated, significantly less from what I've seen. Almost to its detriment.
What makes Reddit great is the niche smaller communities and the historical data they have (despite the search being awful). Lemmy sadly doesn't have this, small and even some big communities aren't there - wallstreetbets for example. Even subs with 100k+ users have low hundreds of members on Lemmy.

Well, speaking from experience... most people are waiting for a client that doesn't suck before moving away from reddit.
