New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

Really hope Relay does the same

If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.

Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like (which is being discussed) api this app would be entirely compatible as well!

I've never used Sync but I just installed it and it's pretty slick. This is fantastic news indeed.

Awesome news, hopefully rif will follow suit

Looks like I need a Lemmy account!

It's mentioned in the comment section that the developer made /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world as the community for the new project.

You'd need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.

@chloyster this would be sick. I prefer Boost for reddit, but this is really awesome too.

[–] Shinespark@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Hey, I'm from the sync exodus! Super excited.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 5 points 1 year ago

Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.

[–] UrbenLegend@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

That's awesome to hear! Hope there's a lot of code that doesn't need to be changed.

[–] Shivaldi@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Yay! I've been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.

Dream come true right there. I used sync since 2012? 2013? A long damned time anyways, and I'd love to continue.

[–] snoopfrog@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Same, I switched between Relay and Sync a couple times in the early days, but I stuck with Sync (pro and then dev) for the long haul. Without that, there would have been no Reddit for me, which is why I'm here now and thrilled by this news.

[–] SoftwareSlicer@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.

I think Christian mentioned he isn't planning to port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!

Holy Cow, thats some freaking great news!

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Ah great, i was almost giving up on such a thing happening (the other devs doing great work tho of course)

[–] NinjaFox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

!syncforlemmy@lemmy.world Does this work?

[–] Raincloud@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world so it doesn't work.
