The more, the merrier!
The more the lemmier.
Yea, I really loved RiF, so I hope we get Lemmy is Fun. Was a paid user and would support again.
This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.

How do you do that?
This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!
it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(
I def prefer people contribute to the existing open source apps (or make new ones), but overall the more the merrier. I’m happy when anyone builds something for the lemmy ecosystem.
I think it’s more of people wanting to stick with the developers and apps that they have used on reddit. Some of which have been using and supporting for almost a decade. It also means more of an endorsement for Lemmy, as some reddit sync users wouldn’t consider Lemmy otherwise. Lastly, a significant number of power users (those that actually post, comment, and otherwise contribute) use third party apps over the official app, meaning that having support for these apps on Lemmy will hopefully bring over quality users and not just a larger quantity users.
That’s my take on it, and I am someone very pro open source.
Wow this is huge. Should bring a ton of new users. Spez really shittin his pants now
Boost dev just reserved a lemmy community also. I edited my post with the links.
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!
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.
OH MY GOD ITS MY DREAM COME TRUE
I’ve been using Sync since 2016. This is incredibly good news.
This is huge! Sync was my favorite reddit client.
Oh goodie! That’s the client I use!
Or, used to use.
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.
Yeeeessssss! <3
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
