      Oh man, did that work? I was going to do that, but I thought, nah, they’re unlikely to be compatible! Amazing.

        Yeah it worked for me i restored the backup file and my app was automatically setup just like the reddit one. What i did was to logout my reddit account before backing up.

    the app feels really premium than any lemmy app I tried but the ads are a deal breaker for me. I would definitely consider purchasing it to support the developer but I can’t pay monthly just to browse lemmy. Sticking with voyager for now

      Dawson has said that he is currently working on a one time and removal option, so you probably won’t have to wait too long.

      I’m using Infinity now. I was a sync pro user and the ads, tracking and subscription are a nope to me as well

          Which is okay imo. For that the app will probably be maintained for a long time.

            I sure hope it will, but there’s no guarantee. This is still a much smaller and quiet different audience than Reddit’s and this might not be worth the effort for ljdawson in the long run. Heck, there were times when he paused development of the Reddit client despite its far larger reach.

            I’m honestly a little shocked by the amount of open hostility he got all over the Fediverse for simply offering a premium/ad-supported/closed-source-client.

            I’m a little hesitant to pull the trigger on this one, 15€ is just a tad over the pain threshold for an app with an unknown future and there’s still Boost to look forward to - I’m waiting to see Boost’s pricing first.

      Can I ask where you’re seeing ads? I’m using Sync now, and I haven’t seen any. What sort of ads are showing?

              Same here - but I’m also feeling a little bad about it. Every other app? No problem with ad blocking, but i would actually like to support sync.

      I’ve been waiting for sync to be ready on lemmy and installed it as soon as it was. I got an ad preferences thingy and thought “fuck it, the guy got sync of the ground for lemmy in just a few weeks” worth £15.99 for the annual sub to ultra IMHO. Been using sync pro on reddit for years of the back of a tiny one of purchase. I figure for the hours I used it, he deserves more than I paid and I’m more than grateful that sync is back.

    I’ve tried various different Lemmy apps, and this app is exactly what I was looking for!

    I am using it right now. Moments ago I was reading a post on a DnD community and had to do a double take, it felt like I was on Reddit, but it was just a bout of nostalgia after years of using Sync for Reddit.

    The familiarity, the gorgeous material UI, but now with 100% less spez!!

    Thank you for bringing Sync to Lemmy Ljdawson!!

      It really is uncanny. I’ve gone back to the official app a handful of times but the experience is so much worse.

      This is a great experience for Lemmy and I hope this will encourage more people to start using the platform.

      You might be on a wait list because of the amount of traffic using the app today. I got in because I signed up 12 hours after they announced Sync on the Play Store.

        Yeah was like 5mins after I posted that comment it became Available for me.

    It’s like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏

    For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I’ve missed it a lot.

    Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.

    I know it’s early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that’s needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.

    Hallelujah!
