My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks. What should make the first release?

      Yea, I really loved RiF, so I hope we get Lemmy is Fun. Was a paid user and would support again.

        1000%. I’m currently using Jerboa for Lemmmy, which is pretty similar, but I loved RiF’s UI and general “no frills” layout.

        If TalkLittle came out with a Lemmy/Kbin browser, I’d get it in a heartbeat.

          Jerboa lacks a lot of customization features but hopefully it keeps improving. Sync was my absolutely favourite though and if LJ can replicate those features in the lemmy app it’ll be a no-brainer for me to use Sync.

        Infinity for Reddit was my 3rd Party app of choice, boy what I would give for Infinity for Lemmy, seriously hoping

          Same with Infinity for Android, though I did use Sync on iOS.

        Brilliant. I love the Boost client and having it would significantly increase my Lemmy usage.

        Omg this is amazing, I was actually a longtime Boost user but didn’t want to rain on the Sync parade in this thread.

        On another note, I never received a notification about this reply, just noticed it now. I would assume that has something to do with the server strain at lemmy.ml?

        Edit: I’m sorry, I can’t find the link to the boost community. Please send it over when you get a chance.

    This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.

    This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!

    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.

      You should be able to keep it alive for some time by patching it with revanced.

      I’ll use Sync until the world stops turning.

      It’s the best app UI/UX wise in terms of customizability. Basically, everyone wins.

    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.

        For sure, even so, it’ll be good to have a really solid mobile app option that doesn’t take any of their focus in the future.

    Any app right now would be great. The web needs some UI tweaks. I hope Apollo comes to light.

    Can someone tell me what advantages Sync has/had over Slide or Infinity? These are the two apps I’ve been using.

      It’s entirely about your UI preferences, really. Most third party apps had feature parity, and the features they didn’t were more niche. Boost was my preference for a more graphical experience, and RIF was my default for its simplicity.

      As an extensive user of Sync let me say.

      The ability to customize change layout, Twitter previews in posts, ability to open comments, subreddits in windows.

      It’s ability to cache comments/threads/videos. So, if android decides to kill Sync due to limited resources I can start where I left instead of having every thing reload from scratch. And lots more. The dynamic Material you theme and the beautiful UI should not be forgotten.

      It’s multi windows feature with its caching feature made it indisputable for me. I had anywhere from 3-6 windows or more active to jump back in anytime. If he brings that to lemmy it would make interacting with lemmy that much more awesome. Waiting to see what’s he got in store for us.

      Here’s a screenshot to show what I mean by multi windows:

    Man, I know it’s a different app but I’d be so thrilled if the Boost dev decided to jump ship and make a Lemmy app. I tried so many reddit apps and Boost ended up being everything I wanted and more.

    This was my favorite Reddit app. So happy to see it coming to Lemmy now that I’ve moved on from Reddit.

    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!
