      They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit… I have learned the following:

      • They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.

      • They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.

      • They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request… That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

        I think there will be a lot of random actions in the coming days. Reddit is really mad right now and admins are taking random actions that are later overruled because it’s bad optics.

    I feel like we need an app that costs and optional subscription but donates a portion to the Lemmy instances that it interacts with. Like a big cash pool that gets distributes based on instance traffic up to a certain amount.

      Or, what if the app had its own instance in the future? Would help with onboarding new users to lemmy for simplicity (of course with the option to sign up elsewhere in app too).

    Let’s be patient with this and not give him a hard time. For those of you who haven’t used Sync before, there was a major update a while back which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus. Please be patient and kind and the result will be worth it!

      I used it just some months ago and discovered the best thing ever, care to explain the drama?

        It had to do with how the cards were presented and how the quick menu and swipe up/down worked. I preferred the previous way but the new way worked just fine. Just took an extra click to use it how I wanted.

        It came down to changing how it looked / worked after everyone was already used to how it currently was. People get upset for no good reason sometimes and this was one of those times.

    really excited for this. for me the death of sync is the death of reddit so sync for lemmy means lemmy is my new home.

    Oh god, the loss of Sync was legitimately the straw that broke reddit’s back for me. I would instantly pay Laurence for this

    Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!

      Sync is one of the big mobile apps for reddit that is getting shut down on the 30th with reddit’s API changes.

      +1 to this, would rather the app supports logging into a fediverse server instead of just lemmy

        Lemmy, kbin, Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Friendica… They all use different APIs, and those APIs need to be supported separately by developers if they want their app to be compatible with all of them.

        ernest is talking about changing the kbin API to be more in line with lemmy’s, which would allow apps made for lemmy to also work with kbin, but they wouldn’t, for instance, work with (or possibly even know about) kbin’s microblogging feature.

    Would it be closed source?

    Good app, but with many trackers, and it wouldn’t work without Google services one day (anti piracy measure?).

      I’d presume so based on reddit sync (monitization primarly from ads and iap). Apollo’s dev at one point made another app (primarly for killing amp links) that was paid and open sourced it, however he had issues with low effort copycats.

      https://github.com/christianselig/Amplosion

      The bright side of a closedsource app is in certain cases it can encourage faster development since the dev can work on it part/fulltime (idk how syncs revenue worked).

      To be clear the post above is my personal view (I could be completly wrong).
