One of the last messages from the developer of Sync had said they were considering making a Sync for Lemmy… The guy’s attention to detail and customizability of Sync for Reddit has me hoping real hard for that.
My first year of college, the only smart device I had was an iPod Touch. After I found Reddit, I installed Alien Blue on the iPod as my first Reddit app experience.
A couple years later, I bought my first real smartphone, which ran Android. And I was so keen to try to find “the Alien Blue of Android” I tried probably half a dozen Reddit apps. It didn’t take me long to recognize Sync as the uncontested best of the lot, and I’ve been using it ever since.
I would actually spend money on Lemmy Sync. Though I’d also love if some of the Reddit app devs went grey hat and implemented token spoofing like Twidere on Android has for Twitter - that app lets me view my Mastodon “timeline” and Twitter timeline in the same feed by telling Twitter’s API that it’s totally the normal iPhone Twitter app.
Considering the Reddit API changes are leaving an enormous amount of mobile dev talent flapping in the breeze, I’m really looking forward to seeing some really innovative apps in the nearish future.
That would be amazing. I’m sure it would be a lot of work, but I don’t think he would be starting from scratch. I would think he could use many existing components. I’m sure many people would pay for it, I know I would.
Someone posted a Github link to a initial method of displaying Lemmy via a Reddit app but I bet it’s incredibly basic and buggy, maybe that will be a starting point for it though? 🤞🏼

Oh my god if JDL made Sync for Lemmy I would buy it yesterday. I was a Sync Dev user for like 5 years, such a great app and the developer is amazing.
Absolutely! Sync was my favorite Reddit app. It’s perfect. Take my money guys.
I’m 11 years into using Sync.

Until now.
