lol:
I'm genuinely excited though. I've been a long time sync user, and I'd love to see similar features available for Lemmy!
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!
Just WOW! I'm using SyncPro for 9+ years, I'll support this app for sure!!!
How's Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I've never used the former
Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the 'card' approach. Although I'm not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design 'flaws' every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.
Would love a RIF-like app.
Sync was very big on customizability, so it did have the options to make your view incredibly compact as well. By default, it was always set to follow very closely with Google's design language, but you could get something very similar to the density of RIF as well.
Did it have the option to swipe between posts instead of needing to click on each one? It was a basic feature of the official reddit app that I'm surprised more 3rd party apps didn't emulate. Joey was the only android app that I found that had it
An option for a left to right swipe that goes through all posts on a subreddit one by one with a big media-centric post view? I haven't used the official app, but if that's what you're looking for, it does! I can't think of a single way to view reddit that Sync didn't have support for.
Looks like I need a Lemmy account!
A kbin API is in the works, if we manage to make it compatible with lemmy this app would be usable for kbin as well.
Hopefully kbin API will become compatible with Lemmy's soon
Or someone just makes a library that supports both, and clients use that library.
That's what I'm hoping for. I don't want a bunch of accounts depending on what device I'm using, I want to have one account on a platform that I like and have good interfaces for using it.
That's why I left reddit, they removed my ability to do that by killing Boost.
