I switched away from Sync to Boost some years ago, but would happily switch back for a Fediverse app. Jerboa is okay, but it doesn’t have the slick look I’ve come to expect from reddit apps like Sync and Boost.
Jerboa has a couple of weird UI issues, like losing your scroll position when you exit a comments thread, and I could do with it having a bit more contrast in the ‘threaded comments’ view, see who said what - it’s a bit pale for my eyes. But it makes some things much easier than the desktop view of Lemmy, like navigating all the federation.
When I read about this yesterday, I was so damn happy about it! I loved Sync for the last ~10 years and I am thrilled to have the dev on lemmy. Its going to be awesome!
When I used Android Sync was my favorite client and it wasn’t even close for second place. But I’m iOS now so I will patiently wait for someone to build something great over here. Android users are lucky to have such a great dev moving over to Lemmy!
Just using firefox android’s Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.

awesome news! i used to jump between Sync and Boost for reddit.
That’s incredible news, I’ve always used Sync

Jerboa also doesn’t have volume button comment navigation, which was one of my favorite features

Yesssssssss.
Glad to know I can hopefully still continue to use sync after the 30th :D
ljdawson said it could be 6-8 weeks for an mvp, you might use a pwa in the meantime
Ah great, i was almost giving up on such a thing happening (the other devs doing great work tho of course)
Hey, I’m from the sync exodus! Super excited.
Sync was my Reddit app of choice, this is great news for Lemmy.
Yay! I’ve been using Sync Pro for a few years and love it.
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!
My Reddit app of choice, definitely psyched for this.
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.
