Official Lemmy Community:
https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
This should open the community in your instance
Looks like the Boost for Reddit Dev just reserved a Lemmy Community…No official announcement yet.

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.
it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(
I def prefer people contribute to the existing open source apps (or make new ones), but overall the more the merrier. I’m happy when anyone builds something for the lemmy ecosystem.
I think it’s more of people wanting to stick with the developers and apps that they have used on reddit. Some of which have been using and supporting for almost a decade. It also means more of an endorsement for Lemmy, as some reddit sync users wouldn’t consider Lemmy otherwise. Lastly, a significant number of power users (those that actually post, comment, and otherwise contribute) use third party apps over the official app, meaning that having support for these apps on Lemmy will hopefully bring over quality users and not just a larger quantity users.
That’s my take on it, and I am someone very pro open source.
This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!
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!
Yeeeessssss! <3
This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
The more, the merrier!
We did it
RedditLemmy!may it be usable without play services
request that he release it on Fdroid!
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.
Really excited to see this! Hoping Apollo follows at some point (but would totally understand if it didn’t)
By the way, is there a working Lemmy client in the iOS app store that is out of testflight?
Not that I am aware of unfortunately.
This is huge! Sync was my favorite reddit client.
Of course Reddit wants you to either sign in or use the app to view the subreddit. I’ve never used any 3rd party app for Reddit, using Jerboa currently for Lemmy. Curious what Sync will bring!
Can someone eli5 this to me? Lol
Sync for Reddit is a popular reddit 3rd party app. Since Reddit is gonna kill them, the developer decided to do Sync for Lemmy instead, but is gonna take him 3 to 4 weeks to get some kind of beta.
