    Very happy, but seeing a www.reddit.com link instead of a old.reddit.com or teddit.net link makes me mildly irritated, since I know clicking that on mobile would send me to the crappy reddit mobile site.

    So for those people https://teddit.net/r/SyncforLemmy/comments/14ee1ul/sync_for_lemmy_is_happening/

    He’s the first 3PA dev of a big reddit client to do this. Curious to to see now if other devs will follow or if they will watch the sync dev and see how it goes.

            Should be near the bottom. Looks like the original dev, ccrama, is still afk. But his code is all open source. So some new guy is going through some of the disorganized code and resurrecting it!

        Shit… he stopped development on Slide a long time ago. I used it for years and ended up going back to Sync because it was basically abandoned.

    Great to hear! Sync was my first third party Reddit app. I eventually switched to Boost (IIRC, Sync was having some problems with image uploads and so I moved clients), but Sync was still a great Reddit app.

    Even though I’m liking Jerboa, I can’t wait to see what the “third party Reddit developers” can do. The more Lemmy apps, the better!

    late commenting on this but finally, i’m so excited! sync is the only thing i’m still grieving from reddit, jerboa is nice & the devs have done a great job so far, but a bit too early stage for me atm

    There are many open source alternatives being built. We’ll see how things shake out: https://beehaw.org/post/697419

        Weird that the dev would pick the platform with the least engagement to build an app for.

          It’s not wired at all. I am active on both and the culture on both sites is completely different, so I totally understand when people decide that one culture fits them better.

              I can’t send you a message for some reason. I think it might be because you’re on a different instance.
