Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Game. Changer.

I live my life as FOSS-y as possible.

This is the only subscription that I have. $2/mo or $16/yr is not even a blip on most people's radar.

The OG Sync was the most used app on my phone and tablet.

So download, enjoy, and pay the dev! He's phenomenal, approachable, and transparent. This isn't some Flappy Birds knockoff. This is a polished app that allows us to connect with one another more easily. And I'd like to see what features he comes up with next.

It takes a lot for me to trust an app/dev this much. Hopefully everybody else will too and we can help him do even more neat things.

Yep! My sentiments exactly. My favorite app is back and I couldn't be more thankful. Sync was that missing puzzle piece that has completed the Lemmy experience for me. The rest is just gonna be gravy now!

It's far more complete than the other Lemmy apps. They were good, don't get me wrong, but the years of effort on Sync really shows.

Only issue I've noticed so far is an issue I had to fix when I was working on my own app: sorting comments by hot breaks some nested comments. Yours, for example, is showing as if it is a reply to another comment, but the only thing above you is the root comment and three below yours.

Lemmy's API doesn't properly sort comment trees when sorting by hot: you have to sort them yourself. It's pretty straightforward, though. It gives you the path to the comment as "comment1.comment2.comment3" you just have to sort the replies by the path string

Yeah, I've seen at least one broken comment tree on Sync, it confused the hell out of me

I've seen tons. It's the one big bug that's been annoying me a lot. It's super frustrating to want to read a thread and then have all the comments jumbled. I'm sure it'll get fixed relatively quickly, though.

I don't really know how Lemmy chains work, but are you able to see comments from a user that's on a server that the server you're on isn't federated with?

Like say you are on lemmy.world and Other guy is on beehaw and those two are not federated with each other, can you see his comments? Can you interact with him at all?

Right? It's like 4 cents a day. I wouldn't even stop to pick up 4 cents off the ground. For the hundreds or thousands of hours I put into Reddit sync the value prop is more than fair.
