New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

    Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed

    This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the Reddit app to continue.

    With the only two options being continue in the app or take me home

      If you edit the URL and remove everything before reddit.com and the change it to old.reddit.com you can view it without the app

      I can’t follow this logic of Reddit’s. Ohh, a community hasn’t been reviewed to ensure it’s safe? Oh, a community is NSFW? Gee golly, if you’re on a mobile phone you’ll have to use our app to look at it! We can’t have that open to the internet (unless you’re on desktop then you’re all good, until we make an official desktop app)

    As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won’t opt for a “subscription” based app.

      100%. The few bucks I spent on Sync Pro were some of the best dollars I’ve spent.

    Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it’s unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.

    I’m genuinely excited though. I’ve been a long time sync user, and I’d love to see similar features available for Lemmy!

        But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.

    And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i’m sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits…This Elon Effect is stupid to a default

    This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.

    If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.

    In a few months we’ll probably have a dozen Lemmy apps. Sync, Mlem, Memmy (which I’m typing this from), Artemis, and several others I’ve seen posts about are already in development. Excited to see what people create!

      @Beeko @chloyster Hmm I wonder if these apps be compatible with #Kbin as both use #ActivityPub.

      I misread your message and just saw “redditisfun was ported to Lemmy” and got very excited for a very short time.
