Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.
What should make the first release?

Ha ha ha! Spez is really pushing it.
They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit… I have learned the following:
-
They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.
-
They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.
-
They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request… That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

Don’t tempt me, lol.
That’s how I left Twitter. GDPR request for a full copy of all my content. Then a GDPR request to delete account.
All these points are correct imo

Looks like it’s not that easy
I just want to add that as a European citizen you also have a right to get a copy of all your data, and an explanation how and when this data has been used.
Also, I’m pretty sure that their response “you first have to delete your comments manually” does not comply with EU guidelines.
As a European it is an option for me
Read the update at the bottom. Reddit doesn’t seem to want to comply with the requests. I guess you could use a deletion script.
Then they are in breach of GDPR regulations. If they don’t comply I could see some serious fines heading their way
Wouldn’t they have to have some sort of presence in the EU? If all of their operations are US based (I don’t know if they are or not), can the EU really do anything about it?
They serve people in the EU so they absolutely have to comply. If you have EU citizens on your website then EU GDPR regulations apply to you.
I have done enough GDPR compliance training to make me want to gouge my own brain out but I guess it came in handy lol

I didn’t get that message
I think there will be a lot of random actions in the coming days. Reddit is really mad right now and admins are taking random actions that are later overruled because it’s bad optics.
Awesome news! I used to use Sync daily back when I was on Android, very happy to hear that the users will have some place to go.
Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.
Lmao what? They can’t even stick to their deadline and need to expedite the inconvenience?
I’m guessing it’s because it contains the word Lemmy.
You’re probably right but big boy like Reddit should handle a little competitor talk in its platform.
I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I’m done with reddit.
Sync was Reddit for me.
Reddit dies in my mind when Reddit Sync is no more (I’m gonna patch it with revanced)
If Sync lives on in Lemmy, that’s gosh dang amazing
Jerboa is cool and all, but it’s no Sync :)
Jerboa is … Ok. But using it made me realize how used I am too Sync and the way it works, looks, and feels. So I’m really happy Sync might live on!
And as Reddit had shown, good 3rd party applications determine a lot of the viability of a platform.
Couldn’t agree more!! I’d absolutely love to have sync back!
How does the ReVanced patch work? It won’t mess with ljdawson at all, right?
It wouldn’t benefit him in any way but it wouldn’t really hurt him either.
Woo! I may actually spend more time on the Fediverse. I was a RiF user, but I’ll happily pay for Sync and spend more time here too.
Wow. Didn’t expect this at all. It’s definitely one of my fav Android apps, never mind Reddit Apps. The quality of the Sync app is next level and the level of options it had to tweak the layout and style to suit what you wanted was amazing. Really excited for this!
Great news! Jerboa is fine for now but it definitely doesn’t feel as polished or user-friendly. I’m looking forward to having some more options. I’m following the Artemis development already but I’ll be keeping an eye on this for sure.
give me relay for lemmy and i’m set
Lemmy Is Fun gang rise up
Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!
Let’s goooooooooooooooo
Sorry, i have no idea what this is. Anyone able to give me a rundown
Sync is a Reddit 3rd party app.
MVP is Minimum Viable Product.
The lead developer for Sync is going to work on a Lemmy app!
Sync is one of the big mobile apps for reddit that is getting shut down on the 30th with reddit’s API changes.
This is great, i think i used Sync back in the day even bought the pro version, but moved to other open source apps later
Let’s be patient with this and not give him a hard time. For those of you who haven’t used Sync before, there was a major update a while back which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus. Please be patient and kind and the result will be worth it!
which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
It was so sad because you could tell he put so much work into it. But like a good dev he listened to feedback and ended up allowing it to be customized to how I liked it originally.
I used it just some months ago and discovered the best thing ever, care to explain the drama?
It had to do with how the cards were presented and how the quick menu and swipe up/down worked. I preferred the previous way but the new way worked just fine. Just took an extra click to use it how I wanted.
It came down to changing how it looked / worked after everyone was already used to how it currently was. People get upset for no good reason sometimes and this was one of those times.
Yes! This is great news. Used sync pro for years. Top app and developer.
Would definitely be interested in Sync for Lemmy! I’ve been switching back and forth from Lemmy’s web UI, and the Jerboa app. I like Jerboa, but it has been a bit buggy and in some ways isn’t as good as the web UI, and I think the developer of Jerboa is too busy with improving the Lemmy API to focus on Jerboa.
I used Sync for Reddit for a long time, and really liked it. I did eventually move on to Boost for Reddit, but now that I’m moving away from Reddit in general. I’d like to see more options for Lemmy apps.
Is this going to work for Kbin or do I need a lemmy account?
+1 to this, would rather the app supports logging into a fediverse server instead of just lemmy
Lemmy, kbin, Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Friendica… They all use different APIs, and those APIs need to be supported separately by developers if they want their app to be compatible with all of them.
ernest is talking about changing the kbin API to be more in line with lemmy’s, which would allow apps made for lemmy to also work with kbin, but they wouldn’t, for instance, work with (or possibly even know about) kbin’s microblogging feature.
I’ll be honest, I think kbin’s microblog feature needs work. It either needs to be integrated into the lemmy style posts somehow or needs something else fine with it. It’s pretty confusing how it currently stands.
It needs to be in the sidebar of magazines. There’s no way to directly integrate it other wise, as they’re totally different formats.
But there’s a lot of potential in having the fedi microblogging stream at your fingertips. A not insignificant amount of Reddit is screenshots of Twitter posts. Being able to directly quote Mastodon posts to promote them to a thread would be pretty powerful.
But, you know, it’s a very young projects. The developer hasn’t had the time to integrate things
