Morning all,
As the July deadline approaches I’ve been considering working on Sync for Lemmy.
So I thought I’d start by trying to gauge interest and start a general discussion.
Cheers,

Update #1 from u/ljdawson:

Ok looks like this is happening.
Time for a new subreddit here, more to follow on Lemmy shortly:
https://reddit.com/r/SyncforLemmy

Update #2 from u/ljdawson with an official lemmy community:

… https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy …?

Yup that was me earlier!

    Jerboa is pretty dog crap, so having Sync or Apollo switch to supporting Lemmy, Tildes, Kbin, etc would be great.

      Disagree, Jerboa is actually pretty damn good. Some QOL updates are needed sure, but over all it’s good.

    Sync is soooo aesthetically pleasing. (I’m a sucker for full MaterialYou implementation) I’d love it if I could continue using it on Lemmy, and would happily pay a second time.

      Imagine the smoothness of Sync for Reddit while surfing through the Fediverse… Not my proudest bonner.

          In some ways Lemmy can be slow, but for me some actions have been a lot faster here than on Reddit.

    I’m stoked as hell, Sync was my reddit app of choice. I bought Pro, Dev, and Ultra throughout the years, just to support Lawrence.

    Does Sync have a Lemmy presence? I can’t check the subreddit since I don’t have the reddit app. 😑

    Great to see another app for this part of fediverse.

    A humble request, great to see people willing to buy the app to support the developer. The request is to direct a similar support to the developers of lemmy. Every dollar counts.

    No shade to anyone who can’t donate, those who can please consider this request.

      I would expect it to go similar to how many mastodon-related projects have somewhat mastodon compatible APIs and some apps can handle basic functionality across several platforms. It’s probably for the best to still make small modules for each one to handle differences but it seems very feasible. Or as others have suggested someone can make a library that implements both and provides a stable interface for app devs wanting to support both easily.
