      Well yeah, but that’s the difference between volunteering and being on a big salary. Hopefully the influx of new users will lead to more code input though, and more donations.

      Yeah using it rn is pretty ass compared to old reddit and 3rd party apps. Good things coming tho.

    I saw it in the redditsync subreddit already - this is such great news, especially since I’m still struggling to get used to the Lemmy interface. I had bought Sync Pro 7 years ago and it is probably the most heavily used app on my phone.

    Wow, I’ve never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it’s one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I’m currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get “ported” to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.

    So many good news. Glad these developers are also trying out other options since Reddit has started shitting itself.

    It’s exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.

      Same here, I’m so excited!

      I’m more than happy to pay for a service I enjoy so I legitimately cannot wait to give him my money.

      Here’s to new beginnings in the Fediverse!

    I’m genuinely so excited for this and and the same time hoping boost makes one too. They recently dropped their latest update and it looks beyond pretty with the rounded edge cards and adaptive colours.

      Never used Sync (I used RiF then slide) but I’ll check it out when it’s released. The is great news for lemmy and the fediverse. Oh and fuck reddit.
