I keep catching myself clicking the old sync app out of habit, it's like muscle memory at this point when I unlock my phone ๐ Is the Lemmy update coming as a patch to the reddit app, or will there be a new download when the time comes? Just wondering if I should delete the old app to try and break my addiction in the interim.

Awesome! Will there be an iOS version later on?
Amazing! I cannot wait.
Exciting! Are you starting from scratch or are you able to copy portions from the old code over?
Pretty sure a lot of the boiler plate code would be the same like upvote/downvote, etc.
Just that instead of telling reddit that user pressed upvote, now the app needs to tell lemmy.
Yeah, probably. Although I know with APIs it's not always as easy because one uses HATEOAS, the other's entities look entirely different and stuff like that. Just curious whether the data structure is roughly the same, I never looked at Lemmy's Code or the Reddit API

Can't wait, thank you!
This is great, I can't wait!
Hi lj random question regarding sync for reddit. Do you know by any chance when the imgur rapid api key will expire?
Wow, that's a lot of signups !
I've been using Sync for many years, and I'll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process... I've read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but... if it takes time, I'll wait, no worries. Or I'll create another account somewhere else... I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that's something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I'll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.
That's great news, as someone who bought Sync for Reddit pro all those years ago, and who just heard about/signed up for Lemmy in the last 5 minutes.
Looking forward to trying it out and learning more about Lemmy!
Sync is/was one of my favourite apps since 2013 - looking forward to seeing what the Lemmy experience is like.
Good night, sweet prince. Not goodbye, only until next time.
Loved the app. Looking forward to using it again here!
Already signed up and stoked for sync to make a comeback. Thanks for everything
That's incredible news! Please let me oe the community know if you need any help beta testing.
Waiting for it!
Can't wait
Super excited to see where this goes! :D
I'll being pro again as well!
Can't wait โบ
You Sir, are a legend.
I will definitely use/pay for this when it comes out just as a token of appreciation for your work on Sync.
But it'd be awesome if you picked up support for kbin as well when it's API offerings are fully out, it's my prefence over lemmy by far.
Thank you for your hard work.
I'll being pro again as well!
Thanks for the great work LJ, Sync was my favorite app by far, so I hope to switch over to it once out.
For now, I have really been enjoying using Wefwef. So cool to see so many great apps for this platform.
