Sync is also dead. They just sent out a push notification: "Sync for reddit had shutdown. Thank you for using Sync. It's been one hell of a ride."

Yep. It was fun. I'm done with reddit I guess.

apparently there is going to be a Sync for Lemmy. Hopefully we also get Apollo for Lemmy and get rid of reddit for good.

  On that note, does anyone know if there’s any decent lemmy mobile apps? I searched a bit but couldn’t find anything meaningful

    https://join-lemmy.org/apps https://join-lemmy.org/apps this page lists various Lemmy interfaces. I've just joined the mlem testflight and it's decent. It also seems to be improving quite quickly now that people are flooding to Lemmy.

    For Android there's Jerboa which seems to have the most features and Liftoff which is still getting there. Personally I like Thunder which supports iOS as well, I got it off GitHub

      While Jerboa is an app created by the core developer of Lemmy, it's not as official app and the developer treat it as a personal project and freely blocks any instance he don't like there. I understand it's within his right to do so, but I still find it concerning due to his association with Lemmy and how many people think it's the official app.

  On a similar note, the Boost dev who previously said they were not interested in making a Lemmy app seems to have changed their mind, their Play store account now has Boost for Lemmy available for pre-registration (waitlist essentially).

There was a brilliant little Reddit app for the Apple Watch (!) called Nano. It is also dead. Such a shame. Made it super easy to browser Reddit anywhere. The same dev also has “mini” Apple Watch apps for Steam, Wikipedia, and Elon’s Musk.

sigh. Android Sync was one of the best reddit apps i have used. it had tons of customization, never crashed, snappy, had multi-window support etc. Apollo on iOS was a distant second.

  Agreed, Sync was perfection. It got a little rocky with the redesign, but I think the dev handled it masterfully by rolling back for a bit and taking stock. The re-launch allowed you to configure the UI of the app any way you liked, so you could go for an "old.reddit" style information dense UI if you wanted it.

    Sync was exquisite I just had to pay for it. Apollo was good, I used it on iPad, but Sync captured well so many of reddit little things like domain browsing, multireddits etc
