New subreddit talking about it here. I’m assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

    Lol I clicked the link and reddit showed

    This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the Reddit app to continue.

    With the only two options being continue in the app or take me home

      If you edit the URL and remove everything before reddit.com and the change it to old.reddit.com you can view it without the app

      I can’t follow this logic of Reddit’s. Ohh, a community hasn’t been reviewed to ensure it’s safe? Oh, a community is NSFW? Gee golly, if you’re on a mobile phone you’ll have to use our app to look at it! We can’t have that open to the internet (unless you’re on desktop then you’re all good, until we make an official desktop app)

    Wow, tried to view it on my mobile and just got a pop up from reddit saying it’s unreviewed content and I should be careful, ONLY giving me the options either to leave or download the official reddit app to view it.

    This is the new community on Lemmy

    Edit of course it’s a lemmy.world community. Sorry guys, I’m not on the beehaw instance so I see both.

    This accelerated my plans to join Lemmy immensely and, et voila. Sync is probably the best software app I have on my phone, simply from a design perspective.

    As someone who paid for Sync Pro, I would gladly pay the developer again for a Lemmy app. I just hope /u/ljdawson won’t opt for a “subscription” based app.

    If Boost for Reddit shifts to Lemmy/kbin, I would be overjoyed.

    And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i’m sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits…This Elon Effect is stupid to a default

          There wasn’t a catcha or verification system on that server, so they had lots of accounts spamming Beehaw.

    Mlem is a good beginning, but I hope for an Apollo-level quality app for Lemmy. It’ll come, in time. And perhaps SyncForLemmy will be just that!

      That is our goal with Mlem. And trust me, our team is working, as absolutely fast as we can! Keep in mind, though, we’re starting from scratch. 😁

      There is another new app that seems to be taking some inspiration from Apollo. It’s also meant to work with kbin (kbin support first since it lacks any apps currently). https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp

      Have to assume it’ll be Android-only like Sync for Reddit is/was, right?

        There was a Sync for iOS beta at one point… in the dark days before Apollo.
