Morning all, Just a quick update to say I’m making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!

    This is great news. I have signed up!

    I must say, despite of how awesome Sync for Reddit was, I think we should all try not to go overboard with our expectations of what the first version of Sync for Lemmy will be. This is testing ground for all developers and expecting the same level of polishment that an app had on its 22nd version might be detrimental to the actual experience.

    We know what ljdawson is capable of, so let’s support him, let’s enjoy his work (I am sure Sync for Lemmy v1.0 will still be awesome), but let’s also give him time to refine his product on a new platform. I don’t know what is involved in the development of this new app, but I do see some points where all other Lemmy apps are struggling, so I can only assume this enterprise presents some new challenges. It is only fair to give him some room for growth and not expect absolute greatness from scratch.

      I’ll bet Laurence is stoked to read: “It’s been 47 minutes since the last update. Is Sync for Lemmy abandoned?” once things are underway

    As someone who bought Sync for Reddit (Pro) back in 2012, I just wanted to express my thanks for all your hard work over the years. It’s one absolutely stellar app, and you can count on a day one purchase for Sync for Lemmy from me.

      Agreed! I picked up Lifetime for Sync for Reddit before uninstalling it in support for Sync for Lemmy, and I’ll be popping for Lifetime again when it’s out! 🤘🏼 Long live Sync for Lemmy 🤓

    Really excited for this, how have you found working with the Lemmy API’s compared to Reddit’s?

    Fantastic - literally joined Lemmy today to be ready. Looking forward to this, long, long time user and now dropping Reddit.

      You use Firefox, don’t you?

      I’ve experienced the same problem. FF’s advanced blocking blocks the call. Try signing up from a shittier browser, like Chrome.
