Sync is being rebuilt for lemmy. It’s definitely possible but it’s less of a conversion and more of a brand new app that looks and acts similarly to the original from what I understand
I’m really hoping some of the reddit devs are interested in helping out the people who were most loyal to them. I use Boost on Android personally, but I would be willing to buy another version of the app that is designed for the Fediverse. I’d pay double what I paid for the reddit app, just to support the active developer of my app.
Christian’s words were it would be a “gargantuan” effort. From what he’s said in interviews / posts etc. I’m not sure he actually wants to rebuild it for another service. It’s a shame as it’s a fantastic app, but every endpoint for every action would need to be re-written, tested etc. and of course, Lemmy and Reddit don’t always have like for like feature sets anyway, and the APIs could be vastly different. Essentially he’d be re-building the app from scratch.
He also said he’s been pretty burnt out with everything going and he just doesn’t know if he has it in him right now. And I totally get it. Dude deserves a break.
Would it be that difficult to make Apollo work with Lemmy? I’m not a fan of Jerboa, but it is what it is and I’m thankful for it…
