    This could bring a lot of new users based on the name of the app and past popularity. I don’t use the Play store but will this automatically update over the old Reddit app? Too bad Apollo didn’t pull the same thing.

      I am one of the user that switched over to Lemmy, just because of Sync. I heart about Lemmy when I opened Sync for Reddit in July, when it wasn’t working anymore. But app showed a message, that Sync for Lemmy is comming. So I created an account on Lemmy. Regarding automatic update over old Reddit app I don’t think so. I think it has different package name than Sync for Reddit.

      A few of the big third party developers on android have started work. Boost, Slide and Infinity are some others.

      Who would have thought that pissing off a bunch of really experienced excellent app developers would mean they’d throw their talent into making apps for your competition.

      If you liked Apollo give Voyager a try, they made it to look and feel very similar. It’s a WPA so it’s cross platform and there’s no app store involved.
