Following recommendations from the comments I implemented material you with dynamic colors and pushed content to the beginning and I really liked the result

The idea is to keep accounts synced using an background service btw

I'll keep improving it and I aim to release a build for those who want to test, it's FOSS

Available at Lemmy Handshake

Flutter eh? Does that mean you’re using Ubuntu to develop this? If so, far out man 👍

Great idea, I plan to give it a try soon! One suggestion though is you need to figure out a better name since Sync for Lemmy is a well known app already and this will just confuse people.

[–] gusVLZ 4 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Thanks for the suggestion, any name ideas?

[–] allyougottadois 15 points 1 year ago

Technically Twitter has recently become available lol.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Lemmy get it together.
Lemmy fix that.
Lemmy syncronize.
Lemmy help.
Lemmy shake hands.
Handshake for Lemmy.

[–] gusVLZ 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Really liked the Lemmy synchronize and handshake ones, might consider changing the name before release

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Lemmy handshake is catchy, i'd give it a vote.

Eager to try it out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy know if you do ✌

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Good cause those two are my favorites as well. :D

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Slice, since a group of lemmings is called a slice for some reason lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I like it. Good connection and that app is offering "slices" of info to the data.

Slice

Sync for Lemmy..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about something like Lemmy FediSync? Or FediMigrate?

[–] gusVLZ 10 points 1 year ago

I've changed it to Lemmy Handshake

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nice work!

Unfortunately it seems a lot of users need apps like this now, since the Lemmy network is heavily fragmented already.

That's both a plus and a minus of the technology.

Would be nice with some visual map that shows which instance talks to which other instance, blocked communities, and so on.

For example, beehaw doesn't federate with Lemmy.world. How will the users know this if they are new?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The lemmy.world mfs also defederated from piracy communities

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I just joined Lemmy, is there somewhere I can read how it all works? Seems exciting, I've been saying we need a decentralized social media for more than a decade now.

Great idea but for now I'll just log to the user what couldn't be synced, implementing something like this would be hard for now, maybe a future improvement

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's a big project for sure.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why would I want to sync accounts across instances? Isn't my content automatically federated?

[–] gusVLZ 57 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The ideia isn't to sync the posts and comments, it's to sync subscribed communities, banned users/communities and saved content

Things that aren't federated

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Its really useful. Thank you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Finally a way to keep my list of stupid celeb simping communities from clogging my feed. No idea why I get posts from lemmynsfw anyways.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's useful if an instance goes down (temporarily or not)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] gusVLZ 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's not available yet, but you can follow the project here Lemmy Handshake

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Looking good! I really like the new design

... sincronize is to synchronize what satanize is to sanitize ...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Read between the lines. He's building an app and you here correcting words. God bless you!

[–] gusVLZ 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually I'm not a native speaker and really like when people correct my mistakes, but thanks for defending me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Always there for you bro. You're doing great, love your app, please keep building it. Thank you so much.

Seems interesting, following it on GitHub

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Looks amazing, i really can't wait to try this!

[–] FlembleFabber 4 points 1 year ago

Sounds great

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nice. I was thinking of own instance

[–] gusVLZ 3 points 1 year ago

Sync page looking like this for now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I can’t wait this app to come!
