Great news. I’m probably more likely to use Sync, but seeing not one but two well regarded Android Reddit apps migrate to Lemmy is just bloody awesome.
Really missing Relay :(
The developer has just announced that Relay will continue to function and will switch to a subscription model, so there probably won’t be a Relay for Lemmy, unfortunately :(
Me too.
Relay is my top preference.
Relay was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing
I hope Relay for Lemmy becomes a thing. My fav for years.
Same, love Relay. I ditched the official long ago because of their tracking pixels. My pihole was having a heart attack.
Thunder feels pretty close. Turn on compact mode + thumbnails on the right and it’s visually almost identical to how I had Relay set up. It even has the short swipe to upvote, long swipe to downvote actions.
Thunder opens articles in Samsung Internet Browser of all things. I can’t figure out how to change it to Firefox or Chrome. Otherwise I like it OK, although I wish I could turn off the animations
I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
don’t forget about infinity too
Sync literally went off the play store about an hour ago :(
Edit: Looks like Sync for Lemmy is happening! https://syncapps.io/
Same. I used Boost for a while until I found Sync. I imagine the same will happen here.
Is Sync migrating too?
Yes, it’s going to be called Sync for Lemmy and preregistration opened two days ago. It most likely will still be some weeks before it becomes available. Ljdawson stated the target is 6 weeks, so that would be somewhere in the middle of August.
This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Seriously, same here. Can’t wait for this to release.
Same! Let’s goooooo!
Round 2
Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.
Boost is so good I explicitly just made this account to use it in case kbin support isn’t planned. Can’t wait to pay for premium again and feel like nothing changed.
Mine too! I’ve tried other but always came back to Boost.
Reddit user for over 10 years, here for good. I was a long time Sync user and at some point I switched to Boost and I’m not sure why because I also purchased Sync Pro at some point. My two favorite Android apps being developed to work with Lemmy made me create a new account here and I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let’s goooooooo.
For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅
apparently it’s because Reddit couldn’t push out their API update on time. It’s going into effect “… the coming weeks”
I’m registered for this… incidentally it’s the first time I’ve ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol
first Sync, now Boost? Let’s funking go!!!
This is Lemmy now, you can swear if its not targeted
I know, but I find it more fun this way
Not targeted? Can’t I randomly just tell you to go F yourself and it’d be fine?
I believe you have to supply lubricant.
To keep things friendly and all.
LONG LIVE THE KING
Between Boost and Sync, Lemmy is emerging as a promising option because there’s going to be multiple strong 3rd party apps to engage with.
Literally my two favorite (former) Reddit clients by a wide margin. This makes me happy.
As a boost user this is weird… So many people were asking in the subreddit and he never answered. I’m glad it’s happening
Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice
Same. I imagine there hasn’t been anything official from Reddit as they are trying to cut off 3rd party apps on phases to avoid a massive drop in traffic.
Think of it as smoothing the transition to increase their odds that people will cave to “peer pressure” and just download the official app.
I am here because of boost
