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 :(
Relay was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing
Relay is my top preference.
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.
Me too.
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.
Sync literally went off the play store about an hour ago :(
Edit: Looks like Sync for Lemmy is happening! https://syncapps.io/
don’t forget about infinity too
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.
Same. I used Boost for a while until I found Sync. I imagine the same will happen here.
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.
I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let’s goooooooo.
LONG LIVE THE KING
Boost wasn’t just my favorite Reddit app but my favorite App in general. I love the clean design so much. When the Lemmy App is released I will launch the Rocket to the Moon
The promise of Boost for Lemmy is what got me to sign up.
Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice
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
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.
This is the most exiting fedinews I’ve ever read.
Thank you Ruben!
It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.
It’s a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.
Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go
it’s a thing mostly used for games but games and other apps are fundamentally identical
I’m a total noob so using lemmy was a real challenge to get started, but I downloaded wefwef today and it’s basically just like Reddit, very easy to use and feels very comfortable.
