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 switch to a subscription model, so there probably won’t be a Relay for Lemmy, unfortunately :(
Me too.
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.
Relay is my top preference.
I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
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
Thank you for this great news!
Three* Don’t forget Slide.
Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid
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
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.
I’m so excited
Yes, Sync for Lemmy has been confirmed to be in development. It has its own community and a channel on the Sync discord.
This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Seriously, same here. Can’t wait for this to release.
Same! Let’s goooooo!
Register for the download if you will use it, this will show support to Mayayo!
Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.
Mine too! I’ve tried other but always came back to Boost.
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.
Round 2
This damn near brought a tear to my eye. I no longer miss reddit at all.
Hell yeah! It’s my favorite reddit app by far.
As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I’m so hyped by this now!!!
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK WHAT!?
Last time I checked dev wasn’t too convinced of it!!!
Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn’t interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.
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
Whilst waiting for the boost app to be available, I tried wefwef and its pretty fucking sweet.
Link for android home install is:
That is the smoothest webapp experience i ever had
I just tried wefwef, thanks for the recommendation. It’s better than Jerboa so far.
Good to hear, enjoy :)
It is really neat. And a bit weird to have some Apple looking icons on my android! LOL+
Eh, looks fine, but laggy and posts not going up.
Install it on Firefox
? It’s Android.
Yes, use Firefox on Android to install the PWA. Brave also seems to work well from what I’ve seen.

Yea I love the ui of Boost, I just can’t get used to these other clients. It’s going to be way more easier to navigate lemmy.
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
Iirc he said he wasn’t going to work on a lemmy client earlier. Glad he changed his mind.
Yeah he’s been really quiet about it all hasn’t he.
Will definitely be giving it an install when it lands, I’ve used boost for so long.
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.
