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 :(
I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
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.
All of these are missing good comments functions to me, mainly jumping to top level comments. Also, the ability to swipe away content or get to communities/magazines.
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
Relay is my top preference.
Me too.
Relay was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing
Thank you for this great news!
Three* Don’t forget Slide.
Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid
If one thing the Fediverse have thought me so far is that you can use them all at the same time ;)
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.
Same. I used Boost for a while until I found Sync. I imagine the same will happen here.
I went from relay to sync to boost, lol. They were all great but the customizable views were more to my taste with boost.
I’m on Jerboa which is functionally very similar to Reddit is Fun so I’m happy with that. Like you said, good to see boost for Lemmy anyway tho
The more the merrier!
Seriously, I can’t wait to use Sync for Lemmy!
is Sync confirmed for lemmmy/fediverse?
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/
This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Awesome! Thanks for the link!
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.
Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.
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
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.
LONG LIVE THE KING
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.

Can’t wait. Boost is my most used app on Android and this will be great.
Hell yeah! It’s my favorite reddit app by far.
This is so exciting! Boost was my app of choice for the old place. I’m glad to see this here.

Whilst waiting for the boost app to be available, I tried wefwef and its pretty fucking sweet.
