This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Seriously, same here. Can’t wait for this to release.
Same! Let’s goooooo!
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.
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
Sync literally went off the play store about an hour ago :(
Edit: Looks like Sync for Lemmy is happening! https://syncapps.io/
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.
don’t forget about infinity too
Same. I used Boost for a while until I found Sync. I imagine the same will happen here.
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 paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.
Same. And when I saw they would be shutting down, I sent $10. Considering how often I used it, it was money well spent.
For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅
same with infinity, lol
The api is still no updated from reddit probably
apparently it’s because Reddit couldn’t push out their API update on time. It’s going into effect “… the coming weeks”
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.
I am here because of boost
Me too!
As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I’m so hyped by this now!!!
Oh yeah, this is definitely hot! Shoot me up there into the endless fediverse! It’s time to discover all those niche galaxies riding a nice vessel!
That is weirdly poetic. Sailing the sea of information to discover the pockets of humanity there have gathered together to scrape out an existence. Bound only by a common idea, they have formed their own home far away for the popular places others have settled.
We are the explorers. Show us your culture, teach us your ways, and we’ll take the story back with us to spread word of the strange and new. We map the path as we walk it and light the way for those who follow.
Your place is waiting for you.
Yes this is great! Between this and wefwef which is Apollo lookalike right now for iOS ppl this is great! Just need everyone over to Lemmy now but that’ll prob take decades
Saw the post about Apollo going offline and someone added the info for wefwef. Preregistered for Boost but so far wefwef is working great.
Edit: meant to write Boost not Apollo.
Wait, is Apollo coming to Lemmy???
Sorry. I should clarify. I was reading a thread about Apollo going offline and Boost as an alternative so a preregisterd for Boost. I wouldn’t turn down an official Apollo app for Lemmy though.
Ah, got it.
I would love to see Christian port to Lemmy, just for the PR. There would be a lot of coverage if it happened, and the exodus would increase.
I’m dying to see Huffmann eat a fat turd at IPO.
Some said that they had read Christian acknowledging Lemmy and that he said if it maintains this kind of user growth, he might work on Apollo for Lemmy.
I might live to see Apollo for iPad after all!
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
Round 2
I’m in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)
I’m registered for this… incidentally it’s the first time I’ve ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol
Yea, it’s also the only time I’ve been pre-registered for an app
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
