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 :(
I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
Me too.
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.
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
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.

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
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.
Awesome! Thanks for the link!
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.
Register for the download if you will use it, this will show support to Mayayo!
I paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.
Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.
Mine too! I’ve tried other but always came back to Boost.
Same! I was always Boost on Android, Apollo on the iPad. So excited to hear about Boost for Lemmy!
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.
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.
It was a sudden switch. My guess is he was on the fence and outpouring of support and donations from his goodbye announcement post pushed him over the fence. I’m thrilled of course, Boost was my favorite Reddit app so I look forward to trying the Lemmy version.
For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅
first Sync, now Boost? Let’s funking go!!!
I think most, if not all the major 3rd party app devs are working on something for Lemmy now. Reddit has not only devalued themselves, but made the Fediverse 100% more accessable. I’m a Boost user so this is awesome news. There are so many Lemmy apps in the pipeline. I’ve tried Connect Jeroba and Thunder. At this point they’re all newish, and pretty much the same. Hopefully all this app competition will lead to new innovation. Lemmy users are the winners here. We’re witnessing the dawn of the Lemmy app wars.
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.
I am here because of boost
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.
It’s a good thing too, because the native feed on my mobile browser is a pain to try to deal with.
I can’t wait for LiF.
They should name it RIF for Lemmy (Reddit Is Fucked)
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
It is really neat. And a bit weird to have some Apple looking icons on my android! LOL+
I just tried wefwef, thanks for the recommendation. It’s better than Jerboa so far.
Good to hear, enjoy :)
Eh, looks fine, but laggy and posts not going up.
Hell yeah! It’s my favorite reddit app by far.
