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 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.
Relay is my top preference.
Relay was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing
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
don’t forget about infinity too
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.
Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.
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.
I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let’s goooooooo.
Awesome, used to use the reddit version and really liked it, switched from the official app and never looked back. Excited to try it out when it releases (also this is my first comment on lemmy, been lurking for a week or so but I think it’s time I start interacting)
Round 2
LONG LIVE THE KING
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.
For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅
apparently it’s because Reddit couldn’t push out their API update on time. It’s going into effect “… the coming weeks”
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
Same. I imagine there hasn’t been anything official from Reddit as they are trying to cut off 3rd party apps on phases to avoid a massive drop in traffic.
Think of it as smoothing the transition to increase their odds that people will cave to “peer pressure” and just download the official app.
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.
This is the most exiting fedinews I’ve ever read.
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.
