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 :(
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 was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing
Relay is my top preference.
Me too.
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 :(
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
I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
Three* Don’t forget Slide.
Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid
Thank you for this great news!
don’t forget about infinity too
If one thing the Fediverse have thought me so far is that you can use them all at the same time ;)
Sync literally went off the play store about an hour ago :(
Edit: Looks like Sync for Lemmy is happening! https://syncapps.io/
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
This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Same! Let’s goooooo!
Seriously, same here. Can’t wait for this to release.
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.
I’ve been waiting for it to come out and it just got pushed to my phone today. This is my first comment on Lemmy! Woo! So far it’s feeling pretty seamless.
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)
LET’S GO!!
written from Boost for Lemmy
We’ve arrived
OMG, cannot wait for this.
Hell yeah! It’s my favorite reddit app by far.
Yay!!!
Contains ads • In-app purchases
Boost for Reddit was a one off payment to remove all ads and from memory was only a small amount
I’ll be more than happy to pay a small fee for the developers work
I actually paid for all Reddit third-party apps with Google Opinion Rewards at some point because I wanted to find the “best” one. Turns out they all looked terrible or didn’t have moderation features, so I had to settle with Slide.
I’d also be happy to pay for it if it was open source. Having a free version on F-Droid and a paid one on the Play Store for convenience would be awesome.
Yeah… fuck that lol. Why would you ruin pefectly good FOSS by knowingly slapping proprietary adware crap on top of it.
Are there any good iOS apps coming?
I’m using wefwef and Memmy for now… wefwef is an Apollo clone
Just installed wefwef and it’s great! Really off putting name tbh but looks exactly like Apollo
Yeah there is no name that’s good but there is an entire marketing time behind Reddit… those are one men projects where marketing is def not their strength but it’s ok for now
I already see a post from the dev on their community asking how to rename the app so I guess this feedback is coming from a lot of people. Currently “Voyager” is winning and that would be step in the right direction imo.
Ohh voyager is a neat name :)
I saw that “subreddit” was changed to “communties” in the app recently so I was quite certain that a version for Lemmy is being at least experimented with.
I fucking knew it, in one of the last updates in the menu it went from “find subreddit” to “find community”
