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
Me too.
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
don’t forget about infinity too
This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Same! Let’s goooooo!
Seriously, same here. Can’t wait for this to release.
I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let’s goooooooo.
I was so happy when I found this out. I hope Lemmy gets the support.
Awesome! I can’t wait!
This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I’ve been using boost for years, and I really can’t wait.
YES!!! Boost is my #1 app for Reddit. Such a beautiful and loved all the features in it.
Boost is my favourite, so looking forward to getting this!
LET’S GO!!
written from Boost for Lemmy
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.
We’ve arrived
Ah, yes, this is the one.
Just registered for it. While “rifisfun golden platinum” was my favorite reddit app for my phone, Boost is definitely my favorite when using my Android tablet.
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
Is this real??? He said he wasn’t going to do this 🤔
He said he would not be doing Boost for Lemmy, and that he would focus on smaller apps:

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:

I wonder if he put this on the store as a placeholder to also prevent impersonation?
EDIT: Damn, just saw the screenshots. Either this is a very elaborate placeholder, or it’s really happening!
“Contains ads” no thank you
If it’s anything like Boost for Reddit was, it’s unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you’ll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can’t recall.
My point is, ads were non-obstructive
