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.

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 :(

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I'm not missing Relay's trackers in the paid app.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope Relay for Lemmy becomes a thing. My fav for years.

[–] root 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] 1019throw 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Relay is my top preference.

[–] gothic_lemons 1 points 3 months ago

Relay was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this great news!

Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid

[–] kratoz29 10 points 1 year ago

If one thing the Fediverse have thought me so far is that you can use them all at the same time ;)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm so excited

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, Sync for Lemmy has been confirmed to be in development. It has its own community and a channel on the Sync discord.

[–] Kemwer 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. I used Boost for a while until I found Sync. I imagine the same will happen here.

[–] ilikemoney 4 points 1 year ago

I went from relay to sync to boost, lol. They were all great but the customizable views were more to my taste with boost.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm on Jerboa which is functionally very similar to Reddit is Fun so I'm happy with that. Like you said, good to see boost for Lemmy anyway tho

[–] angelorohit 2 points 1 year ago

Seriously, I can't wait to use Sync for Lemmy!

[–] ourobouros 2 points 1 year ago

The more the merrier!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

is Sync confirmed for lemmmy/fediverse?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sync literally went off the play store about an hour ago :(

Edit: Looks like Sync for Lemmy is happening! https://syncapps.io/
