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 :(

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.

Same. And when I saw they would be shutting down, I sent $10. Considering how often I used it, it was money well spent.
