This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

Seriously, same here. Can't wait for this to release.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Same! Let's goooooo!

[–] [email protected] 91 points 2 years ago (11 children)

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 :(

Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine too! I've tried other but always came back to Boost.

I think most, if not all the major 3rd party app devs are working on something for Lemmy now. Reddit has not only devalued themselves, but made the Fediverse 100% more accessable. I'm a Boost user so this is awesome news. There are so many Lemmy apps in the pipeline. I've tried Connect Jeroba and Thunder. At this point they're all newish, and pretty much the same. Hopefully all this app competition will lead to new innovation. Lemmy users are the winners here. We're witnessing the dawn of the Lemmy app wars.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Yea I love the ui of Boost, I just can't get used to these other clients. It's going to be way more easier to navigate lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

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 😅

Oh yeah, this is definitely hot! Shoot me up there into the endless fediverse! It's time to discover all those niche galaxies riding a nice vessel!

As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I'm so hyped by this now!!!!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Yes this is great! Between this and wefwef which is Apollo lookalike right now for iOS ppl this is great! Just need everyone over to Lemmy now but that'll prob take decades

Boost wasn't just my favorite Reddit app but my favorite App in general. I love the clean design so much. When the Lemmy App is released I will launch the Rocket to the Moon

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK WHAT!?

Last time I checked dev wasn't too convinced of it!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn't interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm registered for this.... incidentally it's the first time I've ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol

I'm in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Kudos to developer!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah! It's my favorite reddit app by far.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

It's the reason I finally decided to create a Lemmy account. Been a Boost user for many years.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

This damn near brought a tear to my eye. I no longer miss reddit at all.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought Rubén said he was going to move onto smaller apps instead of making a Lemmy app?

Regardless, I'm glad this is happening!

Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go

I do get the “distributed” nature of networks and the underlying philosophy, but only if there’s a common interface where lemmy/mastodon or other similar network created accounts can be used seamlessly in addition to the current behavior.

Android users desperately need a better app for browsing Lemmy than Jerboa. Boost and Sync may just be that app.
