This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Seriously, same here. Can’t wait for this to release.
Same! Let’s goooooo!
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 :(
I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
Is Sync migrating 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/
Three* Don’t forget Slide.
Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid
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.
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.
Register for the download if you will use it, this will show support to Mayayo!
For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅
same with infinity, lol
The api is still no updated from reddit probably
apparently it’s because Reddit couldn’t push out their API update on time. It’s going into effect “… the coming weeks”
Whilst waiting for the boost app to be available, I tried wefwef and its pretty fucking sweet.
Link for android home install is:
That is the smoothest webapp experience i ever had
It is really neat. And a bit weird to have some Apple looking icons on my android! LOL+
Eh, looks fine, but laggy and posts not going up.
Install it on Firefox
? It’s Android.
Yes, use Firefox on Android to install the PWA. Brave also seems to work well from what I’ve seen.
I just tried wefwef, thanks for the recommendation. It’s better than Jerboa so far.
Good to hear, enjoy :)
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.
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.
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!
That is weirdly poetic. Sailing the sea of information to discover the pockets of humanity there have gathered together to scrape out an existence. Bound only by a common idea, they have formed their own home far away for the popular places others have settled.
We are the explorers. Show us your culture, teach us your ways, and we’ll take the story back with us to spread word of the strange and new. We map the path as we walk it and light the way for those who follow.
Your place is waiting for you.
I am here because of boost
Me too!
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)
I’m in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)
first Sync, now Boost? Let’s funking go!!!
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
Saw the post about Apollo going offline and someone added the info for wefwef. Preregistered for Boost but so far wefwef is working great.
Edit: meant to write Boost not Apollo.
Wait, is Apollo coming to Lemmy???
Sorry. I should clarify. I was reading a thread about Apollo going offline and Boost as an alternative so a preregisterd for Boost. I wouldn’t turn down an official Apollo app for Lemmy though.
Ah, got it.
I would love to see Christian port to Lemmy, just for the PR. There would be a lot of coverage if it happened, and the exodus would increase.
I’m dying to see Huffmann eat a fat turd at IPO.
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.
