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 :(

This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Seriously, same here. Can't wait for this to release.

Round 2
Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.
Mine too! I've tried other but always came back to Boost.
Boost is so good I explicitly just made this account to use it in case kbin support isn't planned. Can't wait to pay for premium again and feel like nothing changed.
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 will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let's goooooooo.
I'm registered for this.... incidentally it's the first time I've ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol
For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅
apparently it's because Reddit couldn't push out their API update on time. It's going into effect "... the coming weeks"
first Sync, now Boost? Let's funking go!!!
This is Lemmy now, you can swear if its not targeted
I know, but I find it more fun this way
Not targeted? Can't I randomly just tell you to go F yourself and it'd be fine?
I believe you have to supply lubricant.
To keep things friendly and all.
LONG LIVE THE KING
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.

I know there's a megathread for all lemmy clients, old and new. I just can't find it. Maybe you guys know? Or Is there a community? I just want an actual list of all lemmy apps.

Awesome, used to use the reddit version and really liked it, switched from the official app and never looked back. Excited to try it out when it releases (also this is my first comment on lemmy, been lurking for a week or so but I think it's time I start interacting)
This is the most exiting fedinews I've ever read.
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!
I am here because of boost
The promise of Boost for Lemmy is what got me to sign up.
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
Same. I imagine there hasn't been anything official from Reddit as they are trying to cut off 3rd party apps on phases to avoid a massive drop in traffic.
Think of it as smoothing the transition to increase their odds that people will cave to "peer pressure" and just download the official app.
Thank you Ruben!
It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.
It's a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.
Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice
As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I'm so hyped by this now!!!!
Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go

I'm in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)
OMG, cannot wait for this.
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

I never used Boost for Reddit, but with this many people singing it's praises... ***BOOST FOR LEMMY, LET'S GOOO! *** Sorry, Connect. You're still cool tho
I literally just discovered Connect after trying in vain to get Jerboa to work ahah. I'm so used to Boost, I can't wait for it to be inolimented here.
I paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.
Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.
