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 :(

This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We've arrived

I've been waiting for it to come out and it just got pushed to my phone today. This is my first comment on Lemmy! Woo! So far it's feeling pretty seamless.

Just registered for it. While "rifisfun golden platinum" was my favorite reddit app for my phone, Boost is definitely my favorite when using my Android tablet.

Is this real??? He said he wasn't going to do this 🤔

He said he would not be doing Boost for Lemmy, and that he would focus on smaller apps:

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:

I wonder if he put this on the store as a placeholder to also prevent impersonation?


EDIT: Damn, just saw the screenshots. Either this is a very elaborate placeholder, or it's really happening!

"Contains ads" no thank you

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

If it's anything like Boost for Reddit was, it's unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you'll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can't recall.

My point is, ads were non-obstructive
