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 :(
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
Relay is my top preference.
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 :(
Me too.
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’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.
We’ve arrived
LET’S GO!!
written from Boost for Lemmy
This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
“Contains ads” no thank you
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
