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 :(

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.
Register for the download if you will use it, this will show support to Mayayo!
I paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.

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.
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.

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.

Round 2
As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I'm so hyped by this now!!!!
Kudos to developer!
This damn near brought a tear to my eye. I no longer miss reddit at all.
I'm in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)
Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go

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

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

Preregistered.
Hell yeah! It's my favorite reddit app by far.
This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.
Hell yeah, Boost rules
OMG, cannot wait for this.
Dude don't posts screen shots. i kept trying to press back on your image.

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'm sure I read that as well. Hopefully he's had a think and decided that a Lemmy app would be really worthwhile. Excited to see what he creates, as I've used Boost for years and thought it was awesome.
Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.
Android users desperately need a better app for browsing Lemmy than Jerboa. Boost and Sync may just be that app.
