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 :(

Hell yeah! It's my favorite reddit app by far.
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

Register for the download if you will use it, this will show support to Mayayo!
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.
Can't wait. Boost is my most used app on Android and this will be great.
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.
first Sync, now Boost? Let's funking go!!!
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.

As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I'm so hyped by this now!!!!
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'm in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)
I'm registered for this.... incidentally it's the first time I've ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol

This damn near brought a tear to my eye. I no longer miss reddit at all.
Hell yeah!
Kudos to developer!
It's the reason I finally decided to create a Lemmy account. Been a Boost user for many years.
Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go

lol the downvoted post in one of the screenshots, the dev singled out @zac for absolutely no reason and I love it
awesome! boost was my favorite reddit app, im glad the developer sees a future in the fediverse!
I am incredibly happy to see this. Boost has been my absolutely favorite choice for a very long time
I saw that "subreddit" was changed to "communties" in the app recently so I was quite certain that a version for Lemmy is being at least experimented with.
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.
