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.
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
Yes, it’s going to be called Sync for Lemmy and preregistration opened two days ago. It most likely will still be some weeks before it becomes available. Ljdawson stated the target is 6 weeks, so that would be somewhere in the middle of August.

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 :(
Me too.
Relay was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing
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 is my top preference.

I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
Thank you for this great news!
If one thing the Fediverse have thought me so far is that you can use them all at the same time ;)
Three* Don’t forget Slide.
Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid
don’t forget about infinity too
Sync literally went off the play store about an hour ago :(
Edit: Looks like Sync for Lemmy is happening! https://syncapps.io/
Is Sync migrating too?

I’m so excited
Yes, Sync for Lemmy has been confirmed to be in development. It has its own community and a channel on the Sync discord.
Same. I used Boost for a while until I found Sync. I imagine the same will happen here.
