Looks like the Boost for Reddit Dev just reserved a Lemmy Community…No official announcement yet.

it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(
I def prefer people contribute to the existing open source apps (or make new ones), but overall the more the merrier. I’m happy when anyone builds something for the lemmy ecosystem.
I think it’s more of people wanting to stick with the developers and apps that they have used on reddit. Some of which have been using and supporting for almost a decade. It also means more of an endorsement for Lemmy, as some reddit sync users wouldn’t consider Lemmy otherwise. Lastly, a significant number of power users (those that actually post, comment, and otherwise contribute) use third party apps over the official app, meaning that having support for these apps on Lemmy will hopefully bring over quality users and not just a larger quantity users.
That’s my take on it, and I am someone very pro open source.
This is absolutely fantastic news! Sync was pretty much my only way of browsing reddit for a long time. This should make the transition much easier.
BTW: Hi everyone, that’s my first comment on Lemmy!
This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!
Yeeeessssss! <3
Doesn’t look like Boost is happening as of now, as per the developer.
That’s too bad, I moved to boost from sync awhile ago because I didn’t like the way the dev of sync was constantly changing the ui and then announced he was going to put some future features behind another (subscription) pay wall, despite being told when you buy the app thst you’d have access to all development features.
Baconreader as of now isn’t moving to Lemmy either ☹️ big sad here, probably my favorite interface.
It’s happening!
The more, the merrier!
Of course Reddit wants you to either sign in or use the app to view the subreddit. I’ve never used any 3rd party app for Reddit, using Jerboa currently for Lemmy. Curious what Sync will bring!
It’s great to see adoption exploding like this. I’m expecting to see a lot more third party Reddit apps making the jump to Lemmy over the next few months. Exciting times!
Awesome. I uninstalled Sync after they stated it would be going down on July 1st because of the updates. It was the a great app. Looking forward to this.
This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
By the way, is there a working Lemmy client in the iOS app store that is out of testflight?
Not that I am aware of unfortunately.
How do universal subscribe links work?
/c/communityname.tldJust type it like that and if you click it you stay in your instance
That is an awful, but functional little hack.
It would be nice if !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world could be supported.
what is sync for lemmy?
Sync for Reddit is a very popular Reddit client. This is the Lemmy version.
That’s great. I hope more reddit clients become lemmy clients.
But what does it do?
Would be great to have other mobile apps fill the gap, so that the devs can focus more heavily on the main site instead of Jerboa.
FWIW, I highly doubt the devs are focused on anything but the Lemmy API right now. In fact, I also doubt they’ve slept in a month.
may it be usable without play services
request that he release it on Fdroid!
