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 :(
  
  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.
  
  I'm not missing Relay's trackers in the paid app.
  
  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.

  All of these are missing good comments functions to me, mainly jumping to top level comments. Also, the ability to swipe away content or get to communities/magazines.
  
  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
  
  Relay is my top preference.
  
  Me too.
  
  Relay was the best. There were so many great simple features that a surprising number of Lemmy apps are missing
- Thank you for this great news!
- Three* Don't forget Slide.
  
  Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid
- If one thing the Fediverse have thought me so far is that you can use them all at the same time ;)
- Is Sync migrating too?
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  Yep. https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
- Same. I used Boost for a while until I found Sync. I imagine the same will happen here.
  
  I went from relay to sync to boost, lol. They were all great but the customizable views were more to my taste with boost.
- I'm on Jerboa which is functionally very similar to Reddit is Fun so I'm happy with that. Like you said, good to see boost for Lemmy anyway tho
- Seriously, I can't wait to use Sync for Lemmy!
- The more the merrier!
- is Sync confirmed for lemmmy/fediverse?
  
  Yep. https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
- 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/
