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

The more, the merrier!
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!
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 really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
This is huge! Sync was my favorite reddit client.
Doesn’t look like Boost is happening as of now, as per the developer.
Baconreader as of now isn’t moving to Lemmy either ☹️ big sad here, probably my favorite interface.
sadly, you are right. But it doesnt close the door completely.

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.
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!
Yeeeessssss! <3
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.
Man, I know it’s a different app but I’d be so thrilled if the Boost dev decided to jump ship and make a Lemmy app. I tried so many reddit apps and Boost ended up being everything I wanted and more.
SAAAAAME
That would literally cement my place here.
How do universal subscribe links work?
/c/communityname@instance.tld
Just 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.
OH MY GOD ITS MY DREAM COME TRUE
