Exact same feel but with Boost for Reddit

[-] Lemmyin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Everyday I learn of another 3rd party app for reddit which I didn’t knew existed. It shows how big reddit has become over the years and how spez has screwed over sooooo many people with that decision.

He doesn’t care. All he wants is the IPO to cash out.

It bums me out so much. I was a Boost user for a solid 5~ years, been on reddit for about 5½. Finally deleted my account earlier this morning

[-] puck2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So you think this Lemmy thing will catch on? It needs some critical mass but I kind of like it.

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

I hope so. While I'm missing like 75% of the subreddits I used to frequent, I have the skeleton of it covered. With time hopefully it'll bulk up, especially with the huge influx of new users

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think we'll see some more growth in a couple weeks when the 3rd party apps actually stop working.

[-] AbsurdityAccelerator@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Relay for me. I really hope that someone ends up implementing some kind of translation layer for the reddit API that would encourage the existing reddit apps to supper Lemmy.

[-] Doug@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

That would be a spectacular idea.

And I'm happy to see another Relay user. They seemed to be left out of the lists even though they've got a fantastic app

[-] Trabic@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Relay said they are going to try $3/month subscription model.

I definitely got my money's worth out of Relay Pro, but I can't justify the subscription.

[-] SeeJayEmm@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Relay user here. I love Relay. Dbrady is the best. And I have no problem supporting him at $3 a month, but f* reddit after all this. I'm not giving them a penny.

[-] Trabic@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah my problem with the 3 bucks is that 2.50 of it is going straight to reddit's rent seeking. I hope it works out with dBrady and relay, but it will be without me.

[-] SeeJayEmm@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not even convinced at $3/mo he won't be in the red.

[-] impulse@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I find Jerboa to be similar enough for the moment, but it still has a long way to go to match Boost in it's comfort and feature richness.

[-] puck2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is boost gone? I uninstalled it

[-] impulse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not yet, but Ruben will not be able to handle the costs, so it dies with the other ones on the 30th or so.

[-] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nope, I used it today to check up on a bit of drama in my favorite band's subreddit

[-] The1Morrigan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have no idea. I logged out of my account on the 11th and I deleted the app on the same night.
