I do get the “distributed” nature of networks and the underlying philosophy, but only if there’s a common interface where lemmy/mastodon or other similar network created accounts can be used seamlessly in addition to the current behavior.
This won't be pirated mateys, my gold awaits the dev
Awesome, used to use the reddit version and really liked it, switched from the official app and never looked back. Excited to try it out when it releases (also this is my first comment on lemmy, been lurking for a week or so but I think it's time I start interacting)
Yessss I had all but given up hope. There is a god.
Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.
This makes me so happy! I've been maining boost for almost six years now and was so bummed when the dev announced he wasn't going to be working on a Lemmy app. Looks like he changed his mind!
i'll never understand why people used boost. it was so ugly
In my opinion it has the best design out of all the third party apps.
This is most excellent news. 😀
I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let's goooooooo.
I never used Boost for Reddit, but with this many people singing it's praises... ***BOOST FOR LEMMY, LET'S GOOO! *** Sorry, Connect. You're still cool tho
great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse
Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.
This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.
I fucking knew it, in one of the last updates in the menu it went from "find subreddit" to "find community"
Thank you Ruben!
It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.
It's a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.
I have used Boost for so many time before I Switch to Joey but maybe the time use this app again.
Preregistered.
This is good news. Boost was my favorite until I switched to infinity.
This was my fav reddit app. Used it for years. Very excited!
Most excellent, cannot wait!!
Anyone use both sync and boost? I had used RIF so trying to get a feel for how each had worked before leaning towards one
I'm so excited for this!
LONG LIVE THE KING
Fuck yeah. Let's go.
Android users desperately need a better app for browsing Lemmy than Jerboa. Boost and Sync may just be that app.
I was so happy when I found this out. I hope Lemmy gets the support.
Now time for apollo haha Although wefwef is already brilliant
This is a game changer
I am thrilled, Boost has been the best Reddit experience for me since I stopped loving Bsconreader. I don't even remember what my problem with it was, I think it was crashing or.... something, haha.
Boost ended up being a UI I preferred significantly, and I never looked back! This is gonna be FANTASTIC, where do I throw my money?!
This is awesome news. Preferred Boost over Sync/Relay/Rif etc.
