Boost for Lemmy is happening!

This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.

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.

I think most, if not all the major 3rd party app devs are working on something for Lemmy now. Reddit has not only devalued themselves, but made the Fediverse 100% more accessable. I'm a Boost user so this is awesome news. There are so many Lemmy apps in the pipeline. I've tried Connect Jeroba and Thunder. At this point they're all newish, and pretty much the same. Hopefully all this app competition will lead to new innovation. Lemmy users are the winners here. We're witnessing the dawn of the Lemmy app wars.

Reddit user for over 10 years, here for good. I was a long time Sync user and at some point I switched to Boost and I'm not sure why because I also purchased Sync Pro at some point. My two favorite Android apps being developed to work with Lemmy made me create a new account here and I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.

For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅

I paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.

Whilst waiting for the boost app to be available, I tried wefwef and its pretty fucking sweet.

Link for android home install is:

Boost wasn't just my favorite Reddit app but my favorite App in general. I love the clean design so much. When the Lemmy App is released I will launch the Rocket to the Moon

Oh yeah, this is definitely hot! Shoot me up there into the endless fediverse! It's time to discover all those niche galaxies riding a nice vessel!

Round 2

Dude don't posts screen shots. i kept trying to press back on your image.

As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I'm so hyped by this now!!!!

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK WHAT!?

Last time I checked dev wasn't too convinced of it!!!!!

Between Boost and Sync, Lemmy is emerging as a promising option because there's going to be multiple strong 3rd party apps to engage with.

This damn near brought a tear to my eye. I no longer miss reddit at all.

I'm in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)

Kudos to developer!

As a boost user this is weird... So many people were asking in the subreddit and he never answered. I'm glad it's happening

I'm registered for this.... incidentally it's the first time I've ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol

Yes! Boost was my favorite.

Avid Boost user rejoice!!! Let's go boissss

I am here because of boost

I thought Rubén said he was going to move onto smaller apps instead of making a Lemmy app?

Regardless, I'm glad this is happening!

Hell yeah! It's my favorite reddit app by far.

It's the reason I finally decided to create a Lemmy account. Been a Boost user for many years.

Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go

OMG, cannot wait for this.

Yes this is great! Between this and wefwef which is Apollo lookalike right now for iOS ppl this is great! Just need everyone over to Lemmy now but that'll prob take decades

This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.

Hell yeah, Boost rules

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.

Just pre-registered. Boost for Lemmy would be awesome

Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.

FOSS?

Yessss I had all but given up hope. There is a god.

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!

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)

Nice! Really hoping BaconReader follows suit soon as well 👍🏻

Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.

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

This is most excellent news. 😀

I fucking knew it, in one of the last updates in the menu it went from "find subreddit" to "find community"

This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.

I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let's goooooooo.

i'll never understand why people used boost. it was so ugly

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.

great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse

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!

Now time for apollo haha Although wefwef is already brilliant

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?!

I was so happy when I found this out. I hope Lemmy gets the support.

Most excellent, cannot wait!!

This is good news. Boost was my favorite until I switched to infinity.

This is a game changer

This was my fav reddit app. Used it for years. Very excited!

LONG LIVE THE KING

This is awesome news. Preferred Boost over Sync/Relay/Rif etc.

Android users desperately need a better app for browsing Lemmy than Jerboa. Boost and Sync may just be that app.

What is Boost?

Preregistered.

I have used Boost for so many time before I Switch to Joey but maybe the time use this app again.

Fuck yeah. Let's go.

Ah, yes, this is the one.

Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice

Nice! Really hoping BaconReader follows suit soon as well 👍🏻

It‘ll be great to see that icon on my screen again! This is amazing!

No waaaaay! The dev said it's not happening, I'm so glad to see he's actually doing it!

You beauty!

"Contains ads" no thank you

Wohooo!!! Favourite app!

I am really excited for this one . Always loved boost .

I am incredibly happy to see this. Boost has been my absolutely favorite choice for a very long time

Great news! I loved boost for reddit.

I still can't believe spez did this. And continues to do this. What a prick

Wow.. I just uninstalled Boost after midnight. Looks like it will be back soon :)

Can't wait. Boost is my most used app on Android and this will be great.

Hopefully it supports Kbin as well

Great news! Waiting for Boost and Sync

You beauty!

we're up for a treat folks!!

Boost is my favourite, so looking forward to getting this!

Pretty cool. I think this would be a nice place to migrate to.

I was a RIF user and would like to see something similar over here. RIF feed is over. Rip.

lol the downvoted post in one of the screenshots, the dev singled out @zac for absolutely no reason and I love it

NO WAY!!! This is amazing news!!

This is so exciting! Boost was my app of choice for the old place. I'm glad to see this here.

I saw that "subreddit" was changed to "communties" in the app recently so I was quite certain that a version for Lemmy is being at least experimented with.

I am super duper excited!

I think I currently have 3 Lemmy apps on my phone, currently enjoying Liftoff... But will be VERY likely to go back to Boost if to works On Lemmy :)

Awesome pawsome

This is amazing! I can't wait for this to get released + Sync!

Yesssssssssssssss! Thank you for this!

Are there any good iOS apps coming?

I'm so excited for this

I'm a total noob so using lemmy was a real challenge to get started, but I downloaded wefwef today and it's basically just like Reddit, very easy to use and feels very comfortable.

Yay!!!

hellzz yaa

Hell yeah!

Hell yeah, another great app joining the migration. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Keep up the great work.

I know there's a megathread for all lemmy clients, old and new. I just can't find it. Maybe you guys know? Or Is there a community? I just want an actual list of all lemmy apps.

Test

Same. I imagine there hasn't been anything official from Reddit as they are trying to cut off 3rd party apps on phases to avoid a massive drop in traffic.

Think of it as smoothing the transition to increase their odds that people will cave to "peer pressure" and just download the official app.

The promise of Boost for Lemmy is what got me to sign up.

This is the most exiting fedinews I've ever read.

It will be good feature wise, but privacy?

I love how a day ago he said he wasn't going to make an app and then changed his mind that quick. So damn excited!

Super keen, boost was the only app that gets any proper use on my phone

I really like Lemmy so far even though it isn’t perfect yet. Adding a 3rd party app will make using this even easier.

Love it, Boost was my favorite reddit app

I just moved here from Reddit and I'm missing Boost already. Really looking forward to this!

Sync for Lemmy is also happening!

Excellent, liked it in reddit, should be good here, can't wait!!!

You beauty!

I used Boost to browse reddit. I'm definitely getting this when it's out.

I've been kind of expecting this move from a community person like Mr. Mayayo. I'm going to launch the rocket in a heart beat !

Best friggin news all day.

I've tried just about every android app for reddit and have firmly been a boost user since I tried it years ago. I was metlntally prepping myself for sync but now I may not have to!

Sync for Lemmy is coming too and that's how I heard of Lemmy! Excited to be on a fresh internet community, feels nostalgic in a way even though it's brand new

Contains ads • In-app purchases

This is great. Lemmy needs more 3P apps, as most people don't like using websites directly.

Always good to see apps coming over

We've arrived

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boost is my #1 app for Reddit. Such a beautiful and loved all the features in it.

Where Apollo for Lemmy :(

Awesome! I can't wait!

On to the next one. I pay (support) em all

It looks amazing on the preview images.

Noice

LET'S GO!!

written from Boost for Lemmy

Oh mah lord

This is awesome!

I've been waiting for it to come out and it just got pushed to my phone today. This is my first comment on Lemmy! Woo! So far it's feeling pretty seamless.

awesome! boost was my favorite reddit app, im glad the developer sees a future in the fediverse!

I'm a sync guy but this news has me so excited. I will try Boost for Lemmy when it comes out and likely support it anyways.

Wait what, I thought he wasn't doing it, saying he was going to do smaller apps. I guess this is what he meant by "smaller apps"? xD

Well up for this. The polish of Boost on top of the federated structure of Lemmy could be perfect.

Let's fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great news! Love seeing the Lemmyverse continue to expand!

Let's go.

Great news

Most excellent, cannot wait!!

That's great, was using boost for a long time for reddit, hopefully it'll help me navigate lemmy a little easier.

Great news
