I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

You're not alone, I've been on Reddit for a long time, 12 years on and off since introduced. Honestly never used it much at all until finding Boost 5 or so years ago and have been a daily user ever since spending at least a few hours a day on it just interacting and commenting. I commented more than I viewed posts lol just was always talking. They've done a lot over the years to irritate me as a user, getting all mecha PC and destroying all my favorite communities should've been when I quit but it wasn't. Half the site turning "blue" when I'm not really into politics, sparking constant political discourse for every comment I made that didn't strictly fit the current blue rhetoric was another straw but I dealt with it and tried to keep my comments as bland as I could while still speaking my mind. But now killing the 3pa and this whole shitshow? Nah, I hate their official app and have only ever even used the site thanks to Boost, before boost my account was unused, so shall it be after boost. You know what, it's mainly bc of how much I hate spez now. It was one thing supporting a company with a blank face that fucked me over at every turn, always blaming the mods, the admins, whoever. But spez? I just can't see helping that guy out in any way after all this.

Hey! I was a big Boost user as well and have made my jump as well. It seems like everyone I come across on here is an iOS user and has been recommending a lot of stuff for Apollo replacements, but have you come across anything that would work well for an Android user that might scratch that same Boost itch?

Boost for lemmy isn't available yet, but already listed in the play store.

I appreciate it man. Great news too. Good to know devs are adapting after being dropped like that.
