You wanna try again with that title salad

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good thing we can edit titles here.

Maybe he still has the Reddit mindset? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Technological_Elite@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I swear on my left nut I did, not once, but TWICE! Triple checked and is appearing as the correct title. I don't fucking know what's going on.

[–] digitalgadget@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Looks like you have two posts on my feed

[–] James_Ryan@feddit.de 26 points 2 years ago

That title was a wild ride

[–] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't wait to try Reddit for Lemmy

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you tried Lemmy for Reddit?

[–] RoboRay@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd be more interested in Lemmy for Reddit for Lemmy.

[–] Its_Always_420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What about Leddit for Remmy?

[–] Technological_Elite@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe on another heart attack from my brain creating a jumbled word salad.

[–] thingsiplay@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

@Technological_Elite I don't understand what "Reddit for Lemmy" means. Is this some sort of application to convert Reddit posts to Lemmy or access through Lemmy?

[–] Freeman@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Wrong words in title

[–] Technological_Elite@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My brain had a heart attack

[–] torafugu@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Hey, just make it intentional by calling it a joke. Reddit is nothing without its 3rd party apps, and Boost was one of them. It's basically Reddit for Lemmy.

Some time in the distant future, the dried husk of reddit integrates with the fediverse... And no one even notices.

Boost was my favorite app and I paid for premium. But ever since joining Lemmy I've been trying to replace all my apps with ones that are FOSS. I'll have to pass on this one unless things change

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Title gore and double post. You've had one job OP and you fucked it up twice.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

So excited! I'm running the Sync for Lemmy beta right now and it's amazing. It should also have its Google play preload launching any day now with beta release following shortly thereafter.

Edit: sorry, I wasn't trying to hype sync over boost here. I was just saying having boost and sync coming soon together is really exciting!

[–] Technological_Elite@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

This is great! Glad to see 3rd parties switching over to something better!

[–] dub@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where did you get the Beta?? I haven't seen anything official!

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He dropped a 100 invite private beta yesterday in his discord to get a small team of bug squashers together so he can take it the last mile before release. I just got lucky and was hanging out at the right time. He has a preregistration pending with google (they have to approve it) that he hopes will become available earliest tomorrow. This will allow you to preregister like you can for boost. Then he is hoping by end of week to launch the public beta. He just finished up implementing search (which will come to us in tomorrow's update), and is halfway done implementing messaging. Then there's a high priority comment sorting issue. I think those are the last 3 major bugs he wants worked out before the public beta.

The app is smooth as hell. It's already on Beta 12 as of today with beta 13 coming tomorrow when he wakes up and compiles it. It's not perfect featurewise (yet) but boy does it feel like I'm just using reddit. He has a GitHub issue tracker as well so you can see what isn't working atm if you want.

Tldr: it's not quite ready yet. I still use Jerboa for posting and the web UI for messages and mod tools at the moment, but at his current pace, I don't think I'll be needing multiple for much longer

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I absolutely loved Boost. Paid for premium and everything. Yes please!

[–] speck@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bummed he's not building something for kbin

[–] Justly0250 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

kbin's api is not out yet for app developers is what I have heard.

[–] speck@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

That's my understanding too. Although I also keep forgetting that I know that.

Like when I made my comment.

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah this post by the Artemis dev explains what's going on with the API right now

https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp/t/229518/kbin-s-API-is-Almost-Here-and-Artemis-Public-Beta-Isn-t#comments

Apparently there's a PR adding the new API that the Artemis dev is already running on a test server, but it's not official to the codebase that major Kbins are running yet.

So seems like we're very close and that should really change things in terms of Kbin apps. Also Artemis is about to launch their public beta as well and from what I understand it's looking pretty nice. Will be great to have an app that supports both Lemmy and Kbin.

Glad that Boost for Lemmy is here.
