This won't be pirated mateys, my gold awaits the dev

I will launch that ๐Ÿš€ as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let's goooooooo.

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)

Fuck yeah. Let's go.

[โ€“] Caffeine2001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse

[โ€“] foxrumor@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] Thoxy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] SpezTheSpaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

LONG LIVE THE KING

[โ€“] Species8472@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is most excellent news. ๐Ÿ˜€

[โ€“] obinice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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?!

[โ€“] GatoB@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is a game changer

[โ€“] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How does this compare to liftoff?

Been enjoying that quite a bit

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

Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.

[โ€“] samokosik@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Now time for apollo haha Although wefwef is already brilliant

[โ€“] Poe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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!

[โ€“] ThatBaldFella@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm so excited for this!

[โ€“] leavemealone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] impulse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] Noedel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] adliew@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] Buzzz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

Most excellent, cannot wait!!

[โ€“] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great news! I loved boost for reddit.

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

[โ€“] stebo02@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Actually if this causes decentralized social media to get more popular we should be thankful lol

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

[โ€“] Bird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] IYeetChildren@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] distantlight@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
