This is the first comment on Boost for Lemmy

This announcement was the final push for me to create an account on Lemmy. Honestly I don't know if I would've continued using any Reddit-like platform if it weren't for Boost.

As a refugee who migrated because they took away Boost, I'm very excited for this!

HOLY SHIT YES! Say your price, I'll buy it. Boost was THE app for reddit, it'll be THE app on Lemmy for me!

I am registered and a long time Reddit boost user, I will pay again for boost for lemmy, Reddit is dead to me fuck u/spez, the greedy little worm.

hopefully this will make the porn better

I go where Boost goes

I cannot wait. @Rubén making Boost for Lemmy is what moved me here. 🚀🚀's immediately when it's available 🙏🏼.

VAMOOOSSS!!!

Rubén! thanks for years of development. Where can I drop you some Bitcoin? B)

Hyped to see it. Any rough timescales yet? Days/weeks/months?

Been using Jerboa, can't wait until I can use Boost again!

How close are we to Boost for Lemmy? I'm trying Sync and hate it. I miss boost and will buy it day one.

Holy +$@#$%-!! I was floating in the Pacific Ocean for weeks 🥶 after the ship sank. A kind Samaritan pulled me aboard and I'm now safe and sound 🤗💯 in the BoostforLemmy community.

Also am very much looking forward to the impending app release!

Any idea on a timeline?

I will gladly pay.

Thanks for developing for Lemmy!

So excited! I've been a redditor for 14 years, I've tried at least a dozen apps, and Boost was hands down my favorite. Solid apps coming to Lemmy from Reddit is exactly what people need to encourage them to migrate.

@rmayayo@lemmy.world for all the people who don't pay much attention but have Boost on their phone, have you considered updating the app with a big ol' "come to Lemmy" notice?

Thank you very much indeed sir, oh yes.

Pop-Fact: Boost is also the name of an interesting Cadburys chocolate bar in the UK and other regions. I used to love the peanut one.

So excited, can't wait Ruben. Do you have an idea of a timeline as yet? No pressure, but just wanted to have an idea of what you were expecting yourself.

my favorite reddit app reincarnated 🙏

Is a Patreon or something similar in the works for people who want to support this transition?

The first time I've "pre-ordered" an app on the play store. Loved boost for reddit, during the blackout I started the rocket one last time and deleted it. Super excited to get it back, thanks for all the work!

Registered ! Can't wait to launch rocket and see what lemmy has to offer through best interface

Can't wait to try this out and have a reason to launch the rocket once more 🙂

Why does it share stuff? Under Data Safety on Google Play:

• This app may share these data types with third parties: Location, Financial info, App activity, App info and performance, Device or other IDs.

I was unsure where to look for a Reddit alternative, but seeing this app being ported to Lemmy made my decision a lot easier. Looking forward to a smooth transition with Boost.

Yes resurrection! Welcome back for the next chapter!!!

Very excited. Only registered for this now I know Boost is on the way!

I can't wait for this app to release! I've been using Boost for reddit for as long as I can remember and while the current crop of Lemmy apps are okay, they just don't compare to Boost IMO.

Will be launching the rocket as soon as this becomes available, none of the current Android apps have gotten close to how good Boost was for Reddit. Can't wait to use it again

This is the best news. Long time paid Boost user here who will GLADLY pay again for this (please be a once off rather than subscription like before)

Looking forward to this! Thanks, Rubén!

Thank god. Boost is my favorite by a mile.

Thanks, you're a legend 🙏

Thank you, this means a lot! Boost was my favorite app and I'm glad we'll have Boost for Lemmy too.

im very happy to see this

Have used Reddit exclusively on Boost since 2018. This is amazing news!

I'm enjoying my Feddit experience on desktop, and I can't wait for this to drop! You're doing great work o7
