Nice! Really hoping BaconReader follows suit soon as well ππ»
Awesome pawsome
I am really excited for this one . Always loved boost .
No waaaaay! The dev said it's not happening, I'm so glad to see he's actually doing it!
Great news! Love seeing the Lemmyverse continue to expand!
I was so happy when I found this out. I hope Lemmy gets the support.
we're up for a treat folks!!
I really like Lemmy so far even though it isnβt perfect yet. Adding a 3rd party app will make using this even easier.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy currently and it seems to be working okay. Just takes some getting used to, of course.
As of the last update. It has surpassed Jerboa for me. So my ranking for best app at present is connect, jerboa and liftoff.
Jerboa is butter smooth if you are using an instance that is updated to 18. But unusable if you are in an instance that is still in version 17 (beehaw)

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.
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.
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.

great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse
Hell yeah, another great app joining the migration. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Keep up the great work.
Yay!!!
Test
Hell yeah!
This is amazing! I can't wait for this to get released + Sync!
I was a RIF user and would like to see something similar over here. RIF feed is over. Rip.

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.
Is this real??? He said he wasn't going to do this π€
He said he would not be doing Boost for Lemmy, and that he would focus on smaller apps:

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/comment/jouvuok
I wonder if he put this on the store as a placeholder to also prevent impersonation?
EDIT: Damn, just saw the screenshots. Either this is a very elaborate placeholder, or it's really happening!
It looks amazing on the preview images.
hellzz yaa
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
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 :)
Pretty cool. I think this would be a nice place to migrate to.
Great news! Waiting for Boost and Sync
