Boost for Lemmy is happening!

Great news. I'm probably more likely to use Sync, but seeing not one but two well regarded Android Reddit apps migrate to Lemmy is just bloody awesome.

This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.

Between Boost and Sync, Lemmy is emerging as a promising option because there's going to be multiple strong 3rd party apps to engage with.

Fuck yes. Boost was my favorite reddit app.

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

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK WHAT!?

Last time I checked dev wasn't too convinced of it!!!!!

LONG LIVE THE KING

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.

Can't wait. Boost is my most used app on Android and this will be great.

Hell yeah! It's my favorite reddit app by far.

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

Whilst waiting for the boost app to be available, I tried wefwef and its pretty fucking sweet.

Link for android home install is:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

Here's the link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy

Sync for Lemmy is also happening!

Yes! This is the proper response to Reddit's API changes.

Reddit user for over 10 years, here for good. I was a long time Sync user and at some point I switched to Boost and I'm not sure why because I also purchased Sync Pro at some point. My two favorite Android apps being developed to work with Lemmy made me create a new account here and I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Round 2

I think I currently have 3 Lemmy apps on my phone, currently enjoying Liftoff... But will be VERY likely to go back to Boost if to works On Lemmy :)

lol the downvoted post in one of the screenshots, the dev singled out @zac for absolutely no reason and I love it

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

It will be good feature wise, but privacy?

I paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.

This damn near brought a tear to my eye. I no longer miss reddit at all.

I really like Lemmy so far even though it isn’t perfect yet. Adding a 3rd party app will make using this even easier.

first Sync, now Boost? Let's funking go!!!

For some reason, Boost for Reddit is still working too 😅

No waaaaay! The dev said it's not happening, I'm so glad to see he's actually doing it!

I just moved here from Reddit and I'm missing Boost already. Really looking forward to this!

Can't believe how many lemmy clients we're getting in such a short span. Exciting times ahead boys!

I am here because of boost

FOSS?

Boost and Sync were my top two over the years. Happy to see Boost is making this switch too!

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?!

Wohooo!!! Favourite app!

Android users desperately need a better app for browsing Lemmy than Jerboa. Boost and Sync may just be that app.

Oh yeah, this is definitely hot! Shoot me up there into the endless fediverse! It's time to discover all those niche galaxies riding a nice vessel!

I was a RIF user and would like to see something similar over here. RIF feed is over. Rip.

Boost wasn't just my favorite Reddit app but my favorite App in general. I love the clean design so much. When the Lemmy App is released I will launch the Rocket to the Moon

The promise of Boost for Lemmy is what got me to sign up.

As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I'm so hyped by this now!!!!

awesome! boost was my favorite reddit app, im glad the developer sees a future in the fediverse!

Great news! Love seeing the Lemmyverse continue to expand!

Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice

Yes this is great! Between this and wefwef which is Apollo lookalike right now for iOS ppl this is great! Just need everyone over to Lemmy now but that'll prob take decades

Well I'm buying it once it releases.

I'm in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)

I'm registered for this.... incidentally it's the first time I've ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol

I was so happy when I found this out. I hope Lemmy gets the support.

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 used Boost to browse reddit. I'm definitely getting this when it's out.

Still not 100% sold on Lemmy, but Boost with a good implementation could be the thing that changes my mind!

This sad day is becoming a very hopeful day! I'm so glad! 🥳

Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go

Really happy that Boost and Sync are coming to Lemmy. WefWef.app has been a good replacement for Apollo on the iOS side

Avid Boost user rejoice!!! Let's go boissss

It's the reason I finally decided to create a Lemmy account. Been a Boost user for many years.

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.

Kudos to developer!

It looks amazing on the preview images.

This is so exciting! I used boost for reddit for 6 years and loved it! Can't wait to use it with lemmy

Great news! I loved boost for reddit.

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

I love how a day ago he said he wasn't going to make an app and then changed his mind that quick. So damn excited!

I thought Rubén said he was going to move onto smaller apps instead of making a Lemmy app?

Regardless, I'm glad this is happening!

I was using it for last few years, and it's one of the best 3rd part app for reddit.

Yes! Boost was my favorite.

That UI....my god it's gorgeous. This is going to be a game changer for Lemmy.

Dude don't posts screen shots. i kept trying to press back on your image.

I was already on kbin thanks to the recent reddit fuckery.

Literally made an account here on lemmy.world after Boost's announcement just now.

Having my favorite Reddit app come over here with me is such good news.

Boost is my favourite, so looking forward to getting this!

OMG, cannot wait for this.

NO WAY!!! This is amazing news!!

I do get the “distributed” nature of networks and the underlying philosophy, but only if there’s a common interface where lemmy/mastodon or other similar network created accounts can be used seamlessly in addition to the current behavior.

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!

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

Are there any good iOS apps coming?

I never used Boost for Reddit, but with this many people singing it's praises... ***BOOST FOR LEMMY, LET'S GOOO! *** Sorry, Connect. You're still cool tho

Is this real??? He said he wasn't going to do this 🤔

He said he would not be doing Boost for Lemmy, and that he would focus on smaller apps:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/comment/jow1le5

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!

Just pre-registered. Boost for Lemmy would be awesome

Jerboa has been a really similar experience to Boost so far, compared to other Lemmy apps. However, Boost had some features I've been missing dearly, I'm so glad to hear this!

I'll definitely use it when it releases!

YEAAAAHHH BOOOST, WE LOVE BOOST

Oh HELL yea. I've been using Boost ever since I moved from Sync like 6 years ago. This is fantastic news.

I like using boost for reddit, very fast and responsive than the reddit app. I will definitely sign up for this

Preregistered.

Hell yeah, Boost rules

Why does it have to be so hard to find communities? Trying to add this, but it doesn't show up: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy

Should I just leave lemm.ee since it has trouble finding every single community?

Seeing all these new Lemmy apps popping up.. such a nice view

yeah?? fuck year! I thought. I thought he wasnt gonna do a port, last I checked the boost subreddit it was said it wasnt happening so this is awesome.

i will gladly pay for boost premium again.

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)

Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.

That's amazing. Boost was my favorite app for reddit. Do you know when we can expect it to be ready for use?

That's great, was using boost for a long time for reddit, hopefully it'll help me navigate lemmy a little easier.

Yessss I had all but given up hope. There is a god.

I know there's a megathread for all lemmy clients, old and new. I just can't find it. Maybe you guys know? Or Is there a community? I just want an actual list of all lemmy apps.

FUCK YEAH

On iOS now, but this was my goto when on Android. Happy it’s making the switch !

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

I am super duper excited!

Nice! Really hoping BaconReader follows suit soon as well 👍🏻

What is Boost?

Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.

May reddit turn into digg.

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

This is great! I was so sad when Rubén.said he wouldn't develop boost for lemmy. I think he did create a community as a kind of placeholder, so maybe i should go find it again

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boost is my #1 app for Reddit. Such a beautiful and loved all the features in it.

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

On to the next one. I pay (support) em all

That's great. I've been using boost for years, can't wait to have them for lemmy!

Insane how everyone is fast about Lemmy.

Now time for apollo haha Although wefwef is already brilliant

Noice

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

great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse

Super keen, boost was the only app that gets any proper use on my phone

This is a game changer

This is great. Lemmy needs more 3P apps, as most people don't like using websites directly.

How does this compare to liftoff?

Been enjoying that quite a bit

Boooooost! Thank you for coming to Lemmy~ It'll make ditching Reddit that much easier.

This is most excellent news. 😀

Great, will be using the app once it's finalized !! Poss off reddit, won't use your shit app

Yessss.

That's all I have to say.

This is awesome!

Fuck yeah. Let's go.

Woohoo! This one is my app of choice. So excited to see it coming to Lemmy.

I've used the app for years, I'm pretty happy it's getting it's lemmy version, it's a surprise but a welcome one.

Where Apollo for Lemmy :(

Psyched about this!

Nice! Really hoping BaconReader follows suit soon as well 👍🏻

I'm so excited for this!

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

I'm stoked, I was sad because I was going to uninstall Boost for Reddit today. Glad to see Boost will still live!

Nice. Jerboa is inspired by it, but it's nowhere even close to Boost yet.

Sync for Lemmy is coming too and that's how I heard of Lemmy! Excited to be on a fresh internet community, feels nostalgic in a way even though it's brand new

I'm so excited for this

Great news

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

Hopefully it supports Kbin as well

Great to see! I really liked Boost

Boom! This made my day weekend. Wish I could give a post gold.

Well up for this. The polish of Boost on top of the federated structure of Lemmy could be perfect.

This is great news, used boost for years.

This is good news. Boost was my favorite until I switched to infinity.

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

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

Oh mah lord

Awesome! I can't wait!

Most excellent, cannot wait!!

Pre registered for it, thank you!

Great news! Waiting for Boost and Sync

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

Best news of the day!

WHAT. This literally just made me yell out loud haha. This isn't some sick joke right? Or a hallucination? When I askerhim before he said he wasn't going to be making boost for lemmy....

Edit: It's not a joke, I just registered on the play store. This is so awesome.

I am very very happy to see this!

This was the news that got me to sign up, looking forward to the future of Boost!

YESSSSS I honestly didn't think boost would

Really look forward to this!

This is really fucking exciting.. I just donated money through their boost app by "launching the rocket"

Boost was my favorite android client so happy to hear this! Now using a iPhone tho

Gimme

Jokes aside, super excited for this. Paid for the Boost for Reddit app and will gladly pay again for Lemmy.

Best friggin news all day.

I've tried just about every android app for reddit and have firmly been a boost user since I tried it years ago. I was metlntally prepping myself for sync but now I may not have to!

I am so glad Ruben decided to port Boost to Lemmy. Hopefully it will be released soon.

Hell yeah!

we're up for a treat folks!!

That's weird, I saw the developer on Reddit say a few days ago he wasn't going to make an app for lemmy..

https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/comment/jovy7ku

This is awesome news indeed!

So happy about this! No longer all gloom-and-doom situation. Now it's up to us to make our communities as vibrant as possible

LET'S FUCKING GO.

On a different note, I tried opening boost for reddit and it works fine?

Yay, Boost!

It‘ll be great to see that icon on my screen again! This is amazing!

I signed up here because of the promise of a decent app. Hope this place grows and beat reddit!

Awesome pawsome

Yay!!!

Long time Boost user here. I'd gladly pay again for this.

Test

This makes me irrationally happy.

hell yeah! great news

This was my go to Reddit app for years. Registered for the installation!

Boost is back 😂

You beauty!

Bloody hell I thought Rubén wasn't going to do this. I am a hundred percent excited.

hey, that was my go-to app! im stoked

You beauty!

This great news.

I paid for both Boost and Sync as I kept filtering between the two, for me Sync had an edge but don't ask me why, because even I dont really know.

Just for me they were the best two android apps so to them both coming to Lemmy is great news.

Yes!!

Wait what, I thought he wasn't doing it, saying he was going to do smaller apps. I guess this is what he meant by "smaller apps"? xD

Exciting news! Loved boost for Reddit, will definitely use it for Lemmy!

Oooh!! 🔥🔥💯👑

Yesssssssssssssss! Thank you for this!

LETS FUCKING GOO!!!! I loved boost

My favorite Reddit client, I was bummed when I moved to IOS and found that I I can’t have boost. I don’t think he’ll create an iOS app, but if you’re on android, please give this app a try, it’s amazing.

Contains ads • In-app purchases

This is amazing news. Can't wait!

Use open source clients.

Hell yeah, another great app joining the migration. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Keep up the great work.

Nice

I've been kind of expecting this move from a community person like Mr. Mayayo. I'm going to launch the rocket in a heart beat !

Infinity for lemmy anyone ?

This is the most exiting fedinews I've ever read.

Ludicrously happy - he had said he was going to be working on smaller apps. Boost is why I have used reddit so much these past years - as of right now it's still online, but I suspect withing a few hours it will no longer function.

God I love to see this. What gifts, all these apps! I've used 4 so far and they all rock. I can't make up my mind.

This is really good news!

Yo boost was the shit when so was on android. I really hope Apollo does the same thing.

That's also not a FOSS app, is it

Nice, can't wait for it.

Yes!!! I used Boost and loved it

Pretty cool. I think this would be a nice place to migrate to.

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.

This is the best news I've had in the last few days.

This is amazing! I can't wait for this to get released + Sync!

Same. I imagine there hasn't been anything official from Reddit as they are trying to cut off 3rd party apps on phases to avoid a massive drop in traffic.

Think of it as smoothing the transition to increase their odds that people will cave to "peer pressure" and just download the official app.

Yay

Oh boi my favorite app coming to Lemmy can't wait!

hellzz yaa

Always good to see apps coming over

This is awesome!

Let's go.

Holy shit yes, nice!

That was probably on third place right after Relay & Infinity for me.
Any word on kbin support?

Is this an Android app?

LET'S GO!!

written from Boost for Lemmy

Most excellent, cannot wait!!

All right now we just need the news that Apollo is coming for Lemmy!

neat!

I hope Infinity will migrate as well

You beauty!

We've arrived

This is super exciting, hoping he either adds Kbin support or also makes a Boost for Kbin. Boost for Reddit was my go to for Reddit on mobile

Lets goooo!

Now we're talking

Aw yiss this is great news.

Really wish it was on iOS too. Reluctantly switched from Android and it's the one app I really miss.

Sweet! Another one! I'm just over here collecting apps to try with lemmy! This is exciting!

Let's fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I've been waiting for it to come out and it just got pushed to my phone today. This is my first comment on Lemmy! Woo! So far it's feeling pretty seamless.

Let's go!!!

Wow, this is incredible news. Boost was my main for years on Reddit!!!

All right now we just need the news that Apollo is coming for Lemmy!

Great news

Oh fuck yes. Boost for Reddit was my app of choice for ages. I'll happily use this when it comes out.

I loved Boost for reddit and can't wait for this. The customization for every little thing is awesome.

This is amazing, I loved boost

Great to see!

Very exciting! Thank you

Horray I don't have to abandon boost after all

Please yes!

Thanks for the heads up. I just pre-registered

I wish RiF comes back for Lemmy. LiF?

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Contains ads" no thank you

If the app contain adds how good can be?? 😝

If the app contain adds how good can be?? 😝

Love it, Boost was my favorite reddit app

i'll never understand why people used boost. it was so ugly
