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.

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

kosanovskiy@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 3y

Probably 3-6 weeks. At next for a basic version and then build up based on community feedback

overload@sopuli.xyz · 14 pts · 3y

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.

snakesandcoffee@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 3y

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

Ularsing@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Hey, so happy to see you over here. I'd the thrilled to have Boost back.

nothingcorporate@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

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?

valen@kbin.social · 10 pts · 3y

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.

PoisonedMonkey@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

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

Lee@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 3y (2 replies)

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.

nostradiel@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y

Exactly.. Last thing I'd do is using Reddit official app.

kartoos@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

NightOwl@lemmy.one · 8 pts · 3y

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

zerocool@lemmynsfw.com · 8 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Registered on Lemmy today because Boost for Reddit died and I don't really want to use Reddit because of the CEO. Now seeing that you are making Boost for Lemmy, I'm really happy! Do you have a release date ready? I'm just so excited :D

Esjee@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Boost for reddit is still working for me though

Prior_Industry@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Ends today I belive

aeluon@programming.dev · 2 pts · 3y

still working this AM...

Raverbunny@aussie.zone · 8 pts · 3y

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.

machinaeZER0@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y

Holy shit!!!! I thought Ruben was switching over to making smaller projects... This is amazing!

momtheregoesthatman@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y

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

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

confluence@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Same!

ShadowCat@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y

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

MowCow@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 3y

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

wildchandelure@midwest.social · 6 pts · 3y

Im so happy you're working on an app. The customization with your app always made reddit so much more enjoyable.

Can't wait to see how your Lemmy app comes out!

s0phia@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y

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

Lupus108@feddit.de · 6 pts · 3y

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!

confluence@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

I will gladly pay.

salimundo@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 3y

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.

LawfulPirate@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 3y

I'm so glad this is happening!

XLRV@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 3y

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!

CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

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

cruspies@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

Brilliant. Boost was my favourite app for the other place, it'll be great to have it back for the fediverse.

buedi@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

I'm glad to read that! Boost was the Android App that did not melt my ancient tablet and drain its battery within 45 minutes. I am happy to see that it will come with Lemmy support... and 2nd that wish for Kbin support :-)

eating3645@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Preregistered!

Many thanks for your hard work, I'm very excited that I don't need to say goodbye to boost. 🥳

I can hardly wait! Any rough timeline? Are we looking at days, weeks, or months?

m1k@lemmy.m1k.cloud · 4 pts · 3y

Nice!

Kernal64@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 3y

This makes me so happy! I'm so glad you decided to make a Lemmy app and I'm very much looking forward to using it. Thank you so much for your hard work with Boost, both for Reddit and now for Lemmy!

JungleGeorge@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

was so happy to see this! Hope kbin support follows soon

ThesePaycheckAvenging@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Definitely. I've registered with both, kbin and Lemmy, and unfortunately most seem to migrate towards the latter. Kbin is cleaner and less buggy.

Inamin@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

another +1 for kbin. I dislike lemmy from a desktop persepective.

speck@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

+1 for kbin. I hope boost supports it too

scotchedpommes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Only just landed here from the other Boost, so glad to be with this one from the start.

Pyrrhichios@vlemmy.net · 4 pts · 3y

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

tristan@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 3y

So glad to hear this is coming, been using boost for reddit for years

Well you be doing the same one off fee structure for this one?

thesanewriter@vlemmy.net · 4 pts · 3y

I'm thrilled to see this app coming out! Your app was by far my favorite, and I was sad thinking I wouldn't be able to use it again. Thanks for rereleasing it, I look forward to seeing it once it's ready!

perryOnCrack@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 4 pts · 3y

Yes!!! Just registered! I'm glad Boost is coming to Lemmy 😄

pathief@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

I loved Boost, would be happy to continue using it!!!

BestBouclettes@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Absolutely loved boost, thanks for the great work. Can't wait to use it on Lemmy

Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Oh heck yeah. Was really missing Boost. Can't wait to get back to it.

MrCheeze445@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

the best app!

bull@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 3y

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)

Spooner@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

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.

pizza_pineapple@vlemmy.net · 3 pts · 3y

Yes! Looking forward to it

MariaShima@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Very excited - easily the best reddit app out there after trying a ton.

PrincePew@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Sadly I had to uninstall Boost today...this is great news! Sign me up

Oh my, time to go launch some more rockets!

Rabbithole@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Absolutely fucking let's.

Been using boost over on Reddit for years, your app's awesome.

Can't wait to buy the fediverse one. You're going to be appreciated for this, a LOT of us have come over here thanks to spez's total goddamn madness.

Glad to see you here with us!

P.s. Any chance that it may also support kbin one day too? They should be sorting out their API soon since a lot of devs just migrated over and Ernest actually has help developing kbin now. Sure, I can just make as Lemmy account in the meantime, but it'd be a pretty cool eventual option to have

herzberd@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

At the moment it doesn't seem that kbin has api docs so I'd expect it be a stretch, but seconded. I'd love to have kbin support. The kbin web app is currently sitting where Boost used to in my phone taskbar. It'd be nice to put things back where they belong

leftylibra@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

I'm excited because the Lemmy web interface isn't super but Rúben's UI will sprinkle some magic on it - especially that last update he released a few weeks ago, which will now be lost to Reddit Inc forever.

I used Boost daily for the past ~10 years and would love to use it in the years to come.

Also, I would love to hear about the progress of porting Boost to Lemmy and the technical aspects of it.
