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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I changed the liftoff icon to the boost icon just to get me through.

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

Awesome pawsome

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Contains ads? Data shared with third parties? Not feeling it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The paid version doesn't have ads. But yes I switched to infinity because it was FOSS. I also liked the ux better.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wohooo!!! Favourite app!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Great news! Waiting for Boost and Sync

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not as good as my old reddit app, but I'm liking Jerboa

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

Yesssssssssssssss! Thank you for this!

Great news! I loved boost for reddit.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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.
