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 really like Lemmy so far even though it isn’t 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.

I'm so excited for this
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 !
This is great. Lemmy needs more 3P apps, as most people don't like using websites directly.
Are there any good iOS apps coming?
Contains ads • In-app purchases
Yeah.. fuck that lol. Why would you ruin pefectly good FOSS by knowingly slapping proprietary adware crap on top of it.
Boost for Reddit was a one off payment to remove all ads and from memory was only a small amount
I'll be more than happy to pay a small fee for the developers work

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

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:

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!
That's great, was using boost for a long time for reddit, hopefully it'll help me navigate lemmy a little easier.
This is awesome news indeed!
awesome! boost was my favorite reddit app, im glad the developer sees a future in the fediverse!
Well I'm buying it once it releases.
Let's go.
Hopefully it supports Kbin as well
