Damn. Already deleted Boost for Reddit. Guess I gotta start from scratch?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Heh, not just me then.
Definitely had a "well, not gonna need this anymore" moment and purged it, months ago.
Hardly the end of the world.

Funny because i just never stopped using the app. Boost for reddit just still continued working just fine for me! Untill.. today when it magically became boost for lemmy lol

The not needing the app part was more about having told Reddit where to shove it.
No doubt that the app would still have functioned, but I had no more need for it.

I'm a little worried about this breaking settings, is there something in particular that people are copying over?

So far I haven't seen anything break. And most importantly I got my feed looking exactly like I wanted minus the colors.

I was thinking when I first installed it, 'huh, something isn't quite Boost with this". I had to turn off Material design to get the old bluish theme back. Not sure if this is what you mean but maybe it can help!

Thanks for commenting, this is exactly what I had to do to bring my original colors back!

You're welcome! Isn't it good to be backโ€ฝ

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely. I feel at home already.

It's preferences for looks and behaviour. You could always back up current state, import the ones from BfR and if you don't like it, restore the backup.

Awesome! Just did it. And then saw the give Boost some love by buying rocket fuel and decided to throw in another couple of bucks :) Love the app. I am using Lemmy for the first time today because of it
