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.

https://play.google.com/...

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/...

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

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

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 :)

It will be good feature wise, but privacy?

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

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

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

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!!!

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

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!

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

FOSS?

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

I am here because of boost

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

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!

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

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

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!

Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice

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

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

Great news! Love seeing the Lemmyverse continue to expand!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

It looks amazing on the preview images.

Kudos to developer!

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

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!

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!

Yes! Boost was my favorite.

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

NO WAY!!! This is amazing news!!

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.

OMG, cannot wait for this.

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!

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

https://libranet.de/...

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.

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

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

Are there any good iOS apps coming?

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

Preregistered.

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

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

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?

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!

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

Hell yeah, Boost rules

Just pre-registered. Boost for Lemmy would be awesome

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/...

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:

https://www.reddit.com/...

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!

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.

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

YEAAAAHHH BOOOST, WE LOVE BOOST

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)

FUCK YEAH

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

May reddit turn into digg.

Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.

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.

What is Boost?

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 👍🏻

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

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

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

This is most excellent news. 😀

This is a game changer

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

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

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

Now time for apollo haha Although wefwef is already brilliant

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

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!

Noice

great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse

How does this compare to liftoff?

Been enjoying that quite a bit

Insane how everyone is fast about Lemmy.

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

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

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

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

I'm so excited for this!

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

Hopefully it supports Kbin as well

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

Oh mah lord

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

Psyched about this!

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

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

Great to see! I really liked Boost

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

Great news

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.

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

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

Awesome! I can't wait!

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

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

I'm so excited for this

This is great news, used boost for years.

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

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

This is awesome!

Yessss.

That's all I have to say.

Where Apollo for Lemmy :(

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

Fuck yeah. Let's go.

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

Most excellent, cannot wait!!

Awesome pawsome

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

Best news of the day!

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

Hell yeah!

LET'S FUCKING GO.

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

we're up for a treat folks!!

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.

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!

Really look forward to this!

Gimme

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

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

I am very very happy to see this!

Yay, Boost!

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/...

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

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

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

This is awesome news indeed!

YESSSSS I honestly didn't think boost would

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

Pre registered for it, thank you!

Great news! Waiting for Boost and Sync

Nice

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

Nice, can't wait for it.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Oooh!! 🔥🔥💯👑

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

LETS FUCKING GOO!!!! I loved boost

This is really good news!

This makes me irrationally happy.

This is amazing news. Can't wait!

Use open source clients.

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

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.

hell yeah! great news

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 !

That's also not a FOSS app, is it

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

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

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.

Contains ads • In-app purchases

Yes!!! I used Boost and loved it

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

Infinity for lemmy anyone ?

Boost is back 😂

Yes!!

Yay

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.

Test

You beauty!

You beauty!

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

Yesssssssssssssss! Thank you for this!

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

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

hellzz yaa

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.

Yay!!!

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

We've arrived

Let's go!!!

I hope Infinity will migrate as well

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

Thanks for the heads up. I just pre-registered

This is awesome!

Let's fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Holy shit yes, nice!

Now we're talking

Is this an Android app?

Please yes!

Very exciting! Thank you

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

Aw yiss this is great news.

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

You beauty!

neat!

Most excellent, cannot wait!!

Always good to see apps coming over

Great to see!

Great news

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

I wish RiF comes back for Lemmy. LiF?

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

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

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

This is amazing, I loved boost

Let's go.

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!!

written from Boost for Lemmy

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

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

Lets goooo!

Horray I don't have to abandon boost after all

"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
