This will definitely change the game for me. Jerboa has been a nice stop-gap, but as a paid Boost user previously, I'll be jumping back in with Lemmy too.

    I've tried jerboa, liftoff, andd connect. While they all work none of them do everything I want and they all have weird quirks.

    The more lemmy apps that comeabout the better.

    Thunder for Lemmy has been pretty decent so far.

    Liftoff has been great so far, but if this can have anywhere near the polish of its reddit counterpart, I'll have no issues switching. I really want that compressed mode. Looks like RiF almost

    Never for the life of me understood why Boost wasn't mentioned alongside the other popular apps. It's perfect. The only one I've used. All of my internal monologue feedback about Jerboa and Wefwef can be categorized under "Be Boost."

    I'm ever hopeful we might have a Lemmy Is Fun app one day,but there's been so much chatter about boost I'm excited to try it.

    I think in one of his closing posts the dev for RIF said he was developing a Tilde app

    Hmmmmm. I've not tried Tilde yet. I just went all in on lemmy during the rexodus. I'll have to check it out.

    It's tricky to try out since it's invitation-only. As far as I understand they want to focus more on long-form content and high-effort posting, so it's not really a Reddit alternative per se.

    As for Lemmy is Fun, it doesn't look particularly likely, though talklittle (the dev) at least made a Lemmy account , so your prospects are at least better than fans of Baconreader. Maybe the future chances are at least non-zero, provided Lemmy continues to grow.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up, though.

    Man. I just looked at the preview pictures of boost for Lemmy in the play store and it looks so freaking good.

    I absolutely cannot wait.

    I was looking forward to it but after i saw the data collection section i gave up.

    Oof. That's looks very bad indeed. Is it oficially released yet? I've seen it before on beta/test versions of apps to ease debugging. Public release versions are usually very different regarding data collection needed.

    We are more than ready to take off, pre-registered on the play store from the start!!

    If you need beta testers, let us know! Used Boost for Reddit for years, can't wait for Boost for Lemmy!

    Oh yeeesssssss. Boost was all I used.

    I honestly don't know which app I'm gonna end use it, I never feel this way with Reddit clients but between Thunder, Voyager, Sync and Boost for Lemmy I can't really chose, am I a psycho because I'm actually thinking in cycle them?

    I'm cycling through 5 right now: Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder, Connect, and Voyager.

    They all seem to be improving so quickly, that I end up being unable to decide. I was on mostly Jerboa, but now I'm mostly on voyager. I like being able to selfhost it.

    Looking forward to trying it! I'm going in with an open mind and definitely not expecting the experience to be as flawless as the original since even Lemmy itself is still in development.

    I guess this would be as good a place as any to ask this...

    The only app I used for Reddit was BaconReader, and I loved it so I paid for premium. Does anyone know if the developers are making a Lemmy alt? Or which app will give me the closest BR feel?

    I don't recall seeing anything about a Lemmy version in their subreddit leading up to the exodus unfortunately. As a former user myself, I did move to Boost eventually but for now I use Liftoff or Connect to get close to that feel. Definitely give Boost a shot once it's out too. You can pre-signup on the app store.

    Can't wait to see boost for Lemmy in action. Infinity was my favorite but boost was second.
