This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

Seriously, same here. Can't wait for this to release.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Same! Let's goooooo!

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.

The developer has just announced that Relay will continue to function and will switch to a subscription model, so there probably won't be a Relay for Lemmy, unfortunately :(

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.

Register for the download if you will use it, this will show support to Mayayo!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

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!

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

It's the reason I finally decided to create a Lemmy account. Been a Boost user for many years.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Kudos to developer!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never knew pre-registration for apps was a thing. Signed up for this one, looking forward to giving it a go

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

Hell yeah! It's my favorite reddit app by far.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

OMG, cannot wait for this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I'm sure I read that as well. Hopefully he's had a think and decided that a Lemmy app would be really worthwhile. Excited to see what he creates, as I've used Boost for years and thought it was awesome.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just pre-registered. Boost for Lemmy would be awesome

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