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!
This is amazing! I can't wait for this to get released + Sync!
Test
You beauty!
You beauty!
Pretty cool. I think this would be a nice place to migrate to.
I was a RIF user and would like to see something similar over here. RIF feed is over. Rip.

This is so exciting! Boost was my app of choice for the old place. I'm glad to see this here.
Yesssssssssssssss! Thank you for this!
Yay!!!
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.

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

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.
The promise of Boost for Lemmy is what got me to sign up.
This is the most exiting fedinews I've ever read.
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
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 !
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.
As of the last update. It has surpassed Jerboa for me. So my ranking for best app at present is connect, jerboa and liftoff.
Jerboa is butter smooth if you are using an instance that is updated to 18. But unusable if you are in an instance that is still in version 17 (beehaw)

It will be good feature wise, but privacy? 
Thanks for turning attention to those. I got curious and looked at the ones for Boost for reddit and they seem about the same. A bit funny to see that the settings for the app only show Notifications as a granted permission (and no other possible ones). Can anyone familiar with Android app development chime in with some details?
That's probably due to the ad provider for the free version.
You should be able to disable any tracker so...

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
