Most excellent, cannot wait!!
You beauty!
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!
NO WAY!!! This is amazing news!!
Contains ads • In-app purchases
Boost for Reddit was a one off payment to remove all ads and from memory was only a small amount
I'll be more than happy to pay a small fee for the developers work

This is great. Lemmy needs more 3P apps, as most people don't like using websites directly.
I'm so excited for this
I just moved here from Reddit and I'm missing Boost already. Really looking forward to this!
Great news
Boost is my favourite, so looking forward to getting this!
Boost and Sync were my top two over the years. Happy to see Boost is making this switch too!
Awesome! I can't wait!
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:

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:

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!
Where Apollo for Lemmy :(
awesome! boost was my favorite reddit app, im glad the developer sees a future in the fediverse!
This is awesome!
Seeing all these new Lemmy apps popping up.. such a nice view
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boost is my #1 app for Reddit. Such a beautiful and loved all the features in it.
Oh mah lord
It looks amazing on the preview images.
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.
