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

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

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!
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)
This won't be pirated mateys, my gold awaits the dev
I fucking knew it, in one of the last updates in the menu it went from "find subreddit" to "find community"
I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let's goooooooo.
LONG LIVE THE KING
I have used Boost for so many time before I Switch to Joey but maybe the time use this app again.
great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse
This is a game changer
Now time for apollo haha Although wefwef is already brilliant
No waaaaay! The dev said it's not happening, I'm so glad to see he's actually doing it!
This is most excellent news. 😀
Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.
This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.
Hell yeah!
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.
Fuck yeah. Let's go.
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

Yessss I had all but given up hope. There is a god.
Wohooo!!! Favourite app!
Android users desperately need a better app for browsing Lemmy than Jerboa. Boost and Sync may just be that app.

This was my fav reddit app. Used it for years. Very excited!
This is awesome news. Preferred Boost over Sync/Relay/Rif etc.
I'm so excited for this!
Most excellent, cannot wait!!
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.
