Is this real??? He said he wasn't going to do this ๐ค
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!
Jerboa has been a really similar experience to Boost so far, compared to other Lemmy apps. However, Boost had some features I've been missing dearly, I'm so glad to hear this!
I'll definitely use it when it releases!
That's great, was using boost for a long time for reddit, hopefully it'll help me navigate lemmy a little easier.
This is awesome!
Boost was my favorite android client so happy to hear this! Now using a iPhone tho
Oh mah lord
awesome! boost was my favorite reddit app, im glad the developer sees a future in the fediverse!
We've arrived
I've been waiting for it to come out and it just got pushed to my phone today. This is my first comment on Lemmy! Woo! So far it's feeling pretty seamless.
"Contains ads" no thank you
If it's anything like Boost for Reddit was, it's unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you'll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can't recall.
My point is, ads were non-obstructive
There was definitely a bottom banner but it was quite unobtrusive

Well up for this. The polish of Boost on top of the federated structure of Lemmy could be perfect.
LET'S GO!!
written from Boost for Lemmy
Let's fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Let's go.
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
Yeah, he straight up said he wasn't going to do a Lemmy app, I'm confused.
Sync for Lemmy is also happening!
Excellent, liked it in reddit, should be good here, can't wait!!!
That's also not a FOSS app, is it
Not a FOSS app.
