This was my main app to interact with the reddit. I'm stoked!

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.fmhy.ml 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Omg that was the Reddit client I used

All my dreams are coming true. This was worth seeing Reddit crash and burn. Yes. I like this new age.

SAME I'M FUCKIN HYPED

[–] KnoxHarrington 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was a big fan of Boost. I will be checking this out!

[–] Dekthro 2 points 1 year ago

As was I. My girlfriend still uses it to this day. Not tomorrow though, lol.

[–] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh holy shit I am in. Even if you charge me $50 one time, I'm so in. Boost has been my bread and butter for YEARS, ive purchased on multiple devices and I will 1000% support the dev on this.

Edit: Just presubscribed or whatever. Also emailed our dear savior asking about donating in the meantime. I'll drop a link here if he gets back to me so we can all celebrate with our wallets.

Had no idea that was a thing but your comment made me go look and I did it as well! Just saw the "shut down" message on boost for reddit earlier this evening. Ready to close that door for fuckin good, but glad my favorite app will (hopefully) live on over here!

[–] erre@feddit.win 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

..aaaaaaaand I pre-registered. Thanks for the heads up!

[–] nlm 8 points 1 year ago

Same here, hope the development goes smoothly!

[–] Robotnik@lemmy.one 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It is possible to register on Google play to automatically download it when it's ready. It's exiting to see a reddit app moving to lemmy. I hope more apps will do the same.

[–] Reil 16 points 1 year ago

Nice! This is the client I had settled on for years, so it's good to see it live on, for this platform.

[–] chloyster 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yooooooooooooo yay!!!! Boost was what i used before sync got its recent updates. Love to see this!!!!

[–] nlm 4 points 1 year ago

I was still a loyal boost user till the bitter end so thid id awesome!

[–] cliffhanger407@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Glad to see this coming! Boost was great and I miss it already. I'm excited to see how this goes.

[–] Plain 9 points 1 year ago

This was my favorite reddit app by far. Holy smokes I'm so excited for it to come to Lemmy. ❤️

[–] Namstel@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

This is fantastic news! I've been using Boost for Reddit for many years, it was simply the best for me.

let's fucking GOOOOO

[–] jursed 7 points 1 year ago

bro I can't wait for boost to come to Lemmy! such a good app.

off topic but how the hell is boost still working for reddit

[–] pixelbud 7 points 1 year ago

Looks so good that my iPhone is jealous 😂

[–] TMoney 6 points 1 year ago

Sync is as well. I believe JDawson gave it about 6 weeks before he could release a prototype.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does anyone who used Boost before, know if you can pay to turn off ads with a one-time purchase?

[–] Lixen 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, you could. Hope the lemmy app will offer the same.

Yes you can

[–] bardm@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Ruben is my hero! Signed up.

[–] Glyphicus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Fantastic news. Boost has a great UI and made finding new subreddits super easy.

[–] TheGiantKorean 6 points 1 year ago

So awesome! Boost was my app of choice for Reddit.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Instantly preregistered as soon as I heard!

[–] WaitingCynicism@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago
[–] scrollbars@iusearchlinux.fyi 6 points 1 year ago

Good for them! Boost was my favorite Android client. Hopefully more devs follow.

[–] ImpeccableMithril 6 points 1 year ago

Amazing news! I love Boost so much and I have no doubts Boost for Lemmy will be fantastic to use. :)

[–] Liempong_pagong 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Where? I haven't seen any announcement from mayayo

[–] nlm 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Follow the link to three play store?

Haven't read anything about it but you can pre-register for it so you'll be notified when it's out.

[–] Liempong_pagong 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im using jeroba. Apparently the link is not displayed. I have to click the thumbnail of the post. That's the link. I only discovered it now.

[–] nlm 2 points 1 year ago

Good to know!

They've been working on it a long while it seems (makes sense though), I remember the post at the top of the first screenshot.

[–] TrevMD@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been using Boost for a long long time, so glad we're getting this and Sync! Competition / variation between apps is healthy, otherwise you get stuck with one shitty app which never improves

That's amazing! Until a few seconds ago, I was sure I'll just keep using lemmy from my browser.

[–] crisisingot 4 points 1 year ago

Omg yes this one was my favorite. I am HYPED

[–] Bumblefumble 3 points 1 year ago

This is the best news I've heard in a very long time, and I really do mean that seriously.

[–] ezri 3 points 1 year ago

LETS FUCKING GOOO

[–] snowbell 2 points 1 year ago
[–] Fluffybirb 2 points 1 year ago

Aw heck yea! I love boost! 🎉

[–] nlm 2 points 1 year ago

Something tells me I'm not the only Boost fan around here :)

[–] trashhalo 2 points 1 year ago
[–] averyminya 2 points 1 year ago

I commented in another thread but I'm just so glad to see that this will be available, Boost had by far the best customization options, but particularly for my preferences. Connect and Jeroba are both nice, but I miss my rocket!

[–] reric88 2 points 1 year ago

Boost was my last reddit app. I used Sync for a long time, but when the dev went MIA I had to choose something else. He's since returned but I've already become a boost user. I'm excited about this!

[–] HowlsSophie 2 points 1 year ago

Yes yes yes!!! rubs hands together

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@nlm I switched from Boost a long time ago, in favor of RedReader. But I'll surely give it a spin 😁
