I’m out of the loop I guess, why is everyone insisting this app will be supreme before it has even been released?
Honestly IMO it’s a bit cringe for me that so many people are like, “fuck these Lemmy apps this [insert unreleased app] is amazing!”.
Like calm down, lol. Let’s see how it’ll be first, a lot of the Lemmy apps are great right now.
Signed, a Reddit Boost user.
While I have no allegiance to any particular app I am somewhat hyped for any and all established former Reddit apps to make the transition. Each release should hopefully bring a small bump of users with it. Also, the diversity of how a user can interact with fediverse is satisfying. Initially I was hoping for something along the lines of lemmyisfun or kbinisfun. Presently I’m enjoying connect for lemmy and anticipating whatever comes next.
I’ve tried all the available Lemmy apps for Android and none of them are at good at Boost was. Anyway, the more the merrier
I can say the same for Infinity. That’s what I’m really going to miss.
Hopefully Boost is as good as it was, now with community small avatars.
Another Boost faithful here, really enjoying Liftoff. No rush needed.
It’s not that it hasn’t been released, it already exists. Boost was one of the 3rd party apps for Reddit considered to be one of the top 3 (second only to Apollo and RiF) in terms of performance and UX. Since Reddit booted them off their service, the developer announced he was simply going to rewrite the backend to support Lemmy with the same quality UX and performance that is already known.

I can already hear the Sync fanboys pouring in from their discord to disagree.
Relay fanboy checking in, this guy is full of shit
Listen, I liked Sync’s ui and I wanna go back to something familiar when sync for lemmy comes out okay lol
PSA for all former apollo users: voyager for lemmy (wefwef.app) is what you’re looking for. Go to the site, press the share button, and press add to Home Screen. I always held out hope that apollo would be reincarnated for lemmy, but I never expected it to happen this fast and to work this well
It will be a Lemmy app made by a developer who previously worked on a popular Reddit app. If it beats sync out of the gate, it will be the first one to do so.
All the other apps have been from new or unknown sources. Boost is a known entity.
because Boost for Reddit was fantastic, but Jerboa is also great so I’m pretty sure I’ll flip flop between the two from time to time
Jerboa reminds me of RiF with a few differences which is why I personally like it, I never used Boost, is it similar?
it’s similar in its own ways. And I like the feels of both in different aspects.
Longtime RiF user up in here. I’m definitely gonna give it a shot as yeah the HYPE is mucho, but for now Liftoff scratches the itch. I feel like we’re in this beautiful age of venturing out into the stars of the Fediverse and seeing what’s out there. So yeah, endless newness and can’t wait to see Boost and whatever is next
The thing is that Boost was a really good 3rd party reddit app. It was very stable and had a lot of attention to detail and quality of life things you don’t notice until it’s gone.
If Boost really is going to come to Lemmy and be in the same or similar level of quality as it was on reddit, it’s going to be awesome.
Will it have ads? I’m using connect and I’m just feeling like there’s not enough ads. Had RIF and it had just the right amount of Ads. The masses won’t take Lemmy seriously until we get more ads around here.
/s in case your panties just started to twist.
