Was wondering if anybody had any news about Boost's arrival to the Lemmy scene, or if anybody knew of any way to get news about Boost.

I think it's still early for that. In the meantime, I suggest two apps that kind of resemble to our beloved Boost: Jerboa, and Connect. Check them out.

I've found Thunder to be quite good, it's on the Playstore

Tried it now, looks like very good so far!

I'm still cycling between apps almost daily, and none so far ticks all the boxes for me. I have Liftoff, Connect, Jerboa and Voyager on my phone right now. I tried Thunder a while back but didn't like it.

Sync is on it's way and it will come down to either that or Boost in the end for me, I think.

Yeah, totally.

Boost and sync is kind of twins though, I've used both and exchange them often whenever an update breaks things.

On that note, since I tried those two: Do you know any app that has an optimized tablet-mode?

[โ€“] machinaeZER0@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Thunder has a two-column feed setting, not sure about any other tablet optimizations yet! There should be a new full release this week or next, but the latest build on GitHub is quite solid and has a lot of improvements from the build currently on Google Play
