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 will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.
Yes! Boost was my favorite.
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK WHAT!?
Last time I checked dev wasn't too convinced of it!!!!!
Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn't interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.
Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.
I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let's goooooooo.
This is most excellent news. 😀
I have used Boost for so many time before I Switch to Joey but maybe the time use this app again.
Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice
This is a game changer
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!
Now time for apollo haha Although wefwef is already brilliant
great news not just for lemmy but all of the fediverse
I fucking knew it, in one of the last updates in the menu it went from "find subreddit" to "find community"
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 was my fav reddit app. Used it for years. Very excited!
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

I was so happy when I found this out. I hope Lemmy gets the support.
Most excellent, cannot wait!!
Hell yeah!
I'm so excited for this!
This is awesome news. Preferred Boost over Sync/Relay/Rif etc.
LONG LIVE THE KING
No waaaaay! The dev said it's not happening, I'm so glad to see he's actually doing it!
Awesome pawsome
This is so exciting! Boost was my app of choice for the old place. I'm glad to see this here.
