we're up for a treat folks!!
Awesome pawsome
lol the downvoted post in one of the screenshots, the dev singled out @zac for absolutely no reason and I love it
No waaaaay! The dev said it's not happening, I'm so glad to see he's actually doing it!
I am really excited for this one . Always loved boost .
Nice! Really hoping BaconReader follows suit soon as well 👍🏻
Thank you Ruben!
It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.
It's a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.
This is so exciting! Boost was my app of choice for the old place. I'm glad to see this here.
It‘ll be great to see that icon on my screen again! This is amazing!
I know there's a megathread for all lemmy clients, old and new. I just can't find it. Maybe you guys know? Or Is there a community? I just want an actual list of all lemmy apps.

This is good news. Boost was my favorite until I switched to infinity.
Same. I imagine there hasn't been anything official from Reddit as they are trying to cut off 3rd party apps on phases to avoid a massive drop in traffic.
Think of it as smoothing the transition to increase their odds that people will cave to "peer pressure" and just download the official app.
I really like Lemmy so far even though it isn’t perfect yet. Adding a 3rd party app will make using this even easier.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy currently and it seems to be working okay. Just takes some getting used to, of course.
As of the last update. It has surpassed Jerboa for me. So my ranking for best app at present is connect, jerboa and liftoff.
Jerboa is butter smooth if you are using an instance that is updated to 18. But unusable if you are in an instance that is still in version 17 (beehaw)

"Contains ads" no thank you
It's probably a low one time purchase. Remember it's a top tier third-party app!

Wow.. I just uninstalled Boost after midnight. Looks like it will be back soon :)
I love how a day ago he said he wasn't going to make an app and then changed his mind that quick. So damn excited!
It looks amazing on the preview images.
I'm so excited for this
Great news! Waiting for Boost and Sync
I am incredibly happy to see this. Boost has been my absolutely favorite choice for a very long time
Test
Can't wait. Boost is my most used app on Android and this will be great.
