Boost for Lemmy is now live

Some of y'all have no appreciation for independent app developers

I'll take my downvote now

Instantly bought the ads removal, Boost was THE reddit app for me. I'm stoked to see it for Lemmy.

Dear lord, finally. Something compact, simple, without needless wasted space.

Honest to god right angles.

I've found my permanent Lemmy app.

It's like coming back home <3

My first ad:

I'm shocked and impressed with how much this reminds me of 2022 Reddit. I went cold turkey after the API changes, but installing this and setting up my old theme has been astounding.

Will I give up my FOSS Jerboa for this? I very well might

Instantly paid for the ad free version even though I'm rocking an ad blocker. This is a pristine app, every bit as good as the original Reddit app.

Seeing a lot of complaints about the lack of swiping to upvote/downvote. Which is just hysterical to me because it's just a tap on boost for the vote controls, which is less movement.

Based dev put all controversial and conflicting instances together in the default list.

Yes! I've been waiting for this and it doesn't disappoint. SO good to have the Boost look and feel again 😀.

And the upgrade price is the best you'll find on any Lemmy app, it's great value. If you haven't paid for the app do it now.

I used Boost for Reddit for years, paid of course, and so paying for Boost for Lemmy is a no brainer.

For a 1.0 release it's great. Show Ruben the Dev that this is worth his time and pay to unlock today! 👍

Been loving this app since the preview.

Reddit became a different site for me when I used baconit and w10m. Once i went to android there were a number of apps to try but i settled on boost.

After api changes I couldn't bring myself to install their app and i did miss it. l used liftoff here for a bit but this has been so much more functional. Truly a great job by the dev and worth the wait. The paid version seems like a steal given you can't get a good chicken sandwich anywhere near that.

I'll probably gift a few copies to friends and family just so i don't feel guilty.

Lord i sound like a paid amazon review. I'm as cycnal as they come though and not easily won over for what it's worth.

I'm using Voyager, but giving Boost some attention. We will see which I like better... I didn't like Sync or Jerboa much.

The pricing is way more reasonable than sync. I'm still sticking with connect but at least this dev is not asking for much.

Yes it is, I'm commenting on it right now. You can import all your app settings from the Reddit version of the app too, if you still have it installed, or you still have your config file lying around. It's what I have done so I have a pitch black theme lol.

Hello from boost!

Congrats @rmayayo@lemmy.world!

Today I was finally able to download Boost for Lemmy. It looks really good. I inmediately bought the ad-free version. There are still some key features missing: the ability to hide posts, the ability to open community links and when I logged in for the very first time, the app semi-crashed and everything went dark. I had to restart the app and log in again. But apart from that, I really like it.

I'm loving it. Soooo good to be back.

I launched the rocket as soon as possible 🚀

However, two important functions on the Connect app work better. I've tried leaving comments for Boost dev.

Inbox does not clear when tapping ✔️✔️
Sidebar shows lists of instances and if there are any notifications for each instance

Hoping for some tweaks to Boost for those issues.

Otherwise the apps are extremely similar in function and customization. I'll continue to use Connect until those 2 features work.

Nice, but seems to lack swipe actions, otherwise I like it almost as much as Sync.

I miss the hide button near the bottom right of the screen. I love to remove all the read posts with a single button.

Boost has been my favorite for a while and I've been waiting for this to make the switch. This is my first time using Lemmy. Instant rocket boost from me!

I instantly downloaded it. It's just so good

Great news for Boost users! I'm still using Sync and Photon the most but love how many options there are for Lemmy.

Using it right now. Feels smooth.

This finally got me in for reals. 🤠

Used boost for reddit until that shut down, going to use boost for lemmy!

Nice! Installed and purchased the ad free version immediately.

You can't change the primary background color outside of theme presets? That means I can't make it dark and pink, which is a deal breaker when I have such a gorgeous Sync theme going. I'll keep it downloaded, though. There were things I liked about it for reddit. I may come back around.

I wish it had swipe to up vote and downvote but other than that I love the aesthetics.

No thanks, I used to use boost for reddit and I loved it.

But now on lemmy, there are FOSS apps that are just as good I'd rather donate to.

I'm brand new to Lemmy using boost now!

Thank shit lol. I'm a kbin guy so I'm still gonna wait a while for the kbin API to come out before I can use it with my main account, but at least its out and I can use it with a compatible one in the meantime! I left Sync for Boost (with Reddit lol) and I'm glad this is here now.

Hell yes! Been waiting for this

I love Boost, I bought it for Reddit. However, I got used to Connect now. The swipe to upvote and hide are intuitive to me now.

Permanently Deleted

I was waiting for this app to release before I even signed up to be honest!

Restore purchase feature needs to be added, couldn't "rebuy" it on a second device.

Has anyone figured out how to change the default feed? I'm not subscribed to any communities, so I always open to a blank page before switching to all.

the old app that still retains its old feature from Reddit that have been reborn and it is first Lemmy client that support widget. wow!!

We ballin

I was a Boost for Reddir user, now I'm using wefwef. Works for me, not sure if I have a reason to go back to Boost.

And thus begins my journey into lemmy

First post from Boost for Lemmy! 👍

Best app. I want it on iPhone.

Alive as their abusive data collection. Boost For Lemmy-3813762 (1)

I'm really happy with the interface to be honest, I was using Voyager up until now but Boost is my new go to!

Like it so far, will save up rewards to get it ad-free

Blessing from the lords

Just got it! Really happy that the developer made it. For some reason boost on reddit still works though.

It was nice to switch over to my preferred view that I have been using for years now.

I got used to liftoff where I could have up vote and down vote arrows on the right, so it's disappointing that I can't seem to find that option here on boost. don't feel like reaching for those vote buttons, otherwise I haven't noticed any remarkable differences from liftoff
