A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I have used Boost on Android for years.

The new update is gorgeous. Shame.

It's unfortunate timing. I'm going to give it an overdue glowing review. And hint that a lemmy conversion would be well received.

I had restarted using apps because the mobile webpage had become toxic with pushing me to the official app that I knew from reputation was toxic for UI. It kept forgetting where I was and reloading the whole page, uncompacting the threads I'd finished reading.

Reddit quite deliberately drove me off the mobile web interface, I just didn't go where they wanted, just to boost and bacon reader. I'll see if they still work tomorrow, but I'm enjoying using lemmy more, because it seems to be where all the sane people who like good conversation went.

Same here, Boost has been my ride or die app for ages now. :(
