Anyone have an ETA? I can't fucking wait

[–] UnhappyCamper@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Haven't seen any ETA personally, but did see the dev made a post using the app so we're probably getting close

It's going to be like Christmas morning as a kid when Boost for Lemmy drops!

[–] Lord_Logjam@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm watching both this and Sync with a lot of interest. I'm glad that the guys who made some of the best Reddit clients are going to get a chance with Lemmy. I hope it works out for them.

Checkout connect in the meantime.

[–] Lord_Logjam@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have Connect and Liftoff installed. I prefer the visuals of Liftoff I think. I just installed Thunder as well to check that out.

[–] machinaeZER0@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love love love Thunder. I am still excited for Boost, but Thunder is super slick and only getting better!

[–] Lord_Logjam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've been playing around with Thunder today and so far I'm really impressed.

I might be lost here, but can you guys confirm it’s Android only and not iOS ?

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's android only. If Boost has ever been released on iOS, it'd be more popular than Apollo 😁

[–] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Bold ! But as I’ve never used Boost, I can’t really say something

[–] iamroot@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Android only

[–] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Alright, thanks !

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess we are stuck using Voyager.

[–] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When did it become Voyager? It was WefWef when I first installed it, but at some point it was renamed.

[–] nLuLukna@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I believe it was community vote. I'm sure someone can link to the Lemmy community

[–] bonnetbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is boost4lemmy FOSS?

[–] hisbaan@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Boost for Reddit was not (as far as I know) so I doubt Boost for Lemmy will be either

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm already using it under the beta, and yeah... It's pretty amazing. It's better than the old app I used for Reddit.

[–] artemisRiverborne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would you say it has a similar feel to the boostforreddit app?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I never used boost for Reddit, I was using Now For Reddit for nearly the entire time I was active. As much as I loved that app, I think I like this one more. It does have some features that could be better, but the app isn't even launched yet, so I'd assume it's only a matter of time!

I guess I just see a lot of potential in the app. And right now, compared to the other Android offerings, this is BY FAR my favorite.
