LET’S GO!!

written from Boost for Lemmy

trag468,

I’ve been waiting for it to come out and it just got pushed to my phone today. This is my first comment on Lemmy! Woo! So far it’s feeling pretty seamless.

FFmax33,

We’ve arrived

Great news. I'm probably more likely to use Sync, but seeing not one but two well regarded Android Reddit apps migrate to Lemmy is just bloody awesome.

Three* Don't forget Slide.

RaoulDook,

Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid

kratoz29,

If one thing the Fediverse have thought me so far is that you can use them all at the same time ;)

lemmycolon,

Really missing Relay :(

I hope Relay for Lemmy becomes a thing. My fav for years.

Nihilistic_Mystics,

Thunder feels pretty close. Turn on compact mode + thumbnails on the right and it's visually almost identical to how I had Relay set up. It even has the short swipe to upvote, long swipe to downvote actions.

TwinTurbo,

The developer has just announced that Relay will continue to function and will switch to a subscription model, so there probably won't be a Relay for Lemmy, unfortunately :(

zephyreks,

Is Sync migrating too?

ButhJolokia,

Yes, it’s going to be called Sync for Lemmy and preregistration opened two days ago. It most likely will still be some weeks before it becomes available. Ljdawson stated the target is 6 weeks, so that would be somewhere in the middle of August.

Yes, Sync for Lemmy has been confirmed to be in development. It has its own community and a channel on the Sync discord.

andrr_464,

don’t forget about infinity too

Ah, yes, this is the one.

dditty,

Just registered for it. While “rifisfun golden platinum” was my favorite reddit app for my phone, Boost is definitely my favorite when using my Android tablet.

diskmaster23,

What is Boost?

Boost For Reddit is one of the third party apps being forced to shutdown.

The dev is rebuilding it as Boost For Lemmy, keeping the same familiar interface so many have gotten used to.

mrwedodae,

And loved. Simple clean UI.

oSillyScope,

All the filters too

sarcasticsunrise,

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

Weeby_Wabbit,

I literally just discovered Connect after trying in vain to get Jerboa to work ahah. I’m so used to Boost, I can’t wait for it to be inolimented here.

If the app contain adds how good can be?? 😝

greedytacothief,

Boost for reddit is open source, I assume the lemmy version will also be open source. Also I think it’s like $2 to get rid of ads forever.

IMHO open source developers should be paid for their work, if it must be ads then so be it.

bin_bash,
@bin_bash@lemmy.world avatar

Well if its opensource anyone can easly get ride of the adds. I agree with you that developers schould be paid but there is many ways to be paid we all fight for privacy and against adds on the internet using adblocks for example i personaly always pay for developers fairemail and typewise to rename few but i dont like to be forced to pay and in between my phone are establishing connections to the adds servers exposing ip addresse connection times and so on adds are not only adds there is a lot of metadata that can be extracted from adds. And finally the purpose of developing opensourse apps is to serve the community with more friendly apps than the big companies offers to us. But… its just me saying that…

WhoRoger,
@WhoRoger@lemmy.world avatar

That’s also not a FOSS app, is it

SchmallChild,

Not a FOSS app.

HidingCat,

Wait what, I thought he wasn't doing it, saying he was going to do smaller apps. I guess this is what he meant by "smaller apps"? xD

UnhappyCamper,
@UnhappyCamper@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, he straight up said he wasn't going to do a Lemmy app, I'm confused.

techgearwhips,

This is good news. Boost was my favorite until I switched to infinity.

Delusion6903,

Contains ads? Data shared with third parties? Not feeling it.

techgearwhips,

The paid version doesn’t have ads. But yes I switched to infinity because it was FOSS. I also liked the ux better.

JossyBop,

I tried infinity for a while, but everything on it was so huge, I hated it.

techgearwhips,

Then make it smaller in the settings

JossyBop,

I made it as small as I could, and it was too large still.

This is the most exiting fedinews I’ve ever read.

momtheregoesthatman,

I will launch that 🚀 as soon as the app is available. Pre-registration is done, let’s goooooooo.

WeRememberTheFreeman,

Let’s go.

Tom2day,

I was a RIF user and would like to see something similar over here. RIF feed is over. Rip.

soycapitan451,

On connect. Once I changed my settings it’s very comparable to the RIF setup I had.
