I’m out of the loop I guess, why is everyone insisting this app will be supreme before it has even been released?
Honestly IMO it’s a bit cringe for me that so many people are like, “fuck these Lemmy apps this [insert unreleased app] is amazing!”.
Like calm down, lol. Let’s see how it’ll be first, a lot of the Lemmy apps are great right now.
Signed, a Reddit Boost user.
Another Boost faithful here, really enjoying Liftoff. No rush needed.
I’ve tried all the available Lemmy apps for Android and none of them are at good at Boost was. Anyway, the more the merrier
I can say the same for Infinity. That’s what I’m really going to miss.
Hopefully Boost is as good as it was, now with community small avatars.
Liftoff is at a stage i don’t need Sync to hurry anymore.
The apps were just lightyears behind anything we used for Reddit, it is getting there and i’m happy.
To me Liftoff looks a lot more cluttered than Jerboa.
Loved Boost for Reddit.
I’m loving Connect, it’s everything I need.
I started with Jerboa TBH (who hasn’t?), but Connect is much more refined IMO and I love the gestures.
While I have no allegiance to any particular app I am somewhat hyped for any and all established former Reddit apps to make the transition. Each release should hopefully bring a small bump of users with it. Also, the diversity of how a user can interact with fediverse is satisfying. Initially I was hoping for something along the lines of lemmyisfun or kbinisfun. Presently I’m enjoying connect for lemmy and anticipating whatever comes next.
The thing is that Boost was a really good 3rd party reddit app. It was very stable and had a lot of attention to detail and quality of life things you don’t notice until it’s gone.
If Boost really is going to come to Lemmy and be in the same or similar level of quality as it was on reddit, it’s going to be awesome.
Because it was great on Reddit. Personally, I used it from time to time and while it was pretty good, Infinity will always be my favourite. I wish we could get an Infinity for Lemmy but there is a team working on Infinity for Everything and it shows a lot of promise. I hope it becomes great.
As for Boost, I hope it’s as good on Lemmy as it was on Reddit.
It will be a Lemmy app made by a developer who previously worked on a popular Reddit app. If it beats sync out of the gate, it will be the first one to do so.
All the other apps have been from new or unknown sources. Boost is a known entity.
Longtime RiF user up in here. I’m definitely gonna give it a shot as yeah the HYPE is mucho, but for now Liftoff scratches the itch. I feel like we’re in this beautiful age of venturing out into the stars of the Fediverse and seeing what’s out there. So yeah, endless newness and can’t wait to see Boost and whatever is next
I keep hoping for LiF. Last I saw he might work on a Tildes app but I didn’t see any plans for Lemmy.
Dev is making one for tildes
I’ve not found anything that comes close to working as well as RIF yet
I’m actually quite happy with the kbin mobile interface myself, coming from RIF. Very similar.
Boost had nice features but was proprietary.
If I paid for boost Reddit does it carry over.
Tangentially related: has anyone got app recommendations for a Relay for Reddit refugee? I have been using Connect and Liftoff and enjoying them both, but open to other suggestions. Will probably check out Boost when it releases, but since I haven’t used Boost for Reddit I don’t know what to expect.
I so want a Relay for Lemmy app. Jerboa is pretty good, but I’m just so used to the swiping from Relay.
Will it have ads? I’m using connect and I’m just feeling like there’s not enough ads. Had RIF and it had just the right amount of Ads. The masses won’t take Lemmy seriously until we get more ads around here.
/s in case your panties just started to twist.
My panties were starting to twist
Anyone hearing anything about any of the iOS Reddit apps making a comeback on Lemmy? We’ve got several from the android side but I can’t recall hearing anything about iOS. You’d think Apollo would make a comeback here… still hoping this is the case!
there is wefwef, which is completely unaffiliated with apollo but is trying (and doing a very impressive job) to 1:1 mimic the apollo UI. try it out!
It’s not that it hasn’t been released, it already exists. Boost was one of the 3rd party apps for Reddit considered to be one of the top 3 (second only to Apollo and RiF) in terms of performance and UX. Since Reddit booted them off their service, the developer announced he was simply going to rewrite the backend to support Lemmy with the same quality UX and performance that is already known.

I can already hear the Sync fanboys pouring in from their discord to disagree.
Listen, I liked Sync’s ui and I wanna go back to something familiar when sync for lemmy comes out okay lol
because Boost for Reddit was fantastic, but Jerboa is also great so I’m pretty sure I’ll flip flop between the two from time to time
Jerboa reminds me of RiF with a few differences which is why I personally like it, I never used Boost, is it similar?
it’s similar in its own ways. And I like the feels of both in different aspects.
