The Boost for Reddit app still worked for a while after the big shutdown with workarounds, like creating a mod account or using revanced.

Not anymore, as of today, the Boost for Reddit app is completely 100% dead now.

Goodbye reddit forever, hello lemmy

Y'know I tried using boost for lemmy since that's what I used for reddit, then I noticed how jam packed full of ads it is (just like reddit).

Jerboa has a lot of the same features and is completely ad free

After having used Boost for Reddit for so long I was happy to cough up a bit of money to get Boost for Lemmy to not have any ads. Jerboa was great for a free app, but for me the user experience felt free. I haven't used it since BfL came out so not sure if it's improved since then.

Hey I get that. I was like that myself originally. But after using jerboa I actually like it more. No hate towards anyone who uses boost or sync or whatever. I just like the feel of it.

And don't get me wrong, jerboa has its own issues. One of the biggest being a lack of thumbnail protocol for large images or not being able to unblock communities/users without going to the full website but for a free app without ads it's pretty nice.

Did the same, if I'm gonna make the switch then I might as well stick to what I'm used to anyhow
