What is the hype about Boost? (self.asklemmy)

I'm out of the loop I guess, why is everyone insisting this app will be supreme before it has even been released?

Boost was my favourite Reddit app, couldn't tell you why off the top of my head because I've been using it for so long now

Think a lot of people are excited because it's the same app they're used to which was pretty damn good as far as Reddit apps went

Also I think for a lot of people it's closure to the whole leaving Reddit thing, at the moment I think the experience is more or less equivalent to what Reddit was but the interface can still be unfamiliar and janky sometimes. Makes Lemmy a drop in replacement for old Reddit users
