Currently switching from Sync to try this out. I wish I was able to see downvotes like on the web app still. Other than that so far its ok

There is one dev, who just released 1.0 like 6 days ago. Put it in a feature request(think this particular one was mentioned on the day it was released) and patience Danielson.

That was a customization option in the original boost so I hope it'll be back for this one

Which country?

[–] kyle1320 14 points 1 year ago

US, specifically under "Social" apps.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In Play Store go to Apps>Categories>Social>Top Free Social Apps and you're number 10!

No Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok or Twitter installed, a man of culture I see. 🤝

I am so happy Boost is back! I am Loving Lemmy!

[–] moriquende 12 points 1 year ago

Good to see the app taking off! I just gave it a try and it's looking really nice already. I still find Sync to be more refined at this point, so I'll be sticking to it for now though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Still happy with Sync. But so happy for Boost too. Let's gooooooo fam!!!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I was an early adopter of Boost reddit. And the new Boost is pretty decent. Couple minor tweaks are needed.

Until then, I'm sticking with Connect. I'll keep checking for updates for Boost. I know Reuben is a solo dev and takes a while for updates.

Every fucking thread about Boost, there's always one advertising Connect.

We get it. You like Connect. Go post comments on Connect related posts.

Using sync, happy for boost! Bacon reader some day maybe? The more the merrier

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

You can track this globally using this service (social category selected and USA). IMHO it is doing awesome.
