NO WAY!!! This is amazing news!!
I was already on kbin thanks to the recent reddit fuckery.
Literally made an account here on lemmy.world after Boost's announcement just now.
Having my favorite Reddit app come over here with me is such good news.
This makes me so happy! I've been maining boost for almost six years now and was so bummed when the dev announced he wasn't going to be working on a Lemmy app. Looks like he changed his mind!
I do get the “distributed” nature of networks and the underlying philosophy, but only if there’s a common interface where lemmy/mastodon or other similar network created accounts can be used seamlessly in addition to the current behavior.

OMG, cannot wait for this.
Yes! Boost was my favorite.
Boost is my favourite, so looking forward to getting this!
YEAAAAHHH BOOOST, WE LOVE BOOST
Preregistered.
I like using boost for reddit, very fast and responsive than the reddit app. I will definitely sign up for this
Awesome, used to use the reddit version and really liked it, switched from the official app and never looked back. Excited to try it out when it releases (also this is my first comment on lemmy, been lurking for a week or so but I think it's time I start interacting)
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

Jerboa has been a really similar experience to Boost so far, compared to other Lemmy apps. However, Boost had some features I've been missing dearly, I'm so glad to hear this!
I'll definitely use it when it releases!
Seeing all these new Lemmy apps popping up.. such a nice view
This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.
Why does it have to be so hard to find communities? Trying to add this, but it doesn't show up: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy
Should I just leave lemm.ee since it has trouble finding every single community?

Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.
Oh HELL yea. I've been using Boost ever since I moved from Sync like 6 years ago. This is fantastic news.
Is this real??? He said he wasn't going to do this 🤔
He said he would not be doing Boost for Lemmy, and that he would focus on smaller apps:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/comment/jow1le5
And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/comment/jouvuok
I wonder if he put this on the store as a placeholder to also prevent impersonation?
EDIT: Damn, just saw the screenshots. Either this is a very elaborate placeholder, or it's really happening!

yeah?? fuck year! I thought. I thought he wasnt gonna do a port, last I checked the boost subreddit it was said it wasnt happening so this is awesome.
i will gladly pay for boost premium again.
Hell yeah, Boost rules
That's great, was using boost for a long time for reddit, hopefully it'll help me navigate lemmy a little easier.
On iOS now, but this was my goto when on Android. Happy it’s making the switch !
I know there's a megathread for all lemmy clients, old and new. I just can't find it. Maybe you guys know? Or Is there a community? I just want an actual list of all lemmy apps.
