History in the making before our eyes! ๐
Can't wait - I need to replace the empty space on my home screen which was previously the home of boost for reddit
Same. Every now and then I still reflexively tap my screen to open it.
Wow! That's awesome! Boost was the app I used to use and I can't wait for Boost for Lemmy to come out! I'll keep waiting :D
Good luck!
More iconic than the moon landing, tbh
I was here

As a refugee who migrated because they took away Boost, I'm very excited for this!

VAMOOOSSS!!!
HOLY SHIT YES! Say your price, I'll buy it. Boost was THE app for reddit, it'll be THE app on Lemmy for me!
my favorite reddit app reincarnated ๐
This announcement was the final push for me to create an account on Lemmy. Honestly I don't know if I would've continued using any Reddit-like platform if it weren't for Boost.
Hyped to see it. Any rough timescales yet? Days/weeks/months?
Probably 3-6 weeks. At next for a basic version and then build up based on community feedback
So excited, can't wait Ruben. Do you have an idea of a timeline as yet? No pressure, but just wanted to have an idea of what you were expecting yourself.
Is a Patreon or something similar in the works for people who want to support this transition?
Hey, so happy to see you over here. I'd the thrilled to have Boost back.
Why does it share stuff? Under Data Safety on Google Play:
- This app may share these data types with third parties: Location, Financial info, App activity, App info and performance, Device or other IDs.
Very excited. Only registered for this now I know Boost is on the way!
So excited! I've been a redditor for 14 years, I've tried at least a dozen apps, and Boost was hands down my favorite. Solid apps coming to Lemmy from Reddit is exactly what people need to encourage them to migrate.
@[email protected] for all the people who don't pay much attention but have Boost on their phone, have you considered updating the app with a big ol' "come to Lemmy" notice?
Let's go rmayayo!
I am registered and a long time Reddit boost user, I will pay again for boost for lemmy, Reddit is dead to me fuck u/spez, the greedy little worm.
Exactly.. Last thing I'd do is using Reddit official app.

Hyyyyypppeeee! Looking forward to having something more functional for this side of the coin!
I was unsure where to look for a Reddit alternative, but seeing this app being ported to Lemmy made my decision a lot easier. Looking forward to a smooth transition with Boost.
Registered on Lemmy today because Boost for Reddit died and I don't really want to use Reddit because of the CEO. Now seeing that you are making Boost for Lemmy, I'm really happy! Do you have a release date ready? I'm just so excited :D

Holy shit!!!! I thought Ruben was switching over to making smaller projects... This is amazing!
Registered ! Can't wait to launch rocket and see what lemmy has to offer through best interface
Yes resurrection! Welcome back for the next chapter!!!
I cannot wait. @Rubรฉn making Boost for Lemmy is what moved me here. ๐๐'s immediately when it's available ๐๐ผ.
Will be launching the rocket as soon as this becomes available, none of the current Android apps have gotten close to how good Boost was for Reddit. Can't wait to use it again
Looking forward to it!
Looking forward to going back to boost!
Shiiit it'll be like my ass never left if it comes soon lol
Im so happy you're working on an app. The customization with your app always made reddit so much more enjoyable.
Can't wait to see how your Lemmy app comes out!
Vamos! ๐๐๐
Thank you, this means a lot! Boost was my favorite app and I'm glad we'll have Boost for Lemmy too.
hopefully this will make the porn better
Yeah! Sky is the limit.
Rubรฉn! thanks for years of development. Where can I drop you some Bitcoin? B)
The first time I've "pre-ordered" an app on the play store. Loved boost for reddit, during the blackout I started the rocket one last time and deleted it. Super excited to get it back, thanks for all the work!
Have used Reddit exclusively on Boost since 2018. This is amazing news!
Holy +$@#$%-!! I was floating in the Pacific Ocean for weeks ๐ฅถ after the ship sank. A kind Samaritan pulled me aboard and I'm now safe and sound ๐ค๐ฏ in the BoostforLemmy community.
Also am very much looking forward to the impending app release!
I will gladly pay.
Thanks, you're a legend ๐
I can't wait for this app to release! I've been using Boost for reddit for as long as I can remember and while the current crop of Lemmy apps are okay, they just don't compare to Boost IMO.
Any idea on a timeline?
