This is the first comment on Boost for Lemmy

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

History in the making before our eyes! ๐Ÿ‘€

[โ€“] Mori 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't wait - I need to replace the empty space on my home screen which was previously the home of boost for reddit

[โ€“] tuxtey 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same. Every now and then I still reflexively tap my screen to open it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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

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

VAMOOOSSS!!!

[โ€“] tigerjerusalem 22 points 1 year ago

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!

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

my favorite reddit app reincarnated ๐Ÿ™

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] o_oli 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hyped to see it. Any rough timescales yet? Days/weeks/months?

[โ€“] kosanovskiy 9 points 1 year ago

Probably 3-6 weeks. At next for a basic version and then build up based on community feedback

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] snakesandcoffee 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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.
[โ€“] PoisonedMonkey 10 points 1 year ago

Very excited. Only registered for this now I know Boost is on the way!

[โ€“] nothingcorporate 10 points 1 year ago

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?

[โ€“] RaulitoElLobito 9 points 1 year ago

Let's go rmayayo!

[โ€“] Lee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[โ€“] nostradiel 6 points 1 year ago

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!

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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!

[โ€“] Rimms 8 points 1 year ago

Registered ! Can't wait to launch rocket and see what lemmy has to offer through best interface

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yes resurrection! Welcome back for the next chapter!!!

[โ€“] momtheregoesthatman 7 points 1 year ago

I cannot wait. @Rubรฉn making Boost for Lemmy is what moved me here. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€'s immediately when it's available ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ.

[โ€“] ShadowCat 7 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been using Jerboa, can't wait until I can use Boost again!

Looking forward to going back to boost!

[โ€“] TheVampireSaga 5 points 1 year ago

Shiiit it'll be like my ass never left if it comes soon lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Vamos! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€

[โ€“] s0phia 6 points 1 year ago

Thank you, this means a lot! Boost was my favorite app and I'm glad we'll have Boost for Lemmy too.

[โ€“] ImpeccableMithril 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't wait, Boost lives on! :D

hopefully this will make the porn better

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah! Sky is the limit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Rubรฉn! thanks for years of development. Where can I drop you some Bitcoin? B)

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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!

[โ€“] impulse 6 points 1 year ago

Have used Reddit exclusively on Boost since 2018. This is amazing news!

[โ€“] acrobaticpenguin23 5 points 1 year ago

Holy +$@#$%-!! I was floating in the Pacific Ocean for weeks ๐Ÿฅถ after the ship sank. A kind Samaritan pulled me aboard and I'm now safe and sound ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’ฏ in the BoostforLemmy community.

Also am very much looking forward to the impending app release!

[โ€“] confluence 5 points 1 year ago

I will gladly pay.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks, you're a legend ๐Ÿ™

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] RobSPetri 5 points 1 year ago

Any idea on a timeline?
