Omg that was the Reddit client I used

All my dreams are coming true. This was worth seeing Reddit crash and burn. Yes. I like this new age.

I was a big fan of Boost. I will be checking this out!

[–] Dekthro@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

As was I. My girlfriend still uses it to this day. Not tomorrow though, lol.

Oh holy shit I am in. Even if you charge me $50 one time, I'm so in. Boost has been my bread and butter for YEARS, ive purchased on multiple devices and I will 1000% support the dev on this.

Edit: Just presubscribed or whatever. Also emailed our dear savior asking about donating in the meantime. I'll drop a link here if he gets back to me so we can all celebrate with our wallets.

This was my main app to interact with the reddit. I'm stoked!

[–] Reil@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Nice! This is the client I had settled on for years, so it's good to see it live on, for this platform.

[–] Namstel@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

This is fantastic news! I've been using Boost for Reddit for many years, it was simply the best for me.

[–] Crotaro@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That's amazing! Until a few seconds ago, I was sure I'll just keep using lemmy from my browser.

[–] crisisingot@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Omg yes this one was my favorite. I am HYPED

Good for them! Boost was my favorite Android client. Hopefully more devs follow.

[–] Robotnik@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

It is possible to register on Google play to automatically download it when it's ready. It's exiting to see a reddit app moving to lemmy. I hope more apps will do the same.

..aaaaaaaand I pre-registered. Thanks for the heads up!

[–] nlm@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Same here, hope the development goes smoothly!

They've been working on it a long while it seems (makes sense though), I remember the post at the top of the first screenshot.

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yooooooooooooo yay!!!! Boost was what i used before sync got its recent updates. Love to see this!!!!

[–] fracture@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

let's fucking GOOOOO

[–] ImpeccableMithril@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing news! I love Boost so much and I have no doubts Boost for Lemmy will be fantastic to use. :)

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does anyone who used Boost before, know if you can pay to turn off ads with a one-time purchase?

[–] Hybrid_Dust@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yes you can

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Instantly preregistered as soon as I heard!

[–] pixelbud@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Looks so good that my iPhone is jealous 😂

[–] Plain@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

This was my favorite reddit app by far. Holy smokes I'm so excited for it to come to Lemmy. ❤️
