As a boost user this is weird... So many people were asking in the subreddit and he never answered. I'm glad it's happening

I am really excited for this one . Always loved boost .
This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.
Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.
we're up for a treat folks!!
This is a game changer
This is the most exiting fedinews I've ever read.
Awesome pawsome
hellzz yaa
Nice
Nice, Boost was my reddit app of choice
Hell yeah, another great app joining the migration. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Keep up the great work.
Hell yeah!
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.

The promise of Boost for Lemmy is what got me to sign up.
This is good news. Boost was my favorite until I switched to infinity.
Contains ads? Data shared with third parties? Not feeling it.
The paid version doesn't have ads. But yes I switched to infinity because it was FOSS. I also liked the ux better.

Yesssssssssssssss! Thank you for this!
Yay!!!
Hell yeah, Boost rules
This is amazing! I can't wait for this to get released + Sync!
I'm a total noob so using lemmy was a real challenge to get started, but I downloaded wefwef today and it's basically just like Reddit, very easy to use and feels very comfortable.
Connect for lemmy is also the same experience as reddit. It's little unstable like any other lemmy app but I don't miss reddit while using it feels like i am just using a different app for reddit 😁😁

I think most, if not all the major 3rd party app devs are working on something for Lemmy now. Reddit has not only devalued themselves, but made the Fediverse 100% more accessable. I'm a Boost user so this is awesome news. There are so many Lemmy apps in the pipeline. I've tried Connect Jeroba and Thunder. At this point they're all newish, and pretty much the same. Hopefully all this app competition will lead to new innovation. Lemmy users are the winners here. We're witnessing the dawn of the Lemmy app wars.

Same. I imagine there hasn't been anything official from Reddit as they are trying to cut off 3rd party apps on phases to avoid a massive drop in traffic.
Think of it as smoothing the transition to increase their odds that people will cave to "peer pressure" and just download the official app.
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK WHAT!?
Last time I checked dev wasn't too convinced of it!!!!!
Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn't interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.
You beauty!
