First of all, thank you so much for doing Boost for Lemmy. Boost was what made reddit nice, while their app and web ui went down the drain. I am super happy to now be able to use Boost to access lemmy! The app already seems to be quite solid (haven't seen a bug, yet). The only minor issue I have is that Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy have the same set of icons and are quite difficult to distinguish: Though, that can be easily worked around by changing the icon for one of them via settings. Maybe the default icons + a small super imposed logo/mascot of the respective platform would be a nice idea (there might be copyright issues).

Does boost for Reddit still work? I quit Reddit and deleted my account and moved to lemmy. I assumed boost for Reddit no longer functioned.

My wife still uses it and tells me that nothing has changed with its functionality. It quit working on my phone ages ago and I have been here since. How are folks getting Boost for Lemmy? Play store still shows it as a prereg. I'm on Voyager at the moment.

You have to sign up for the early access. There's a link in a pinned post in the boost for lemmy community.

Different thing. Look for the pinned post and the link in there. Once you're registered for early access, you'll find an entry for Boost for Lemmy in the playstore that's explicitly labeled as early access.
