That's also not a FOSS app, is it
Not a FOSS app.
Best friggin news all day.
I've tried just about every android app for reddit and have firmly been a boost user since I tried it years ago. I was metlntally prepping myself for sync but now I may not have to!
Sync for Lemmy is coming too and that's how I heard of Lemmy! Excited to be on a fresh internet community, feels nostalgic in a way even though it's brand new
This is great. Lemmy needs more 3P apps, as most people don't like using websites directly.
Awesome! I can't wait!
Boost is my favourite, so looking forward to getting this!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boost is my #1 app for Reddit. Such a beautiful and loved all the features in it.
We've arrived
I've been waiting for it to come out and it just got pushed to my phone today. This is my first comment on Lemmy! Woo! So far it's feeling pretty seamless.
LET'S GO!!
written from Boost for Lemmy
Great news
Most excellent, cannot wait!!
Let's go.
Wait what, I thought he wasn't doing it, saying he was going to do smaller apps. I guess this is what he meant by "smaller apps"? xD
Yeah, he straight up said he wasn't going to do a Lemmy app, I'm confused.
If the app contain adds how good can be?? 😝
Boost for reddit is open source, I assume the lemmy version will also be open source. Also I think it's like $2 to get rid of ads forever.
IMHO open source developers should be paid for their work, if it must be ads then so be it.
Well if its opensource anyone can easly get ride of the adds. I agree with you that developers schould be paid but there is many ways to be paid we all fight for privacy and against adds on the internet using adblocks for example i personaly always pay for developers fairemail and typewise to rename few but i dont like to be forced to pay and in between my phone are establishing connections to the adds servers exposing ip addresse connection times and so on adds are not only adds there is a lot of metadata that can be extracted from adds. And finally the purpose of developing opensourse apps is to serve the community with more friendly apps than the big companies offers to us. But... its just me saying that....
That's great. I've been using boost for years, can't wait to have them for lemmy!
Why does it have to be so hard to find communities? Trying to add this, but it doesn't show up: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy
Should I just leave lemm.ee since it has trouble finding every single community?
When browsing communities from other instances you need to modify the link as follows:
Such a mess of a URL. I sincerely hope something else comes up to surpass Lemmy/kbin, or that the apps in development hide those kinds of messy bits.
