This is the first comment on Boost for Lemmy

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 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€“] [email protected] 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] 13 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

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] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

VAMOOOSSS!!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 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€“] [email protected] 8 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€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

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

hopefully this will make the porn better

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

my favorite reddit app reincarnated ๐Ÿ™

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 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] 6 points 1 year ago

I go where Boost goes

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

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

Boost for reddit is still working for me though

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

still working this AM...

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

Is a Patreon or something similar in the works for people who want to support this transition?

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

Hey, so happy to see you over here. I'd the thrilled to have Boost back.

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

Yeah! Sky is the limit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 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€“] [email protected] 5 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€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly.. Last thing I'd do is using Reddit official app.

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€“] LawfulPirate 4 points 1 year ago

I'm so glad this is happening!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 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€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for developing for Lemmy!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Any idea on a timeline?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 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€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I will gladly pay.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

How close are we to Boost for Lemmy? I'm trying Sync and hate it. I miss boost and will buy it day one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is the best news. Long time paid Boost user here who will GLADLY pay again for this (please be a once off rather than subscription like before)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you very much indeed sir, oh yes.

Pop-Fact: Boost is also the name of an interesting Cadburys chocolate bar in the UK and other regions. I used to love the peanut one.

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

Can't wait, Boost lives on! :D

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'll still be able to scroll on boost at work! Hurray!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Vamos! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€
