This is the first comment on Boost for Lemmy

History in the making before our eyes! 👀
Can't wait - I need to replace the empty space on my home screen which was previously the home of boost for reddit
- Same. Every now and then I still reflexively tap my screen to open it.
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
I was here
It can't come soon enough!
🫣
Can you give us at least an approximate date of release?

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!

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.

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

is it just me or is the Boost app for reddit still working...?
- It is, if you're a mod. I'm still using it

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.

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

Rubén! thanks for years of development. Where can I drop you some Bitcoin? B)

VAMOOOSSS!!!

I go where Boost goes

hopefully this will make the porn better

I cannot wait. @Rubén making Boost for Lemmy is what moved me here. 🚀🚀's immediately when it's available 🙏🏼.

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

Probably 3-6 weeks. At next for a basic version and then build up based on community feedback

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.

@rmayayo@lemmy.world 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?

Holy +$@#$%-!! I was floating in the Pacific Ocean for weeks 🥶 after the ship sank. A kind Samaritan pulled me aboard and I'm now safe and sound 🤗💯 in the BoostforLemmy community.

Also am very much looking forward to the impending app release!

Any idea on a timeline?

Thanks for developing for Lemmy!

Been using Jerboa, can't wait until I can use Boost again!

Same!

I will gladly pay.

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

my favorite reddit app reincarnated 🙏

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.

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.

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

Can't wait to try this out and have a reason to launch the rocket once more 🙂

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.

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

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.

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!

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

Thank you, this means a lot! Boost was my favorite app and I'm glad we'll have Boost for Lemmy too.

Looking forward to this! Thanks, Rubén!

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

Thanks, you're a legend 🙏

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)

Will be launching the rocket as soon as this becomes available, none of the current Android apps have gotten close to how good Boost was for Reddit. Can't wait to use it again

I can't wait for this app to release! I've been using Boost for reddit for as long as I can remember and while the current crop of Lemmy apps are okay, they just don't compare to Boost IMO.

Thank god. Boost is my favorite by a mile.

im very happy to see this

Can't wait, Boost lives on! :D

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

Boost for reddit is still working for me though
- Ends today I belive

Permanently Deleted

I'm enjoying my Feddit experience on desktop, and I can't wait for this to drop! You're doing great work o7

Have used Reddit exclusively on Boost since 2018. This is amazing news!

I'm so glad this is happening!

So glad to hear this is coming, been using boost for reddit for years

Well you be doing the same one off fee structure for this one?

Yeah! Sky is the limit.

Wow! this absolutely made my day! THANK YOU rmayayo!!

This makes me so happy! I'm so glad you decided to make a Lemmy app and I'm very much looking forward to using it. Thank you so much for your hard work with Boost, both for Reddit and now for Lemmy!

🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

this is awesome!

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

Can't wait!

was so happy to see this! Hope kbin support follows soon

Definitely. I've registered with both, kbin and Lemmy, and unfortunately most seem to migrate towards the latter. Kbin is cleaner and less buggy.
another +1 for kbin. I dislike lemmy from a desktop persepective.

FUCK YEAH

Pre-registered..

Holy shit!!!! I thought Ruben was switching over to making smaller projects... This is amazing!

I'm a Sync guy. But I am so glad that we are reducing the barrier to entry for the community. I hope we get large enough to topple reddit

Preregistered!

Many thanks for your hard work, I'm very excited that I don't need to say goodbye to boost. 🥳

I can hardly wait! Any rough timeline? Are we looking at days, weeks, or months?

Take my money!!!

Absolutely fucking let's.

Been using boost over on Reddit for years, your app's awesome.

Can't wait to buy the fediverse one. You're going to be appreciated for this, a LOT of us have come over here thanks to spez's total goddamn madness.

Glad to see you here with us!

P.s. Any chance that it may also support kbin one day too? They should be sorting out their API soon since a lot of devs just migrated over and Ernest actually has help developing kbin now. Sure, I can just make as Lemmy account in the meantime, but it'd be a pretty cool eventual option to have

Hyyyyypppeeee! Looking forward to having something more functional for this side of the coin!
