      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!

      Can you give us at least an approximate date of release?

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

    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.

    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, 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.

    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.

    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?
