Well this came outta nowhere!
Never tried this app for reddit but I’m having fun exploring all the new Lemmy apps. Definitely going to give this a try once it is available!
Whoa and it’s on playstore already huh, cool!
Well, it’s on the Play Store to allow for pre-registration. It’s not available to download yet. But, if you do pre-register it’ll download as soon as the app is made available.
Yeah i saw that, but it’s still kinda cool
I kinda saw it coming when I noticed you have to search for communities instead of subreddits.
Here’s hoping that the contains ads and in app purchases is just a remnant from the reddit app.
Boost was well worth the money and I’d happily pay again for the Lemmy port.
I think it’s important to not scare experienced and skilled developers away with all that brigading for free and open-source.
Developing good software is not easy and as long as Ruben offers a premium version without ads, that’s more than fair.
Do we have any source why dev changed his mind?
He never said anything to my knowledge, the apollo dev said he discontinued it.
Hope Boost dev makes his app open source
No idea. He didn’t say much at all up until very recently, when he made a post confirming that Boost for Reddit was shutting down.
As far as I knew, he had given the impression he wasn’t interested in migrating his app to Lemmy, but apparently that’s not the case!
well thats good. I used Boost for years and was really sad that it was shutting down.
