The only downside for me is the ad trackers. If those get disabled when we pay for no ads, then it would be perfect
Not saying that doesn’t happen, I just don’t know…
This is an interesting question. Maybe Ruben can answer? Or Google it and see what other apps have to say.
Apparently the ad tracking is disabled when you launch the rocket. Also, I deleted the other apps pretty much right away 🤣
Even the beta version is more usable and way faster than other released apps. Incredible!
Yup, paid for the add removal from the get. Love Boost.
It doesnt appear to be released for Android yet. Why you gotta get my hopes up…
you have to click the link the dev sent on the pinned post in order to be able to access it
Thanks, I had only checked the store. Didnt realize it was an early access thing
I hate to say it, but I’m on Android and using Boost right now… Have you checked the community, there is some good info on how to get access to the Beta
Link please; I am tired.
Thanks, King
Average proprietary software user
More like I’m too old and burnt out for this bullshit. At this point in my life, I just want a simple solution. Privacy is dead anyway.
Just let me consooom 😣😫😫 But only with Boost which is inconvenient for me to access

You think that sort of behaviour is helping anything?
It’s always entertaining to make fun of inert people
I’ve been using the Photon front-end on both desktop, and mobile, pretty much since it became available on this instance, after trying a dozen different mobile apps, that weren’t an obvious 3-day hack, just to fill the niche. Boost is superior than all of them, combined, without any exaggeration
photon is an obvious 3-day hack? ☹️
My guy, why would I say that I use photon if I didn’t like it lol.
I’ve taken a minute to look up who you are. Thanks for the hard work c: I suppose i didn’t get the point across in the main post, but Photon had been my frontend of choice
My post was sarcastic, don’t worry
Boost is quite a good client.
Photon is amazing
I guess I’m the guy in the yellow shirt still looking for a /kbin app.
Thanks to this, I realized Boost for Lemmy is finally out! I immediately signed up for the beta and downloaded it.
Connect is my jam
I use Sync at the moment. Is there anything Boost offers over Sync that would be worth switching over for? Always looking for a better experience when possible
Same here. Very happy with Sync. Not sure what I’m missing.
I wouldn’t say it offers anything grand to make you switch. It’s just another flavor of ui that many people, like myself, personally enjoy.
Though if I were asked to pick something specific, it would be the customizability. It does have fewer options compared to the reddit version, but they will likely be added in the future.
The customizability is also why I use sync. Do you have experience with both? Which is better?
I bought and used both for Reddit… I used Sync for longer and liked it better but of all the Android clients I ever used Boost was definitely the closest 2nd for me.
How about the fact that Boost doesn’t rip you off with ridiculously outrageous pricing to remove ads?
That’s pretty high on my priority list.
As a user of Blokada, the ads are thankfully not a problem. That’d be a real strike against Sync for normal users though.
I was mostly using sync while waiting for boost to get a Lemmy port, and could make sync to look and feel pretty close to boost for reddit. I had a rather pleasant experience with sync overall. Both are pretty similar out of the box, very configurable and very polished, but now that boost for Lemmy is out, I’m back on boost. Not that boost has a killer feature that sync’s missing, just that I find boost subjectively better.
An instant switch. All of my muscle memory is coming back to me now.
Does Boost have a desktop app? That would be dope.
The Android app works well when installed on Windows (Windows Subsystem for Android).
Definitely relate.
Bought it immediately
I felt sad when I uninstalled Voyager.
