Honestly IMO it's a bit cringe for me that so many people are like, "fuck these Lemmy apps this [insert unreleased app] is amazing!".
Like calm down, lol. Let's see how it'll be first, a lot of the Lemmy apps are great right now.
Signed, a Reddit Boost user.
While I have no allegiance to any particular app I am somewhat hyped for any and all established former Reddit apps to make the transition. Each release should hopefully bring a small bump of users with it. Also, the diversity of how a user can interact with fediverse is satisfying. Initially I was hoping for something along the lines of lemmyisfun or kbinisfun. Presently I'm enjoying connect for lemmy and anticipating whatever comes next.
I keep forgetting I have connect installed, I was using the Firefox pwa for a while and finally installed connect and jerboa to test them out
Another Boost faithful here, really enjoying Liftoff. No rush needed.
Liftoff is at a stage i don't need Sync to hurry anymore.
The apps were just lightyears behind anything we used for Reddit, it is getting there and i'm happy.
To me Liftoff looks a lot more cluttered than Jerboa.
Loved Boost for Reddit.
I'm loving Connect, it's everything I need.
I started with Jerboa TBH (who hasn't?), but Connect is much more refined IMO and I love the gestures.
I've tried all the available Lemmy apps for Android and none of them are at good at Boost was. Anyway, the more the merrier
I can say the same for Infinity. That's what I'm really going to miss.
Hopefully Boost is as good as it was, now with community small avatars.
