Praise Post (lemmy.world)

Yesterday I got Boost for Lemmy. I was using Boost for Reddit then went to my home screen. It panned right and showed Boost getting installed again. I was pretty confused until I realized it was Lemmy!

I didn't feel like customizing it again, so I exported my settings from BR and tried importing them into BL to see if it would work. It did! Both of my Boost apps look identical now, both ever so pretty.

I was wondering how accounts would work. I thought that Boost might be its own Fediverse instance. I went to sign in, though, and it let me select the Lemmy instance I wanted to use. Now I can use the same account on my phone as I do on my desktop, so I can see the same account history and notifications.

Overall, I'm beyond pleased with Boost for Lemmy! The transition was completely seamless and it all works like a charm. Wonderful!

Thank you for reminding me of the import/export function, you saved me a couple hours of sitting in the settings of the new app.

Wait what? You can export settings? That would've been helpful to know last night

Edit: it's under advanced settings

It's so good. Long live Boost!

I was a long time Boost user and then switched to Sync. I was excited when Sync for Lemmy was released--until I saw the pricing model. Figured I'd try Boost again and am very happy. Feels so familiar. I quickly paid to remove ads. Good to be back!

Nice to see it! :) I'm confused though, "customize colors" is grayed out on my app. Can't select it.

Disable "Dynamic colors" to enable customize colors

[-] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I did. Ruben helped me out. Thanks. :)

That's weird. I'm able to select it. I don't know what could be going on there.
