This is the first comment on Boost for Lemmy

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!

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

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.

I am registered and a long time Reddit boost user, I will pay again for boost for lemmy, Reddit is dead to me fuck u/spez, the greedy little worm.

Hyped to see it. Any rough timescales yet? Days/weeks/months?

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.

@rmayayo@lemmy.world 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?

Rubén! thanks for years of development. Where can I drop you some Bitcoin? B)

VAMOOOSSS!!!

I go where Boost goes

hopefully this will make the porn better

I cannot wait. @Rubén making Boost for Lemmy is what moved me here. 🚀🚀's immediately when it's available 🙏🏼.

Any idea on a timeline?

Holy +$@#$%-!! I was floating in the Pacific Ocean for weeks 🥶 after the ship sank. A kind Samaritan pulled me aboard and I'm now safe and sound 🤗💯 in the BoostforLemmy community.

Also am very much looking forward to the impending app release!

I will gladly pay.

How close are we to Boost for Lemmy? I'm trying Sync and hate it. I miss boost and will buy it day one.

Thanks for developing for Lemmy!

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.

Been using Jerboa, can't wait until I can use Boost again!

Is a Patreon or something similar in the works for people who want to support this transition?

my favorite reddit app reincarnated 🙏

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.

Registered ! Can't wait to launch rocket and see what lemmy has to offer through best interface

The first time I've "pre-ordered" an app on the play store. Loved boost for reddit, during the blackout I started the rocket one last time and deleted it. Super excited to get it back, thanks for all the work!

Thank you very much indeed sir, oh yes.

Pop-Fact: Boost is also the name of an interesting Cadburys chocolate bar in the UK and other regions. I used to love the peanut one.

Can't wait to try this out and have a reason to launch the rocket once more 🙂

I was unsure where to look for a Reddit alternative, but seeing this app being ported to Lemmy made my decision a lot easier. Looking forward to a smooth transition with Boost.

Registered on Lemmy today because Boost for Reddit died and I don't really want to use Reddit because of the CEO. Now seeing that you are making Boost for Lemmy, I'm really happy! Do you have a release date ready? I'm just so excited :D

This is the best news. Long time paid Boost user here who will GLADLY pay again for this (please be a once off rather than subscription like before)

im very happy to see this

Thank you, this means a lot! Boost was my favorite app and I'm glad we'll have Boost for Lemmy too.

Very excited. Only registered for this now I know Boost is on the way!

Will be launching the rocket as soon as this becomes available, none of the current Android apps have gotten close to how good Boost was for Reddit. Can't wait to use it again

Thanks, you're a legend 🙏

Looking forward to this! Thanks, Rubén!

Yes resurrection! Welcome back for the next chapter!!!

Thank god. Boost is my favorite by a mile.

I can't wait for this app to release! I've been using Boost for reddit for as long as I can remember and while the current crop of Lemmy apps are okay, they just don't compare to Boost IMO.
