This is awesome news indeed!
That's great, was using boost for a long time for reddit, hopefully it'll help me navigate lemmy a little easier.
On to the next one. I pay (support) em all
Exciting news! Loved boost for Reddit, will definitely use it for Lemmy!
Noice
Boost was my favorite android client so happy to hear this! Now using a iPhone tho
Is this real??? He said he wasn't going to do this 🤔
He said he would not be doing Boost for Lemmy, and that he would focus on smaller apps:

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:

I wonder if he put this on the store as a placeholder to also prevent impersonation?
EDIT: Damn, just saw the screenshots. Either this is a very elaborate placeholder, or it's really happening!
Great news
Contains ads • In-app purchases
Yeah.. fuck that lol. Why would you ruin pefectly good FOSS by knowingly slapping proprietary adware crap on top of it.
Boost for Reddit was a one off payment to remove all ads and from memory was only a small amount
I'll be more than happy to pay a small fee for the developers work
I actually paid for all Reddit third-party apps with Google Opinion Rewards at some point because I wanted to find the "best" one. Turns out they all looked terrible or didn't have moderation features, so I had to settle with Slide.
I'd also be happy to pay for it if it was open source. Having a free version on F-Droid and a paid one on the Play Store for convenience would be awesome.
Woohoo! This one is my app of choice. So excited to see it coming to Lemmy.
I was using it for last few years, and it's one of the best 3rd part app for reddit.
I just moved here from Reddit and I'm missing Boost already. Really looking forward to this!
YEAAAAHHH BOOOST, WE LOVE BOOST
I like using boost for reddit, very fast and responsive than the reddit app. I will definitely sign up for this
Hopefully it supports Kbin as well
Great news
Most excellent, cannot wait!!
You beauty!
Let's go!!!
Use open source clients.
