You beauty!
Super keen, boost was the only app that gets any proper use on my phone
Are there any good iOS apps coming?
I’m using wefwef and Memmy for now… wefwef is an Apollo clone
Just installed wefwef and it's great! Really off putting name tbh but looks exactly like Apollo

I'm so excited for this
Let's go!!!
Contains ads • In-app purchases
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.
Yeah.. fuck that lol. Why would you ruin pefectly good FOSS by knowingly slapping proprietary adware crap on top of it.
Use open source clients.
Woohoo! This one is my app of choice. So excited to see it coming to Lemmy.
Great news
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!
God I love to see this. What gifts, all these apps! I've used 4 so far and they all rock. I can't make up my mind.
Yes! This is the proper response to Reddit's API changes.
hell yeah! great news
On to the next one. I pay (support) em all
Noice
This is awesome!
Where Apollo for Lemmy :(
This is awesome news indeed!
I've used the app for years, I'm pretty happy it's getting it's lemmy version, it's a surprise but a welcome one.
I'm a sync guy but this news has me so excited. I will try Boost for Lemmy when it comes out and likely support it anyways.
Sync for Lemmy is also happening!
