This will definitely change the game for me. Jerboa has been a nice stop-gap, but as a paid Boost user previously, I’ll be jumping back in with Lemmy too.
Yep, same. I have some expectations how the UI should behave (like boost did) and I’m certain Ruben managed to copy the UX to the new boost.
Well, the code was remade from scratch in order to be fully compatible with Lemmy. I guess that Infinity for Everything (formerly it was a Reddit client) will be compatible fully with kbin and Lemmy.
I’ve tried jerboa, liftoff, andd connect. While they all work none of them do everything I want and they all have weird quirks.
The more lemmy apps that comeabout the better.
That’s the best compromise for me but it still have some quirks too : the search function is still limited, gesture-only interactions is weird and a few features are missing like deleting posts, jumping to a comment from your notifications, …
Liftoff has been great so far, but if this can have anywhere near the polish of its reddit counterpart, I’ll have no issues switching. I really want that compressed mode. Looks like RiF almost
Not sure what version you’re on, but the “compact” view in Liftoff now (I’m on version 0.10.9} is actually compact:
I gotta agree with this. I was a RiF user for some years. So far I have Connect, Thunder and Liftoff. So far, Liftoff has provided the closest I have to the ol RiF experience. Boost doesn’t look that much different, but I’m gonna give it a shot seeing as how many peoples on here sing Boost’s praises
Never for the life of me understood why Boost wasn’t mentioned alongside the other popular apps. It’s perfect. The only one I’ve used. All of my internal monologue feedback about Jerboa and Wefwef can be categorized under “Be Boost.”
I’m ever hopeful we might have a Lemmy Is Fun app one day,but there’s been so much chatter about boost I’m excited to try it.
They should just rename it to Lemmy is Federated. It’s the same initials!
I think in one of his closing posts the dev for RIF said he was developing a Tilde app
Hmmmmm. I’ve not tried Tilde yet. I just went all in on lemmy during the rexodus. I’ll have to check it out.
It’s tricky to try out since it’s invitation-only. As far as I understand they want to focus more on long-form content and high-effort posting, so it’s not really a Reddit alternative per se.
As for Lemmy is Fun, it doesn’t look particularly likely, though talklittle (the dev) at least made a Lemmy account , so your prospects are at least better than fans of Baconreader. Maybe the future chances are at least non-zero, provided Lemmy continues to grow.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up, though.
I’m currently testing out connect and it seems a lot like infinity. Swipe to go from post to post and a lot of other customization. I didn’t like liftoff because of it but that might change. If boost can do this I might try it.
I really, really like connect. But I’m in a sub for a word game, and the only way to spoiler the screenshots (so that I can read the clues, but not get the answer) is to NSFW tag it. Connect still shows the unblurred images, even if I choose to have blur turned on. I’m on Jerboa until that gets fixed. Since you use connect, have you found a problem like that with yours?
