I’m out of the loop I guess, why is everyone insisting this app will be supreme before it has even been released?
Will it have ads? I’m using connect and I’m just feeling like there’s not enough ads. Had RIF and it had just the right amount of Ads. The masses won’t take Lemmy seriously until we get more ads around here.
/s in case your panties just started to twist.
The thing is that Boost was a really good 3rd party reddit app. It was very stable and had a lot of attention to detail and quality of life things you don’t notice until it’s gone.
If Boost really is going to come to Lemmy and be in the same or similar level of quality as it was on reddit, it’s going to be awesome.
Boost was my favourite Reddit app, couldn’t tell you why off the top of my head because I’ve been using it for so long now
Think a lot of people are excited because it’s the same app they’re used to which was pretty damn good as far as Reddit apps went
Also I think for a lot of people it’s closure to the whole leaving Reddit thing, at the moment I think the experience is more or less equivalent to what Reddit was but the interface can still be unfamiliar and janky sometimes. Makes Lemmy a drop in replacement for old Reddit users
because Boost for Reddit was fantastic, but Jerboa is also great so I’m pretty sure I’ll flip flop between the two from time to time
Jerboa reminds me of RiF with a few differences which is why I personally like it, I never used Boost, is it similar?
Tangentially related: has anyone got app recommendations for a Relay for Reddit refugee? I have been using Connect and Liftoff and enjoying them both, but open to other suggestions. Will probably check out Boost when it releases, but since I haven’t used Boost for Reddit I don’t know what to expect.
I’m a Relay user. Getting used to Jerboa, Jerboa is fine. Will try Boost as well. There isn’t a swipey app like Relay right now though. Hope dbrady makes his mind up about what Relay for Reddit is doing, then make a Lemmy version.
