I’m out of the loop I guess, why is everyone insisting this app will be supreme before it has even been released?
It was a really nice Reddit App, and the developer announced a Lemmy version. So if the Lemmy version is anything as good as the Reddit version, it’ll be definitely one of the best apps out there. It’s very needed in a time where all the Lemmy mobile apps are still pretty immature.
It’s not that it hasn’t been released, it already exists. Boost was one of the 3rd party apps for Reddit considered to be one of the top 3 (second only to Apollo and RiF) in terms of performance and UX. Since Reddit booted them off their service, the developer announced he was simply going to rewrite the backend to support Lemmy with the same quality UX and performance that is already known.

I can already hear the Sync fanboys pouring in from their discord to disagree.
PSA for all former apollo users: voyager for lemmy (wefwef.app) is what you’re looking for. Go to the site, press the share button, and press add to Home Screen. I always held out hope that apollo would be reincarnated for lemmy, but I never expected it to happen this fast and to work this well
Honestly IMO it’s a bit cringe for me that so many people are like, “fuck these Lemmy apps this [insert unreleased app] is amazing!”.
Like calm down, lol. Let’s see how it’ll be first, a lot of the Lemmy apps are great right now.

While I have no allegiance to any particular app I am somewhat hyped for any and all established former Reddit apps to make the transition. Each release should hopefully bring a small bump of users with it. Also, the diversity of how a user can interact with fediverse is satisfying. Initially I was hoping for something along the lines of lemmyisfun or kbinisfun. Presently I’m enjoying connect for lemmy and anticipating whatever comes next.
Liftoff is at a stage i don’t need Sync to hurry anymore.
The apps were just lightyears behind anything we used for Reddit, it is getting there and i’m happy.
I’ve tried all the available Lemmy apps for Android and none of them are at good at Boost was. Anyway, the more the merrier
It will be a Lemmy app made by a developer who previously worked on a popular Reddit app. If it beats sync out of the gate, it will be the first one to do so.
All the other apps have been from new or unknown sources. Boost is a known entity.
Longtime RiF user up in here. I’m definitely gonna give it a shot as yeah the HYPE is mucho, but for now Liftoff scratches the itch. I feel like we’re in this beautiful age of venturing out into the stars of the Fediverse and seeing what’s out there. So yeah, endless newness and can’t wait to see Boost and whatever is next
I keep hoping for LiF. Last I saw he might work on a Tildes app but I didn’t see any plans for Lemmy.
