What happened to Boost for Lemmy? - eviltoast

It was announced back in June but I haven’t heard anything about it since.

      Boost for Reddit was a very popular third-party Reddit app. After Reddit’s API changes, causing the third-party apps to shut down, the Boost developer is now making an app for Lemmy.

          Gonna take a guess, but it probably was a good client and for many people it was the most enjoyable method to access reddit with it. For me it was Sync, now called “Sync for Lemmy”

          Did you ever use the official Reddit app? I personally do not like it very much. The third-party Reddit apps were just a whole lot better, at least in my opinion and others. Apps like Boost and Sync were both very popular Reddit apps, but have both now moved on to Lemmy.

            Yeah I did, but I didn’t know there were better options. I’m not what you’d call “tech savvy.”

            I mean, I can get porn on my phone, but I haven’t quite figured out how to fuck this thing yet.

            Well good because I’m using Memmy right now, and it fucking sucks.

            But I do appreciate all the work the devs have been doing on it for free, and it’s leaps and bounds ahead of how bad it used to be.

              Boost is probably just going to be an Android app, since Boost for Reddit was also Android only. I wasn’t sure if the app you were talking about, Memmy, was an IOS app.
