Thank shit lol. I'm a kbin guy so I'm still gonna wait a while for the kbin API to come out before I can use it with my main account, but at least its out and I can use it with a compatible one in the meantime! I left Sync for Boost (with Reddit lol) and I'm glad this is here now.

[–] CybranM@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Used boost for reddit until that shut down, going to use boost for lemmy!

You can't change the primary background color outside of theme presets? That means I can't make it dark and pink, which is a deal breaker when I have such a gorgeous Sync theme going. I'll keep it downloaded, though. There were things I liked about it for reddit. I may come back around.

I wish it had swipe to up vote and downvote but other than that I love the aesthetics.

[–] Rapdactyl@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago

This finally got me in for reals. 🀠

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I love Boost, I bought it for Reddit. However, I got used to Connect now. The swipe to upvote and hide are intuitive to me now.

[–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Hell yes! Been waiting for this

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Has anyone figured out how to change the default feed? I'm not subscribed to any communities, so I always open to a blank page before switching to all.

I was waiting for this app to release before I even signed up to be honest!

Restore purchase feature needs to be added, couldn't "rebuy" it on a second device.

[–] meiko60@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

the old app that still retains its old feature from Reddit that have been reborn and it is first Lemmy client that support widget. wow!!

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

No thanks, I used to use boost for reddit and I loved it.

But now on lemmy, there are FOSS apps that are just as good I'd rather donate to.

I was a Boost for Reddir user, now I'm using wefwef. Works for me, not sure if I have a reason to go back to Boost.

Blessing from the lords

[–] gusvgus@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

And thus begins my journey into lemmy

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Best app. I want it on iPhone.

[–] calvinball@mtgzone.com 4 points 1 year ago

I'm really happy with the interface to be honest, I was using Voyager up until now but Boost is my new go to!

[–] Never_Sm1le@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Like it so far, will save up rewards to get it ad-free

[–] metallicorb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

First post from Boost for Lemmy! πŸ‘

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got used to liftoff where I could have up vote and down vote arrows on the right, so it's disappointing that I can't seem to find that option here on boost. don't feel like reaching for those vote buttons, otherwise I haven't noticed any remarkable differences from liftoff
