Great news
Is this real??? He said he wasn't going to do this 🤔
He said he would not be doing Boost for Lemmy, and that he would focus on smaller apps:

And he only registered the Lemmy community to prevent impersonation:

I wonder if he put this on the store as a placeholder to also prevent impersonation?
EDIT: Damn, just saw the screenshots. Either this is a very elaborate placeholder, or it's really happening!
Oh HELL yea. I've been using Boost ever since I moved from Sync like 6 years ago. This is fantastic news.
Jerboa has been a really similar experience to Boost so far, compared to other Lemmy apps. However, Boost had some features I've been missing dearly, I'm so glad to hear this!
I'll definitely use it when it releases!
Noice
So pumped. Was my favorite Reddit app. Dumped all my Google Rewards Survey money to them as a thanks once the API news broke to thank them. Was hopeful this was happening when updates kept coming these past couple weeks with subreddits being renamed to communities and front page being renamed to home.
awesome! boost was my favorite reddit app, im glad the developer sees a future in the fediverse!
On to the next one. I pay (support) em all
That's great, was using boost for a long time for reddit, hopefully it'll help me navigate lemmy a little easier.
This is awesome!
I've been kind of expecting this move from a community person like Mr. Mayayo. I'm going to launch the rocket in a heart beat !
Sync for Lemmy is coming too and that's how I heard of Lemmy! Excited to be on a fresh internet community, feels nostalgic in a way even though it's brand new
Best friggin news all day.
I've tried just about every android app for reddit and have firmly been a boost user since I tried it years ago. I was metlntally prepping myself for sync but now I may not have to!
This is so exciting! I used boost for reddit for 6 years and loved it! Can't wait to use it with lemmy
Seeing all these new Lemmy apps popping up.. such a nice view
I'm a sync guy but this news has me so excited. I will try Boost for Lemmy when it comes out and likely support it anyways.
Well I'm buying it once it releases.
This is really good news!
Nice. Jerboa is inspired by it, but it's nowhere even close to Boost yet.
