Did this app get abandoned? (self.boostforlemmy)

Last update was 6 months ago, Ruben was active a week and a month ago, so seems to still be alive at least.

Would be a shame, it has a lot going for it, even though the bugs are stacking up =/

Both Boost and Sync tend to get infrequent but large updates. Since the dev is still around, I don't think it's abandonned :)

I have been using it since da1, was using Boost for Reddit before. I still haven’t encountered a bug although I’m not a power user, hope it not gets abandoned because I didn’t find any app I liked, and checked like a dozen or so.

I am working on an update to support some Lemmy 0.19.9 improvements 😘

You might already be aware of this, but if not: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2025-02-03_-_Breaking_Changes_in_Lemmy_1.0

The major breaking changes for version 1.0 are already implemented. However it will still take a lot of work to implement the new features in lemmy-ui, and publish the final release. So this is a good time for developers of Lemmy clients to start adapting the new API, and suggest changes before it gets finalized.

Maybe this could also he helpful info for you: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5508

Great! Looking forward to trying it out when it's done.

Meanwhile I'll be using a different app.

Most of them are. I'm still using eternity, but their last update was months ago.

Might try Connect: [email protected]

I used Boost on Reddit and it was a great app.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just stopped using Connect after I was unable to edit my posts any longer. I'm currently using Voyager. It's taking a little getting used to, but I'm not hating it.

Connect dev here, I'll check out what might be going on with Edit. Sorry!

More likely than not someone changed an API and stuff broke. It's been rock solid, but that had me abandoning ship.

I know how hard it is to maintain software - I've been doing it for over 40 years - so thank you!

Working fine for me, but I hope it isn't abandoned.

Dev! Do not forsake us!

In the last week it's frequently taking 10-15 seconds to retrieve/display posts, comments, etc. whereas before that no issues and instant. Nothing changed on my end hardware/internet wise. Anyone else seeing that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I have not noticed that. That kind of slowness is more likely caused by the server than the client, though. Not much Boost can do about it if it's not receiving the data.
