    Some of y’all have no appreciation for independent app developers

    I’ll take my downvote now

      Really, it’s cool that some want to make their apps for free with no ads, but I’ll support devs who put in hard work to make a good app, it’s ridiculous to think that they don’t deserve some sort of compensation.

      The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

      Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.

        I don’t really complain about seeing ads in apps i didn’t pay for, but I do complain about seeing ads on public transit and in the world in general. I don’t want the world plastered with ads.

        Hell they’re on the motorways here which seems ludicrous.

      I think you’re confusing “independent” with “works for free.”

      I haven’t switched at this point because Connect works well for me, but people’s work has value.

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

    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.

    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’m shocked and impressed with how much this reminds me of 2022 Reddit. I went cold turkey after the API changes, but installing this and setting up my old theme has been astounding.

    Will I give up my FOSS Jerboa for this? I very well might

      I can barely tell them apart, if it wasn’t for the @instance.tld they’re visually identical!

    Today I was finally able to download Boost for Lemmy. It looks really good. I inmediately bought the ad-free version. There are still some key features missing: the ability to hide posts, the ability to open community links and when I logged in for the very first time, the app semi-crashed and everything went dark. I had to restart the app and log in again. But apart from that, I really like it.

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