About this app

Boost for Lemmy is designed to provide a seamless browsing experience for the decentralized social platform Lemmy and the Fediverse.

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit: Whether you're interested in technology, art, politics, or any other topic, you can find and join communities that align with your interests. Upvote or downvote posts, leave comments, and join conversations that pique your interest. Express your opinions, share your expertise, or simply learn from others. The decentralized nature of Lemmy and the Fediverse fosters diverse and inclusive discussions.

Ratings and reviews

Boost was always great in the Reddit years and now it's even better with Lemmy. Does a fantastic job of presenting the federated social experience and you can customize its look and interface extensively. Also the developer has always been, and continues to be, a hero and an accessible rockstar, very responsive and in touch with the user community. Certainly worth supporting and using full time.

This is a great first iteration of the app! Only complaints are that it lacks some features that Boost for Reddit had (e.g. gallery views, linking to images rather than displaying them in comments etc.) and the fact that many links don't open in the app any more. However, the app is blazingly fast and has a good chunk of customization.

I don't know what's going on, but something broke a few days ago and hasn't been fixed. It's showing a bunch of "saved" posts that i never saved, my block lists are gone and aren't updating when i block stuff, up votes aren't being saved. Uninstalling for now.
