I guess this would be as good a place as any to ask this…
The only app I used for Reddit was BaconReader, and I loved it so I paid for premium. Does anyone know if the developers are making a Lemmy alt? Or which app will give me the closest BR feel?
I don’t recall seeing anything about a Lemmy version in their subreddit leading up to the exodus unfortunately. As a former user myself, I did move to Boost eventually but for now I use Liftoff or Connect to get close to that feel. Definitely give Boost a shot once it’s out too. You can pre-signup on the app store.
I moved from bacon reader to boost when it first came out. Ruben even implemented a feature I asked for on the same day!
Boost is a better bacon than bacon IMO.
Excellent, can’t wait!
Nice
😍
This will definitely change the game for me. Jerboa has been a nice stop-gap, but as a paid Boost user previously, I’ll be jumping back in with Lemmy too.
Yep, same. I have some expectations how the UI should behave (like boost did) and I’m certain Ruben managed to copy the UX to the new boost.
Well, the code was remade from scratch in order to be fully compatible with Lemmy. I guess that Infinity for Everything (formerly it was a Reddit client) will be compatible fully with kbin and Lemmy.
Thunder for Lemmy
Afaik Infinity for Everything is a fork. Unfortunately, the official app is still a Reddit-only client.
I didn’t have any problem paying before and I won’t have any problem paying for it again.
The rocket has landed
Ayyyyyy
Can’t wait
Liftoff has been great so far, but if this can have anywhere near the polish of its reddit counterpart, I’ll have no issues switching. I really want that compressed mode. Looks like RiF almost
Not sure what version you’re on, but the “compact” view in Liftoff now (I’m on version 0.10.9) is actually compact:
I gotta agree with this. I was a RiF user for some years. So far I have Connect, Thunder and Liftoff. Of the three apps; Liftoff has provided the closest I have to the RiF experience. Boost doesn’t look that much different, but I’m gonna give it a shot seeing as how many peoples on here sing Boost’s praises
Are there plans for RiF to develop something for lemmy?
Absolutely. That compressed old-reddit view is what I used to use in boost all the time.
This is great! Can’t wait! Thank you for all your hard work!
gif which ended up being too large. Click to show.
We are more than ready to take off, pre-registered on the play store from the start!!
I honestly don’t know which app I’m gonna end use it, I never feel this way with Reddit clients but between Thunder, Voyager, Sync and Boost for Lemmy I can’t really chose, am I a psycho because I’m actually thinking in cycle them?
Not at all. I cycle through three right now.
I really really like Voyager and its breakneck release schedule but it’s definitely missing stuff that a native app would have, like notifications.
Yeah, definitely, I still have hopes dev releases a proper app for Android (and iOS) it would be a killer app for sure.
I’m cycling through 5 right now: Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder, Connect, and Voyager.
They all seem to be improving so quickly, that I end up being unable to decide. I was on mostly Jerboa, but now I’m mostly on voyager. I like being able to selfhost it.
I’m mostly between Connect and Voyager, but as a close option Summit and then Thunder.
I feel Thunder has the best UI of all, but it is missing the mark as read post while scroll and hide read posts, those are key features for me and both the other three implements them in a good way.
You should settle on Liftoff because some of my code is running in it!
Or not. But it’d be pretty cool if you did.
If you need beta testers, let us know! Used Boost for Reddit for years, can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy!
Can’t wait, Boost was the best
Looking forward to trying it! I’m going in with an open mind and definitely not expecting the experience to be as flawless as the original since even Lemmy itself is still in development.
