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:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/comment/jow1le5

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!

Let's go!!!

[-] Knightfall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Boost and Sync were my top two over the years. Happy to see Boost is making this switch too!

[-] Ghostface21@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Use open source clients.

Yes! This is the proper response to Reddit's API changes.

[-] Sterben@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It will be good feature wise, but privacy?

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for turning attention to those. I got curious and looked at the ones for Boost for reddit and they seem about the same. A bit funny to see that the settings for the app only show Notifications as a granted permission (and no other possible ones). Can anyone familiar with Android app development chime in with some details?

I'd appreciate if the dev could explain the need for these perms. I'm sure it's something innocuous, but it'd be relieving to hear why they're there.

[-] HidingCat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Wait what, I thought he wasn't doing it, saying he was going to do smaller apps. I guess this is what he meant by "smaller apps"? xD

[-] UnhappyCamper@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, he straight up said he wasn't going to do a Lemmy app, I'm confused.

[-] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's also not a FOSS app, is it

[-] SchmallChild@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not a FOSS app.

Oh mah lord

[-] d4rknusw1ld@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Where Apollo for Lemmy :(

[-] falconfetus8@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I am super duper excited!

[-] mountaindew@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] sserdarth@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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 !

[-] eating3645@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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!

[-] Adori@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

YEAAAAHHH BOOOST, WE LOVE BOOST

[-] thunderbird32@fedia.io 1 points 2 years ago

Hopefully it supports Kbin as well

[-] MrPear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Awesome! I can't wait!

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago
