It was previously my least favorite android option, but Jerboa is coming together nicely.

I also have Thunder and liftoff installed. I bounce between all 3.

I'll most likely be jumping to Boost if/when that comes out because I'm just so used to it.

Boost is coming to Lemmy? Where can I follow for info on that? That was the app I used for Reddit, and while Jerboa has similar features it's not quite the same for me. Especially the swipe gestures...

Also, surprisingly, Boost is still working for me fot Reddit. I'm still waiting for it to crash.

Where can I follow for info on that?

The dev created a community at !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world.

Is that the right address? I get an "error: could not find a user with that id"

Mm, not sure. When I click that link from my wefwef "app", I see the community as expected. From what I understand, that syntax should work from any Lemmy instance. You should be able to search for it locally since you are on the same instance as that community. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Edit: In a browser, clicking the link takes me from https://programming.dev/comment/607529 (this post relative to my local instance) to https://programming.dev/c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world (the boostforlemmy community content that is synced to my local instance).

There is no info from dev, but it's listed in Play Store as coming soon. You can also register there.

I patched Boost just in case, so I check the sub every day to see if it's still working.

Last I saw, Reddit is ending the API over the next few weeks. Because of course they are.

You can find boost for Lemmy in Google play store where you can register for access when it launches.

I kinda like jerboa because it reminds me a bit of Sync. The dev for sync is actually making a Lemmy app though, so I'll probably switch to that one when it comes out.
