@Technological_Elite I don't understand what "Reddit for Lemmy" means. Is this some sort of application to convert Reddit posts to Lemmy or access through Lemmy?
Hey, just make it intentional by calling it a joke. Reddit is nothing without its 3rd party apps, and Boost was one of them. It's basically Reddit for Lemmy.
Boost was my favorite app and I paid for premium. But ever since joining Lemmy I’ve been trying to replace all my apps with ones that are FOSS. I’ll have to pass on this one unless things change
Apparently there's a PR adding the new API that the Artemis dev is already running on a test server, but it's not official to the codebase that major Kbins are running yet.
So seems like we're very close and that should really change things in terms of Kbin apps. Also Artemis is about to launch their public beta as well and from what I understand it's looking pretty nice. Will be great to have an app that supports both Lemmy and Kbin.
So excited! I’m running the Sync for Lemmy beta right now and it’s amazing. It should also have its Google play preload launching any day now with beta release following shortly thereafter.
Edit: sorry, I wasn’t trying to hype sync over boost here. I was just saying having boost and sync coming soon together is really exciting!
He dropped a 100 invite private beta yesterday in his discord to get a small team of bug squashers together so he can take it the last mile before release. I just got lucky and was hanging out at the right time. He has a preregistration pending with google (they have to approve it) that he hopes will become available earliest tomorrow. This will allow you to preregister like you can for boost. Then he is hoping by end of week to launch the public beta. He just finished up implementing search (which will come to us in tomorrow’s update), and is halfway done implementing messaging. Then there’s a high priority comment sorting issue. I think those are the last 3 major bugs he wants worked out before the public beta.
The app is smooth as hell. It’s already on Beta 12 as of today with beta 13 coming tomorrow when he wakes up and compiles it. It’s not perfect featurewise (yet) but boy does it feel like I’m just using reddit. He has a GitHub issue tracker as well so you can see what isn’t working atm if you want.
Tldr: it’s not quite ready yet. I still use Jerboa for posting and the web UI for messages and mod tools at the moment, but at his current pace, I don’t think I’ll be needing multiple for much longer
I believe you! There are lots of little issues - it’s a young platform. If it’s any consolation, “Reddit for Lemmy” makes me giggle everytime I see it.
Fantastic! Same here, I was using the official reddit app, started hesring about 3rd parties. Itried a whole bunch, Joey for reddit, Relay, and Boost to name a few. Boost was the only one that just had the simple experience except unlike the official app, had a working video player, loaded posts correctly, and the amount of ads was astonishing low in comparison. My jaw just dropped realising what I was missing out on, everything just worked.
I'm just going to venture a guess now that at the completion of this event, they're not going to have the usual video progression montage that they have done in years past. There would be far too many hard cuts for it to be as sterile as they'd like while still showing the progress through the event.
