I have been with you from your creation now to your grave. You were never really the most popular Reddit app, but you were my Reddit app. I will miss you.

Boost was my app of choice. As with others in the community, I launched the rocket (donated money) to say goodbye. It’s honestly weird and bittersweet, I really like Lemmy but I’m going to miss Boost for Reddit. Fuck u/spez.
I just saw that Boost for Lemmy was announced!
That’s great news! I thought that the dev for Boost wasn’t going to work on a Lemmy version, seeing this in the app store makes me feel a good deal better.
Ugh seeing this message last time I opened the app made me so sad. Baconreader was the major way I used reddit for the past what, decade maybe? The devs really knocked it out the park, it was so full-featured and just such a wonderful user experience. I’ve been hoping they would make a baconreader for Lemmy but I don’t think that’ll happen. I’m using Jerboa and - no offense to the Jerboa devs because I know this is still an early product! - but it’s like downgrading from broadband to the Pony Express.
I’ll miss reddit but I have lemmy now. I actually think I’ll miss baconreader more!
I was having too many problems with Jerboa, so I installed Connect for Lemmy this morning and have been liking it so far. Might want to give it and others a test run to see what you like best.
Same, except I switched to Liftoff. It’s a little hard to find in the Google Play store, but the app itself is great so far!
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out.
I feel sad seeing all of these goodbye posts from these developers that have put so much work into these apps only to have Reddit just spit in their face and not even be willing to negotiate any type of agreement
Are any app developers other than Sync moving to Lemmy? I like that that one will be more of a new beginning than an end.
Infinity for Reddit is being converted to Lemmy.
Is it? Last thing I heard is that they were switching it to subscription only in an effort to try and afford to continue.
Pretty sure I saw something about it…
Baconreader’s final message
No such message from Sync For Reddit, just stopped working this morning (full page pop up advert still came up though).
That’s honestly kinda sad
