Like many of you, I was anxiously waiting for availability, but it’s finally here. For me, the app is running smooth like the reddit version did. If you have the means, consider the ad remove, and launch a rocket. Thank You Rubén!

    I did the ‘remove ads’ payment option on the beta as a show of thanks, even though I wasn’t seeing any - didn’t see the rocket launching thing until later! I gotta say, so far so good.

    I registered as a beta tester and immediately upon logging in and setting my favorite layout, it felt HOME. Was happy to launch the rocket!

      Same here. Home is exactly the right word. Took me way to long to find boost for Reddit. So glad it’s here for lemmy.

      I have a pixel and don’t want to use a different launcher. I wish that the app icon was a little different.

      Boost with revanced still works although maybe I should just ditch it…

    I wonder if the ads are bugged or if the purchase of boost for Reddit is also valid for boost for Lemmy. I haven’t purchased the version for lemmy yet but still don’t see ads.

        Yeah the app just looks and feels so good that the ad free option was an instant buy for me. Didn’t even scroll before I made purchase. \o/

    5 minutes into it I bought the no ads version. I didn’t knew how much I missed boost until I opened it up again after 4 months.

    This is the fastest I ever paid for an app. This has always been my favorite and one of my most used apps.

    I know that the Lemmy user base is much smaller than Reddit’s and I’m so thankful that Rubén kept the price low and didn’t start charging triple digits like a certain other Reddit-turned-Lemmy-app to compensate. I also launched the rocket and still feel like I got a great deal.

    I sincerely hope this venture will still be profitable and worth Rubén’s time and effort, I’ll keep launching the ticket on occasion to do my part that will be.

    I didn’t see any ad and actually had to search for the option to pay. Finally found it and was happy to 125 THB to support the developer.
