    Hey look, a fellow boost refuge.

    What I’d actually rather do is have all of reddit pay devs of a federated platform like this one or similar a small amount to have a platform without ads.

      I use(d) and love boost! I mostly based the ui in jerboa after it, because it’s so beautiful.

      Shame it’s always been closed source.

        Just deleted reddit and moved here. Jerboa is clean as fuck. Minor improvements here/there but the fact that its open source cancels that all out. Hell I might even contribute myself

          Thanks! I could def use more dev help on it, as I’m spread very thin.

          Its had other contributers, but none of them have stuck around.

        No wonder I felt right at home as soon as I changed the feed layout to small cards (to better match my Boost preference). You’ve done a fantastic job reproducing the feeling of Boost!

      As a fellow boost user, it’s sad to see us here! If Reddit really is going that way, hope the boost fev makes a Lemmy app…

        I did base jerboa’s UI off of boost, because it’s my fav reddit app also.

          Enjoying jerboa so far, a couple bugs but despite being so new it’s even more stable than Reddit’s official app. Thanks for your hard work.
