Hear me out: Infinity for Lemmy
/u/whupazz is working on a reddit compatible api for lemmy, meaning most 3rd party apps should work with little or no modification. See it working with RedReader already: https://imgur.com/a/IF5HYGz

Could this mean Apollo for Lemmy 😍
Whoa that’s pretty cool. Thanks for the link
I wish!! I love Infinity.
Only one of them has a quintillion dollars to spend on making their shit look good. I’m less forgiving of that one.
BoostForLemmy? 👉👈
The dev of Jerboa based it off of Boost for Reddit. The only way you would get an exact copy is if the dev of boost decided to move over to Lemmy. Doubtful, but possible.
I was about to say to the post as a whole “eh, its not that bad, idk what you’re talking about”, and then saw this, I actually used boost for like 4 years lol
Boost is great! A lot of the 3rd party apps are lovingly made. Stinks that Reddit decided money was more important than a user-base. But now we have Lemmy, which hopefully won’t even be able to be like that.
I just got into lemmy, can’t imagine using reddit without boost, jeroba feels very similar to boost except for having very little customisations(the font size in the comments is bugging me a bit), but I think with time it’ll improve.
There’s an open PR that’ll fix the font size issue. I’m using it now and it’s great. I’m also personally working on trying to add my personal must-have UI options from Boost.
Big if true. Would make my dreams come true.
That would be absolutely splendid. Although i have to say i’m extremely impressed by the website UI. It’s super fast and way better than most websites i’ve used recently.
Probably because it doesn’t load a bunch of trash along with the content.
Haha seriously tho now it seems we’re getting a few more developer contributions, so hopefully its UX can improve.

Thank you so much for your work on the app, leaving this comment with it as we speak.
No probs!
Yeah hopefully it becomes better. The biggest problem for me so far is the choppy scrolling.
I’d love for Jerboa to be more like Boost, which I’ve been using for years.
