First of all, thank you so much for doing Boost for Lemmy. Boost was what made reddit nice, while their app and web ui went down the drain. I am super happy to now be able to use Boost to access lemmy! The app already seems to be quite solid (haven't seen a bug, yet).
The only minor issue I have is that Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy have the same set of icons and are quite difficult to distinguish:
Though, that can be easily worked around by changing the icon for one of them via settings. Maybe the default icons + a small super imposed logo/mascot of the respective platform would be a nice idea (there might be copyright issues).

I think it only works if you are a community moderator.
Can confirm it works for mods... at least for now
I'm surprised how long that's still been a working option. I made a subreddit with zero activity just to be a mod and keep using Boost.
I guess it's to placate mods in the short term whist they build out their own app. The average redditor is ๐คทโโ๏ธ and moved across to the official app, so 3rd party app usage will be way down. Also means app Devs won't bother to keep developing if it's only a handful of people still using their app so the apps get killed off either way.
