Lemmy does feel like reddit now. (lemmy.world)

I tried all the clients that are out there and no matter good they felt alien as I was accustomed to using Boost on Reddit. Now that the lemmy client has come, it's like I'm using reddit now. The only thing that bugs me is most communities didn't move from reddit and I'd have to continue using the official shitty app to engage with them.

Also I wanna know whether this one time payment would be all to access all the features or does the dev intend to go the sync route and offer something like ultra tier?

You can still use the old Boost for Reddit app. You just have to be a mod. If you're not yet a mod you can just create a new subreddit and set it to private. You can also spoof the client with the Revanced app.

Wdym by beinga mod? I know about spoofing with revanced but it looked complicated so didn't try.

Just create a subreddit. You'll have to use the awful official app once more for that but it'll be the last time.

Ty it works. Hope reddit doesn't ban me for doing this.

i hope Reddit does ban me actually

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Haha that'd be for a good cause.

Somehow the app works for me without being a mod or using the patch.

I'm not a mod anymore either but it still works, I assume you just have to have been a mod at some point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was for a couple of months, now that you mention it.

well thanks for confirming my theory :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You as well for making me remember that I was a mod at some point haha

Omg so THATS why Boost is still working for me...! I thought I was the only one, through some unbelievably fortuitous glitch in the matrix, and I've been keeping my mouth shut about it so that I wouldn't jinx it 🤣

I must admit it's hard for me to give up Reddit and fully transition to Lemmy when my experience on Reddit has been completely unaffected due to the ModBoost effect. I'm keeping one foot in each door because not all of my favourite subs have migrated (yet) and I do think what's happening here is honestly pretty special, it reminds me of the golden days of the internet before everything went to shit.

Thanks for the info friend!

I'm saying that, I just this moment got Boost for Lemmy which I'm sure will be a massive turning point! Can't believe how slick it's running already. Boost devs I salute you 🫡 🙏
