I do get the “distributed” nature of networks and the underlying philosophy, but only if there’s a common interface where lemmy/mastodon or other similar network created accounts can be used seamlessly in addition to the current behavior.

Wohooo!!! Favourite app!
I saw that "subreddit" was changed to "communties" in the app recently so I was quite certain that a version for Lemmy is being at least experimented with.
I thought Rubén said he was going to move onto smaller apps instead of making a Lemmy app?
Regardless, I'm glad this is happening!
I'm sure I read that as well. Hopefully he's had a think and decided that a Lemmy app would be really worthwhile. Excited to see what he creates, as I've used Boost for years and thought it was awesome.
Yes! This is the proper response to Reddit's API changes.
Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.
Great news! Love seeing the Lemmyverse continue to expand!
Just pre-registered. Boost for Lemmy would be awesome
will* :)
This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I've been using boost for years, and I really can't wait.
Dude don't posts screen shots. i kept trying to press back on your image.

Preregistered.
I'm a sync guy but this news has me so excited. I will try Boost for Lemmy when it comes out and likely support it anyways.
I used Boost to browse reddit. I'm definitely getting this when it's out.
Hell yeah, Boost rules
OMG, cannot wait for this.
No waaaaay! The dev said it's not happening, I'm so glad to see he's actually doing it!
Well I'm buying it once it releases.
This won't be pirated mateys, my gold awaits the dev
I fucking knew it, in one of the last updates in the menu it went from "find subreddit" to "find community"
Awesome, used to use the reddit version and really liked it, switched from the official app and never looked back. Excited to try it out when it releases (also this is my first comment on lemmy, been lurking for a week or so but I think it's time I start interacting)
Yes! Boost was my favorite.
I am super duper excited!
Fantastic news. This'll really scratch the itch.
This is a game changer
Android users desperately need a better app for browsing Lemmy than Jerboa. Boost and Sync may just be that app.

Seeing all these new Lemmy apps popping up.. such a nice view
I have used Boost for so many time before I Switch to Joey but maybe the time use this app again.
I never used Boost for Reddit, but with this many people singing it's praises... ***BOOST FOR LEMMY, LET'S GOOO! *** Sorry, Connect. You're still cool tho
