Everything is better now

Thanks Liftoff for helping me hold out for awhile

For me it has been Voyager, which was the closest option until today. I wonder if Boost renders this spoiler tags correctly?

spoilerVoyager never did show it and instead showed the raw. Markdown

Edit: I guess not ๐Ÿ˜”

Yeah dude, sign up quick

[โ€“] packetloss@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It took all of a couple of minutes for the download option to show for me.

[โ€“] idealotus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Boo. I still get the pre-registration page. I signed up a while ago, so maybe not out everywhere?

I did too, what I had to do was unregister, close the play store and click in the link again.

Posting this from Boost woohoo

Same here. I wonder if it's also regional or depends on your phone/android version?

I signed up a couple of months ago. In United Kingdom. Android 13/OnePlus.

Saw your post, went and clicked said link and was able to download immediately! In fact, commenting this from the beautiful boost :)

Feels good to be back on Boost

[โ€“] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It's so good!

[โ€“] Pyroglyph@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It'll feel good to uninstall the 3 Lemmy apps I've been switching between to tide me over until this day.
Hopefully everything "just works" exactly how it used to :)

There seems to be some misunderstanding here. The text marked in the screenshot is if you move from the beta version back to the public (stable) version.

Getting into the beta for a new app is nearly instant and allows you to install it right away.

[โ€“] Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

It was basically instant for me lol.

I saw it neither in play store after getting access. But I switched to Aurora Store and installed it immediately.

[โ€“] Haggunenons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just downloaded the aurora store because of this comment and it says "App not supported", I am on a Samsung s23 ultra. The Google play store still says "coming soon". Anywhere else I can try? It doesn't show up at all on f-droid, and I see nothing about it on the Boost website.

This is going to sound stupid but pasting the URL into the Google Play store search worked for me

Thanks. This took me to the boost for lemmy page in the store, but it didn't look any different than just going there the normal way. I've been registed to test it for probably almost 2 months.

Ahh okay now I got the misinformation. You first need the invite screen from op here. AFTER register to this beta it is available.

Follow this first: https://lemmy.world/post/5478381

[โ€“] Haggunenons@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Aha! This was exactly what I needed to hear. I'm in right now, thanks so much for the help! It is so nice to be back!

[โ€“] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Still not showing available for me. :(

[โ€“] SandroHc@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

How does it compare against Sync?

[โ€“] lolreconlol@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

App is great! Too bad lemmy still feels like a ghost town.

[โ€“] Haggunenons@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well at least it is haunted by some pretty cool ghosts ๐Ÿ‘ป

[โ€“] glitches_brew@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

3 up votes on Lemmy hold more value than 3000 would on any other site. This feels like quality, not quantity.

[โ€“] admirdee@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Holy shit.. its good to be back
