Was wondering if anybody had any news about Boost’s arrival to the Lemmy scene, or if anybody knew of any way to get news about Boost.

    Nothing was said before the API was going dark, and nothing has been said since then. The lack of communication is driving me towards sync for lemmy instead.

    I get that it’s a side project, but updates to your community take very little effort.

      Guess you’re finally in luck.

      Rubén created and maintained Boost for Reddit as a single dev as far as I know, and I would assume he’s doing the same for Lemmy. I don’t think he was ever frequently communicating on Reddit either, only now and then. Plus, he wasn’t going to create a Lemmy version of Boost initially, so it really hasn’t been in development long.

      You just have to be a little patient.

      As far as I know boost is made by a solo dev and depending on the person updates can be a lot of effort especially updating a crowd of impatient people.
