    Used Boost for the other site, and also for Lemmy. Idk if it’s just Samsung phones, but whether post content, especially videos or gifs, loaded was a crapshoot. There were entire instances that won’t load a single post, and had similar behavior for subs on the other site. Spoilers didn’t work, links and formatting got messed up frequently, it was just an ever-growing list of small things that slightly annoyed me individually, but became ridiculous all at once It got so bad that I switched to Sync. I prefer Boost’s UI, but unless they fix things in a way that works for Galaxy, it’s gonna be a hard pass for me

    Boost is nice but I can’t deal with the lack of swipe gesture actions at this point in time. No other app has been a perfect substitute for Sync but after trying basically all of them I find Summit to be both the best right now but more importantly - the most promising for the future. Very active dev who is responsive and accommodating user requests.

    I haven’t tried Boost, but I swapped over to Summit and have been pleased with the experience. The thing I liked most about Sync was the amount of customization; Summit fills that space quite well.

    +1. Been using Boost since Jeroba went through rough times. I’ve really enjoyed it, especially the handy feature that lets me filter all posts containing specific words.

    Don’t see how its better than sync. Just looks like less features.

    My problem with boost is it’s double column layout sucks for readability. It’s great for images, but text based posts are too cramped up.

    I err to eternity over boost because of that.
