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.

Liftoff is very good, I would recommend trying it out.

The only resource for Boost for Lemmy I've seen is the relatively empty Play Store entry.

I'm using liftoff, and it's ok. But, there is a weird situation:

if someone replies to your comment, you get a notification.

If you follow the notification to your inbox, it will show the reply.

But, it shows no context, and there's no way I can find to get any except to manually find your comment, and then their reply.

That's way clunky, and not the kind of thing Boost would do.

The Lemmy apps mostly are just ok (I haven't tried all of them)

Clicking this icon will bring you to the context

I thought that was the crosspost icon, LOL. It still only adds a context button, which you have to press. Seems like it would be better to just open the context when you select the first icon.
