Reddit refugee here. Using Boost for Lemmy on Android.

  1. It is VERY difficult to find interesting communities from within the Boost UX. No “You may be interested in” suggestions are thrown. I used a website to find the Reddit equivalent of some communities. But certain ones not on lemmy instances could not be added using Boost.

  2. No infinite scroll/doom scroll. The number of posts peters out even though I am subscribed to maybe 5 dozen communities.

    Thanks for using Boost 🚀🚀😍

    Lemmy does not have a “search by topic” feature, but you can open the left side menu, tap communities and browse/search communities by keyword in local/all instances.

    No infinite scroll

    That’s a Lemmy thing. The number of posts received depends on the activity of the communities and the sort being used. The app does have infinite scroll, but until the API stops returning more posts.
