Unsurprisingly, it’s a pretty easy way to restore a near 1:1 experience. Some reddit specific things won’t carry over for obvious reasons, but current theme, media handling settings, etc. can be imported from the Reddit app.
To get there, open the left sidebar, select Settings > Advanced > Backup. On the Reddit side, you’ll select Export and save your settings file locally. On the Lemmy side, select Import and navigate to and select the file you exported from Boost for Reddit. Once done, you’ll really be right back at home.
Is it out yet? I’m on Android and I’m unable to download it. Still says preorder.
If beta testing is available in your region you can sign up for it. I was able to sign up but can’t sign in yet due to a bug with TOTP Rubén is fixing in the next beta release. There should be a link to sign up on one of the recent threads. Might be pinned as an announcement.
EDIT: Confirmed it’s in the post from Rubén that starts with “Early Access”.

Check sticky, you can enroll in the testing group and get it.
I did that, but now I don’t have the view parent button when bringing the comment bar.
That’s such a small thing I would have never noticed. Interesting. Maybe it isn’t as 1:1 as I thought, then. Sorry about that…
For what it’s worth, if you set it to hidden, it’s in the meatball menu within individual comments.
EDIT: FWIW I cleared all app storage on Boost for Lemmy and it was doing the exact same thing.
