The current icon is exactly the same with boost for reddit. I think it would be nice if boost for lemmy had a (slightly) different icon, like a mirrored version or some changed colors (ex. Green rocket). It would help cause many of us still use the reddit app too. Also it would be easier to understand that this is a different app from the reddit one. :))

What do you mean a second icon?

Also, on Android, you can change Icons for apps to just about whatever you want. I forget how, but I've done it - I just don't bother anymore since I operate by shortcuts.

Using revanced, right? It could also implement a patch for a different icon and name, as is done with youtube etc. Much more likely than current Boost changing icon/name to not be confused with the obsolete Reddit version.

Also if your launcher doesn't support changing icons/names, or hiding apps (so you can hide the original after you create the alternative app icon), you really should look for a different launcher.
