Hi Boost gang,

The first version of Boost for Lemmy is almost ready. If you want to test the app for bugs and give feedback before the app is published, follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy to enable an early access option on the Boost for Lemmy Play Store listing.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for your hard work on this! Paid for premium immediately :)

I'd love to see integration for custom emojis, for example accessing Lemmy on the web I am able to type : and then an emoji name and it will autofill emojis from my instance.

Thank you for all your hard work Ruben! The only reason I started using the R site was because of Boost.

I want to support you! I had a question, if I buy the ad removal now, will it also go over to the full version when released?

Just installed this and loving it already.

Will buy first day it is made available for general use.

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Lovely work, Jerboa is nice, but old habits die hard and boost is what I'm used to.

My only complaint is that BankID won't allow me to pay to remove ads, but that's not really the fault of the app.

Can anyone who is a moderator confirm that they don't have access to mod tools? As an admin, I can't see an option for checking out reports, or for a way to ban/purge users. Seems like I still need the Web browser for those things.

Time to go back home!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Is there any launch date on beta release?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

commenting from the testing app right now! thanks for all your work. finally… the void on my home screen can once again be filled by boost :-)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Oh man, we're so close. I've missed Boost terribly.

[–] daBeans 6 points 11 months ago

Thank you for developing this app! Being able to use Boost again has felt like being right at home. Your UI/UX design is just amazing, and I've sorely missed it since Reddit's whole thing happened.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

This is amazing, thank you! I'll be buying ad free the moment I finish this post.

For anyone unable to login due to 2FA: a workaround for now is to login elsewhere, disable 2FA, login to Boost, then re-enable 2FA. Bit of a pain because you get a new token but as long as you don't log out of Boost it appears to stick.

Been waiting for this to arrive after using Boost for Reddit for ages! Looking good so far

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Long time boost reddit user. Feels natural again. Already bought ad free on principle lol. After the whole Sync for Lemmy price gouge fiasco. Like jesus

Where does one give feedback?

Edit: right off the bat the blur for nsfw needs to be a bit more muddled. I like nsfw and stuff and tend to stick to /all so it shows up often. But the blur isn't really doing a food job when it's like just a out of focus naked woman compared to a general sense of shape the other apps ive used hit. There's no plausible deniability lol. And I just need to see red and the title to know not to click gore stuff

It's incredible! It's the perfect Lemmy app already

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Is there a way to see a list of the posts I have upvoted and downvoted like I could with Boost for Reddit or is tracking those metrics limited by the lemmy platform? I have been missing this info in Jerboa and just assumed it would be tracked in Boost for Lemmy.

Awesome! I've been waiting for it since reddit closed.

I'm missing the "mark as read when scrolling" though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How do I log in to an account with 2FA?

Looks great. Suggest that the backup file have a unique name so it is not confused with the Boost for Reddit backup.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

My first comment from boost yoooo.

I used ReVanced Manager to continue using Boost as my Reddit app of choice, so I'm obviously loving the look and feel of this app for Lemmy too. Looks and feels pretty much exactly the same. Great job by the developer!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

You've made my month!! If I spot any issues I shall report them :-)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Thank you for making ad-free affordable β™₯️

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Hi, if I long press the home screen icon to access quick actions like Local or subscribed it launch the app in blank with no content (only the navigation bars). In order to fix this i have to close and launch the app again.

Cheers!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Nice, congratulations on the Beta!
