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!

Thank you. Ad free purchased! Keep up the good work

It just gives me an error when i try to download it. "Google play payments are not supported in your country. I'm in Germany

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For some reason I'm unable to pay to remove ads but I believe it might be a Google issue. Loving the app so far though!

Feels like home, have used Boost for absolutely years, so glad it's here for Lemmy now too

Hey all, I may be missing something obvious, but is it possible to add an account for an instance not in the pre-made list?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I would love to know this too.

Edit: yes, you can. Just type in the URL yourself in the instance box. No need to select from the list.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I typed the full URL and it just told me it failed. Hmm...

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Works great. It really feels like I'm using Boost for Reddit. Thank you mate, ad-free version purchased :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When I press install it wants me to enter my password. When I'm back to press Install nothing happens. Whaaat.

Edit: works after about 45min. Patience ain't easy.

Edit2: You mean I can remove ads in this beautiful piece of work of an app for a normal price? Guess what! I paid! Nice work!

Thanks @[email protected] (testing how I can mention at users in Lemmy lol). Loved the app before, and this reincarnation is why I'm even in Lemmy right now in the first place. Already bought ad-free and also put some extra fuel in the rocket! ๐Ÿš€

Edit: testing mention again, since I didn't see it become a link in my comment: @rmayayo

Is there a setting to show seperate upvote/downvote counts? I'd prefer that over the "net" score which reminds me of r*ddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I sort by only gifs, pictures, or text? It was an option for the reddit version but I can't find how to do it on this new version for Lemmy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That option was disabled for Lemmy. Maybe it returns in the future.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm trying this. Is very smooth!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My experience with the app has been amazing so far. It actually works far better than the official lemmy.world website

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So far it feels solid to me. Thanks so much for your hard work

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I also can't seem to press and hold on taps for images when in the full-exapanded screen

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90โฐ counter-clockwise.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! you have done an amazing job! ๐ŸŒท bought the app right away. Not a bug but a question / request : will you implement a 'History' tab in the sidebar, like there was in boost for reddit? I find it very useful having the ability to scroll through posts I've viewed but not saved.. especially after nights my mind wasn't so clear.. Thanks again rmayayo! ๐ŸŒท

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm excited to switch over and will definitely report any wonkiness.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's great, I bought ad free just for your efforts. But 2 problems so far:

  1. error on uploading any image of any dimensions in any sublemmy.

  2. can't see the videos, not in preview Mode, nor in full-screen Mode.

What can i/we do?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing work

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah! Thanks for the great Work. Btw. Rndnsfw is Not working ;)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This has been a very good idea!
