Early Access: Become a tester for Boost for Lemmy and share your feedback 🚀

🎉🚀

Now that's a seamless switch between platforms!

Ad-free already purchased!

How do I hide, or limit the height of images people embed into their comments such as this one, in Boost?
This image is huge for example, and ideally I just want a small version I can tap to expand, and not have to scroll past this whole thing (plus it seems like it's cropped on the sides, only showing half a phone screen on either side - or maybe that's the full image I don't know?).
Thanks!!
- That's probably something Rubén needs to handle. I didn't realize it would come out this huge lol. That's why we're bug testing this!
- Wow, you're right.
  For comparison.
  Sync:
  Boost:
One feature that'd be nice to have is the ability to add other instances as guest accounts.
Needed to change the icon colour to help differentiate the apps 👌
- Yeah I switched the Reddit one to greyscale right after.
- Why keep the old one installed at all? Surely it doesn't work since they disabled the API, as absolutely fantastic as it was, now it's just a dead app taking up disk space.
Quick question. I thought Reddit's API price debacle (the entire reason I'm here instead) forced Boost for Reddit to shut down, or at the very least charge a high price. I'm surprised to see it still working. What exactly is going on?
- Custom API keys

Babe wake up, Boost for Lemmy just dropped

How would you like us to report bugs? Create a post in the community?

You can reply to this post, or create a post in the community if it is a more detailed bug report. Whatever you want!

Can you explain the data collection usage on Google play store?

Yeah this honestly makes me hesitant to download idk why there are so many data sharing permissions. Maybe they're default?
- In my experience veta aps usually have more, to collect statistics, crashes, and things like that. Once tha app is stable usually It need less collecting but I can be wrong to

I just installed the app and so far it's working pretty well, though if I'm being honest, I am definitely a little concerned by all the baked-in tracking.

In terms of features I'd be interested in seeing there are three that come to mind:

Community icons in compact/ dense views. While Lemmy is still in its infancy, I have to browse c/All most of the time and being able to visually see the community the post is coming for is definitely helpful for browsing.
Multiple accounts in one feed. In my opinion, this is one thing that Lift-off has over every different Lemmy app. With so many instances with varying levels of federation, I find being able to browse all my accounts at once to be a very convenient feature.
Being able to download to an SD card. I know SD cards are a dying breed, so this is probably low priority for you, but as someone with very low internal storage; but a very large SD card, it's always a welcome feature when I can find it.

Overall I would say this app already shows a significant amount of polish. Hopefully the development can continue even further.

Random NSFW isn't working...

Or so I've heard...

I think that was a reddit specific function.
- Sync for lemmy has it working
I can't even find the button for this....... haha
- Advanced settings>search. Or so I've heard.
Funny, but true....or so I've heard

Let's go! 🚀

Same! I paid for the app as soon as I got it installed. I used Boost for reddit for years and loved it. It looks great so far!

It's gorgeous. Just as I remember. Like it was never taken from us. I was trying out a couple other apps while waiting for the beta and I immediately uninstalled both of those and removed ads for Boost. It's a really well designed app in all aspects. Thanks Rubén!

Yeah me too!!!

Does buying ad free disable usage data sharing with the ad networks?

Great question! I'd love to know this as well
I don't know but am curious--honestly I bought the app just to support the developer.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Can't login due to 2FA!

Other than that..the fact that I was able to export my Boost For Reddit settings and import them for Lemmy is just perfect 🥹🥹🥹

Oh! and now we get picture previews in the comments! Hooray!

The absolute madman...to not have to start over on settings, legend!
Woah excellent idea!
@rmayayo@lemmy.world any issues (present or future) that could come up doing this?

Its so nice to have Boost back! Thanks so much for all your hard work, Im so very appreciative!

Btw, brand new comments are showing as 9 hours old, my own included. I'm in Japan, on a Samsung S23, let me know if there is any debug info I can give.

Thanks again!

There was a problem with timezones missing when formatting the time. Fixed for the next beta, thanks for reporting!
- Thank you so much!! For everything! For making this app for reddit, and then remaking it for here, and for taking the time to see my comment, and fixing the issue! I am so very appreciative of all the work you've put into it, I can't imagine how involved a project like this must be. You've done such a great job. It is so nice to be back on Boost again!
This comment might get swallowed up. Comment in a bug or make your own post to get more attention :)

Hello :) I love it so much! Haven't realised how much I missed this interface!

Ist there any chance to integrate mod-tools

Just downloaded it and I am honestly so happy

Another post on here said it feels like home

And it really does and I love it so much

I feel like now lemmy can 100% fill the void that reddit left

I'll let you know how it works once I can log in. Right now, TOTP doesn't seem to be supported so there's no way for me to complete authentication.

There was a bug showing the totp field. Fixed for the next beta.
- I saw on another comment you left. I appreciate your effort developing Boost into a Lemmy client so I'll be nice and patient in the meantime.
That's weird. I have 2FA (it always prompts on the website) but I was able to log in without putting in my token (unless my 1password autofill automatically took it behind that scenes?)
- if you can login without your token that's a pretty serious security flaw on lemmy's end
- I'm not sure, I use Bitwarden and did an auto-fill, and also got the missing totp token error message sadly.

I feel right at home. Thank you!

Oh fuck. If Boost shows up for Lemmy, I may have to join Lemmy instead...I fuck with Boost HARD

Bro Boost for Lemmy is here. Join the beta. Become one with the borg. Assimilate.
JK you do you. Kbin's cool too.
Same. Waiting for a kbin app.
- Oh man, use the kbin.social web app. It's good. The only Boost functionality that I really really missed was the ability to hide read posts.
  It looks like kbin.social isn't supported as an instance on Boost for Lemmy? So I just signed up on startrek.website with my same kbin.social username so I could check it out, and so far it's great
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzvY1OzoDbQ
- I can't yet. I mod two functionally dead mags that I'm trying to keep going. It's just small populations, and from Reddit, it seemed either no one jumped over OR they just don't care enough to find the community here. One did well to have 1 post a day in Reddit that wasn't spam. The other was pretty active, but it's a niche game so.
  When it comes out, I'll probably wait until cross-mod comes out. Or I'll just keep an eye on it from Lemmy and mod from kbin as needed.

Ah! Finally, Boost is back!

Thank you Ruben

Just launched the Rocket, ad free now

Edit: it's already the best Lemmy client avaliable

Hi, missed you a lot since Reddit's demise.

Can we do this without having a google account?

Thanks

I've been happy with Sync but more polished competition is a good thing. First thing that bothers me here though is seeing total "karma" counts on my profile. That's not something I want to see.

The viewable list of user uploaded images is a great feature though and one I hope to see replicated.

I agree, the karma count was not something that I wanted to see either.
- So prominent too. I really liked that lemmy didn't show that to you and then almost every app decided to add it up front and centre.
  I check my profile because I want to know how my posts and comments are being received individually but have no desire to see a total.

Replying with Boost for Lemmy and immediately paid for ad free! Happy to make occasional donations for my favorite app

Who'd be a Dev!...the feature requests already rolling in....🤦🏻‍♂️😅

It's very smooth. I've not found lemmy apps this smooth other than Sync. So, I can say, we have a worthy contender.

Same

Love it and ads removed. Enjoy your coffee!

I've never clicked a link so fast

Instantly bought the ad free. Love boost
- Same, I'm glad it's back.
Media upload works great!

Really good so far, but can we get back the old "Hide read posts" option back? It was really a handful when I was using Boost for Reddit.

first comment from boost for me! thanks for the great work <3

Bought.. I'd forgot what I was missing. It's like a warm hug.

Thanks (can't wait to launch the rocket ;))

The only thing I'd point out is that downvotes are disabled on my instance so it would be nice to hide the downvotes in the app but that's a minor nitpick. Also I don't think it prompted me to put in my 2FA code when I logged on.

Comment made on boost for lemmy

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.

Yeah, that was an immediate payment. So freaking happy! I missed AMOLED and colored lines.
Same here, I don't think I ever bought a premium app faster. Bought it before even changing any settings. Boosted the rocket once and still only paid a fraction of what Sync is asking. And it's the far better app already, no-brainer.

Feels good to be home.

Am I doing something wrong when Im not able to download the app in the store? Says "coming soon", I applied to be a tester. But can't download the app. On Android

I encountered the same. What I did to fix it was back out after becoming a tester and go back in.
- Thank you, that did the trick indeed

Does the login support TOTP tokens? It says I didn't submit one but there wasn't an option to.

There was a bug showing the totp field when required. Fixed for the next beta.
- Nice, thanks.

Beyond delighted. Feels like coming home! Rocket launched 🙂

I got it and had a bit of a hard time getting in the beta. But I got in, and I'm loving it. So much that I sent up the no ads payment. Didn't really see any, and I hope I don't, but I just wanted to say I appreciate the dev and wanted to show support. Thanks again for being here, loved it for Reddit, really love it again that's it's in Lemmy!

I'm finally home. Already got ad-free

It is lovely to be back on boost! :) I did miss it an awful lot :) It's exactly as I remembered, once AMOLED dark mode and theming are there, I couldn't think of a feature I'd want :)

Adfree bought! :)

I opted out of the GDPR stuff (I'm in the UK) and am Ad-free, is that all that's needed to get the Amazon tracking stuff out the equation for me?

Settings -> Theme -> Customize Colors -> Amoled Black
Settings -> Theme -> Customize Colors - Saved Themes -> Black Amoled
- Ah that's interesting! Customize colours is greyed out for me - possibly because I've not managed to find my boost settings from Reddit? :)
  Thanks for letting me know it's already there, that's awesome :)
- That's awesome. Thanks for the hint.
AMOLED black is already there. Click into Theme then color (wording might be off)
Seconded on AMOLED, otherwise perfect so far! I didn't realize how much I missed Boost
- It's already there
Will the ad free carry over to the public release?
- I couldn't say 100%, but I only ever paid once on Reddit boost - then I just fired rockets every now and then :)

Oh thank God, I can finally get rid of Sync. 🍻

My thought exactly! It was ok while it lasted, but finally, I'm where I want to be! Thank the Lord.

Awesome stuff, so much better than I expected for an initial release.

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?

No, you'll have to pay per API interaction on the full launch. 😊

Home

Time to go back home!

Just installed this and loving it already.

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

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

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.

Awesome job dev

Happy to see you are on Lemmy too!
- Of course, friend, been waiting patiently for this release.

Already using it, and it's beautiful 🥹

very good. the app support widget like the old one. this is first lemmy app with widget. Kudos to dev

Widgets might have some bugs, let me know if you spot something!
- thanks and it is very good like the old version. But unlike the previous Boost, the push notification does not worked.

Thanks a lot, downloaded and already unlocked the ad free version. Feels right at home after many years of using Boost for Reddit.

The only thing I've found so far is that GIF preview on the card view don't adapt to the full width of the card so they look tiny.

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

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.

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

Same, the first thing I checked was how much it cost to remove ads
Was reasonable enough to go for it

Is there any launch date on beta release?

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.

I believe viewing voted posts is not available in Lemmy API
- That's disappointing. The only reason I thought that might not be the case is because when I installed Boost and linked my accounts for the first time I was able to scroll through my home feed and see my upvoted posts made in a different app. Maybe the Boost app can keep track of upvotes and downvotes made within the app somehow as a special feature?

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

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.

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

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

2FA should be fixed for the next beta

When someone replies to your comments, you get a notification. But clicking the notification takes you to the 'mentions' tab, instead of the 'replies' tab

Thanks for the app but can you add support for 2FA please? @rmayayo@lemmy.world

Yes, fixed for the next beta. Thanks!

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

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

Thank you for making ad-free affordable ♥️

Youtube links default configuration is to open in the external app, but it still seems to try to load internally when clicking thumbnail or link in a comment (opens externally from main link though), and gets stuck on spinner (something to do with preroll ad in video?)

My first comment from boost yoooo.

My first comment on Lemmy and it's via Boost 😊
- Nice

I've never used Boost before and it's auto downloaded today. I'm so happy to try it. Looks great so far.

Thank you. I am trying it out right now and it feels great.

Would it be possible to add the number of posts in the search results next to the number of members when searching for a new sub? It just so happens that many subs are created but content is missing. So it would be nice to know in advance how much content is there before clicking it.

Also would it be possible to retain the search results? Whenever I click on an empty sub and go back, the search results have been purged and I need to start a new search. Quite annoying if you are trying to find me subs.

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

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!

Nice, congratulations on the Beta!

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

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 :-)

Done! How/where do you prefer feedback?

I've been using Sync while waiting for Boost and I've come to really like the feature that allows you to upvote posts by slightly swiping left on the post. Would love to see that adopted by boost!

Immediate feedback is that it does not allow login with 2FA (TOTP) yet => "missing totp token".
Install beta 1.0.1 and let me know if it is fixed.

It's slick as ay?

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

Tried installing the app as a tester, but I get a message telling me that google purchases are not available in my country.

Can I ask the country?
- I don't stay at US but my play store country is US

I'm home 🥲 thanks so much, already launched the rocket

Switching view does not seem to work without relaunching the app.

Still have this issue? Works for me.

Finally feeling right at home, the only thing I noticed is that images load faster than other clients, thanks for that!

Managed to export my old settings from the Reddit app, and importing it just works flawlessly! Thank you so much Rubén! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)

Great news!

When I tap on a linked community, it opens in webview/browser rather than within the app

Just autodownloaded and so glad to be back to a familiar interface

I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!

Looks great so far! Already paid for it. Looking forward to the honing of everything.

I really need a "hide read post" option 😺

Hide read was a Reddit feature. In Lemmy, you can mark a post as read, then disable "Show read posts" on your account preferences.
- Thank you! It's in "account preferences." I didn't see it in there. That's exactly what I was looking for
Edit: found how to fix this in "account preferences"
Mine hide in the short term when I "Mark as Read" (you can turn on the "Mark as Read" checkmark button in post settings). But the marked as read/hidden status isn't holding over, if I navigate away from the page I was on. So every time I navigate to All, I'm seeing the same posts I just marked as read a couple minutes ago

I missed your app @rmayayo . My home screen just didn't look right without boost

Awesome. Congrats!

This is awesome! Here is my feedback so far:

I was able to log in under a test account, but not this one yet due to the lack of an Authenticator TOTP field at login. I look forward to that feature and testing more extensively.

Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.

The UI looks freaking awesome 👍😎. Thanks for creating this!

Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.
Do you use some autofill app or the Android default?
- Android default.

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!

Now this is what I've been waiting for! -- posted from Boost for Lemmy

It's been a long road. I'm looking forward to getting the boost experience again.

It's great to have boost back!

So thankful for your hard work bringing Boost to Lemmy. Everything feels "back to normal" now.

Edit: just bought it.

Oh yes, like coming back home.

Thank you so much for this app! Was my favorite for reddit and soo happy that lemmy gets one now!

Its so nice being back tho this ui!

Hi! When I try to add a second account (in fact this account that I am posting from now), I always get an "incorrect login" error. I have triple checked that the login information is correct -- also I can log into this account on other lemmy apps and on desktop. If it helps, the first account I have logged into using Boost is on a different instance than the second account.

Anyway, I want to also say thank you, Ruben! I loved Boost for Reddit and I am loving Boost for Lemmy!

Is this app going to be open source? Because I had a bad experience with another Lemmy app recently stuffed full of trackers that I really don't want to repeat.

Edit: never mind, I just saw in another thread that it's not, so it's not for me.

Which app is that? So we know to avoid it.
- Summit.

I used to use Boost for Reddit and I will give this a try!

I'm currently getting an error about missing my TOTP token. Have you implemented 2-factor authentication support?

It was implemented but there is a bug preventing the field to show up. Fixed for the next beta. Thanks!
- No problem, I look forward to trying it. Thanks for continuing development, Boost was my favorite Reddit app!
Same issue here. Surprised more people don't have totp enabled.

It's amazing how much it feels like boost for Reddit. Thanks!

This feels so good. Like putting on those old jeans and finding out that despite it being a decade old, it still fits you.

Testing it now! So far so good!

Hello!! Loving what I see so far!! Question: Is there any way you can create folders to organize communities into? Thanx

Personalized feed is not working. It keeps loading forever.

How did you get to that screen? That was a reddit feature not available in Lemmy. There must be an option left somewhere in the app
- Here, using the middle button of the bar below

It's good to be back!

Woohoooo

So many layout options lol.

Looks really great so far!

I grabbed the testing version because I'm very excited for Boost to return! Unfortunately I found an issue right away. It appears that the app doesn't support 2FA for instances that use it. I got an error stating "missing totp token."

Yep, a bug showing the field when required. Fixed for the next beta
- Awesome, thanks! 😄

The Google Play beta process was a real pain, but I'm so glad to be back.

Yay, it's here! My notes so far:

When I tap a comment in my replies, it takes me straight to replying to it. It'd be great if it took me to the comment in context under the post so I can upvote, downvote, reply etc rather than just reply.

I'm getting errors trying to upload images that I took with my phone camera, presumably because they're large. I'm able to upload them in Voyager, but it'd be awesome to be able to do it all from Boost.

A feature I really like from LiftOff is the ability to crop images before I upload them, could this be added?

Thank you :)

When I tap a comment in my replies, it takes me straight to replying to it.
That was a bug, fixed!
It'd be great if it took me to the comment in context under the post so I can upvote, downvote, reply etc rather than just reply.
That was the expected behavior
- Thanks so much! :)

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

There's this general problem:

My password was too long for Sync and Voyager and now also Boost; I've been using Jerboa since it worked in that client.

Since Boost also had the issue I changed my password to a shorter one.

The old one was something like

        Friday-Ramble-Patriot-Apricot5-Tractor-Litigator-Shove-Antivirus

... and the new one is shorter and is causing no issues.

Thanks, I will try that case
- I can confirm that very long passwords do not work. I use a password manager with randomly generated 64-character passwords (or 32-character when 64 is not supported) and I cannot log in to either of the lemmy instances I use from within boost. Login works fine on their webui of course
  Thanks for all your hard work!

Posting from Boost, already using it so much more the 3 previous apps I had (Jerboa, Voyager and can't remember). Feels like home. Thanks so much.

Looks great!

It's good to be back! This might just be my having missed a setting, but my system navigation bar has a white background even with the OLED dark mode active here. Aside from that, flawless so far!

Yep, I'm just silly. Colored navigation bar, right there in theme settings. Easy to find with a search in the settings :)

Wife is getting this error when navigating to the download page from the "You are a Tester" page. It loads a Google Play page with the download button, then gives this error. Opening the Play app doesn't give her the download button. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

After joining the beta, it might take a while to show up in Play Store listing.
- Got it sorted, thanks!

Can you reduce the contrast of these lines

I'm here 😁

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

Looks promising. So excited!

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

Amazing work

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

I'm trying this. Is very smooth!

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

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?

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

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 @rmayayo@lemmy.world (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! 🚀

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.

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.

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

😙👌

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

I have never used boost for Reddit but I am posting from it right now and first impressions are IT IS AWESOME! An easy ad free purchase from me!

Only issue I'm having is random timeouts, but I think that just a lemmy thing in general. Nice app

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

Not sure if it's Boost or YouTube Revanced at fault but got the following error when I tried to open a Lemmy link to a video: https://postimg.cc/q6sW77x0

Also, the sign-up journey is a bit confused. Clicking sign up takes me to joinlemmy, which then just lands me on a home page for whichever instance I click. Might be more user friendly to prompt for a choice of instance and take them directly to that instance's sign up page. And maybe have a button for "not sure? Explore here" or something similar that would take you to joinlemmy

That was an known issue in the last Reddit build. Something related to YouTube API changes for the embedded player. Maybe it'll be fixed, but in the meantime, the dev said you just have to select "Always" to always be redirected to the YouTube full app.
Being taken to the instance that just selected makes pretty firm logical sense to me, personally. Is the sign up process/path uniform across all instances?
- The few I checked were, but not sure if the path is defined as part of the Lemmy protocol.

Is there an option for the comments where I can just long-press to select and copy text instead of needing to go into a copy menu and then using the select text option? That can be bit tedious, and I typically copy most longer comments and send them to my voice-aloud app for TTS. It's definitely the main feature I miss about the old RIF app - easy text selection and perfect Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support.

A minor ui glitch(?)

When scrolling through posts I noticed that occasionally the post summary would slightly scroll up cropping the first line in the summary.

After playing with it for a few minutes, I can reproduce the behavior by pressing on the summary, holding the press and dragging left or right, continuing to hold the press and dragging up or down.

It seems I tend to scroll with a slight diagonal motion instead of a pure up and down motion.

Screen shots showing the glitch: The post in godot@programming.dev, the "hey guys..." line gets scrolled off screen with the "diagonal scroll motion"

Normal post look

Glitched look

Looking forward to trying this! I'm unable to log in on this account currently as there isn't a TOTP field :)

Fixed for the next beta

Is is possible to opt out from comments notification on own posts? I didn't find the checkbox as I used to have in the old reddit app.

Thank you! you have done an amazing job! 🌷 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! 🌷

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

Wondering if you plan to add swipe left from the right side of the phone to go back to the last/prior comment page

Thank you very much! I used Boost for Reddit, which was amazing, and I didn't use any app for Lemmy until this was released.

Is it possible to get an amoled dark theme? Thanks for all your hard work!

If you have dark mode enabled in your android display settings then you can use the dynamic color option in boost to inherit amoled black from there.

It looks like the "c" community links aren't working. Like this:

.

The Trending Communities posts are full of these if you need more examples (

).

Edit: weird, my comment links aren't working. They're showing as normal text for me, but when you go to copy, select text, you can see that they're hyperlinks.

Just got it installed and set up! Looks great!

If I had one complaint it would be that mod tools are missing. :( Or if they are there, I can't find them. :)

This look great! Was struggling with Jerboa for the last few days. I gave up and got into Tildes instead!!

This feels familiar!! 👍 Awesome

Loving it so far! I'm glad Boost is back! I have one problem, though! I'd love to pay to remove the ads but when I press Remove Ads I get a screen with a blue background and "Remove Ads" right in the middle of the screen but there doesn't seem to be a way to actually pay to have the ads removed!

Other than that, it works really well. Feels very responsive, too!

Very nice. Within five minutes of using it I've removed other Lemmy apps from my phone.

It would be nice to have something that guides you through finding communities in other servers as I don't feel like I'm seeing them all.

Browsing the list of communities from an instance will be added soon

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

error on uploading any image of any dimensions in any sublemmy.
can't see the videos, not in preview Mode, nor in full-screen Mode.

What can i/we do?

When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90⁰ counter-clockwise.

This has been a very good idea!

Loving the app! I'm having trouble swiping away media. It doesn't feel sensitive enough and usually takes me several swipes. I've enabled the tap to close which works amazingly but muscle memory wants to swipe.

Recommendation/Hope: it would be amazing to have a media peek where I can tap and hold on a thumbnail and it enlarges the picture. Awesome app, thanks!

I don't know if it has been posted. After try many lemmy client its end to sync and boost.

But compared both apps there is one difference that I feel, scrolling performance is better on sync. On boost feel little bit lag/stutter.

Else just customization like other comments mentioned.

I hope it will be fixed in next build.

Thanks for build great apps. 👍

It's a great start!

Images are able to be posted in comments. Ability to press and make them bigger would be useful.

Understood would be difficult with the press to collapse feature.

would.

can't login to my instanse. nor another.

am not making a new login.

Should old boost users who have paid for boost for reddit, get the premium by default??

New work=new cost.

Wooooooooo! Screw the ads though. You shouldn't be profiteering off a free project for NO reason. Scummy. I am adblocking them already.

Idiot. Devs have to eat too. He has clearly been working on this for months. He deserves pay like all jobs. I'll gladly pay like I did for boost for reddit.
- Asshat and buffoon. Voyager for lemmy and Liftoff and many more clients do not have ads and are FINE
By your logic, all those open source companies (e.g. linux-based like canonical, redhat etc) shouldn't even exist. I wonder how they are even going to survive if they can't get somekind of monetary returns.
- Donations. If Wikipedia can get by on donations, so can a small app.
I have an ad blocker too, but I still paid.
- Cool.
