Hi Lemmy! I've just uploaded a new beta version that adds support for Lemmy 0.19.4 features, this is the changelog:

  • Hide posts: Individual posts can be hidden now. There is Show hidden toggle on the toolbar menu (Lemmy 0.19.4)
  • View previously uploaded images on your profile page, Uploads tab (Lemmy 0.19.4)
  • Add custom thumbnail when creating a link post (Lemmy 0.19.4)
  • Show mod/admin indicators next to usernames in posts and comments
  • Fixed mark as read on scroll not working on some instances
  • Bug fixes and improvements

Thanks for using Lemmy. You're the best!

Weirdly enough this never failed to me with Boost... Other clients were busted though... (It seems that Summit for Lemmy also got a bug fix release recently addressing this).

Thanks for everything you do!

One thing that's been coming up is that Boost doesn't seem to support certain markdown tags. For example, I'm pretty sure the Spoiler tag is a known issue.

The lemmy.world admins have enabled a bias checker bot for /c/news, /c/politics, and /c/world but we're finding, in Boost, the bot posts appear fully expanded:

Compared to other apps that compress it down with a "click here to expand" arrow (Jerboa in this case).

I guess the GOOD news is that, in a head to head comparison, only THREE Lemmy apps fully supported everything, so Boost is in good company.

Comparison here:

I think spoiler tag support is the most important thing missing from Boost. @[email protected] please fix this

App is smooth as butter. Thank you!

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to hide posts in my timeline. I obviously read the above in the release notes but still can't figure it out.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated! ๐Ÿ™

Your instance (lemmy.world) is not using Lemmy 0.19.4 yet

I logged out and back in but have a persisting bug-

I either can't upload an image when creating a new post or the image preview/url isn't working with the latest beta. The upload progress bar reaches 100% and then disappears, but the url/preview area is blank still.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll fix that, thanks for reporting

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

Awesome, thank you for all the continued work!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fixed in new beta version 1.0.14

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

Confirmed it's working again, thank you so much!

Images within replies seem to be working as normal though....
